After stumbling with Pacific Rim and Crimson Peak, Guillermo del Toro’s tuby ass was booted to the curb by Summit Entertainment when it decided to reboot the Hellboy franchise, crushing del Toro’s hopes of completing his Hellboy trilogy — which includes the 2004 original and its 2008 sequel The Golden Army.
