Hellboy Teams Up With NBC For TV Spots

It’s pretty amazing how much critical praise and Academy Awards can open up movie bigwig’s wallets. Being the comic book geeks we are, we saw the last Hellboy movie the day it was released, it did decent in the box office. But the sequel to the movie seems to have tripled in terms of fanfare and marketing dollars. Of course this is due to director Guillermo del Toro’s stunning direction in Pan’s Labrynth in between the movies. See what the ol’ Oscar does for ya?

Part of these uber marketing dollars has been to team up with NBC for commercial spots and shorts with popular NBC talent like the loveable Chuck, James Lipton (of Inside The Actor’s Studio) as well as the American Gladiators. Check out the spots.
