Del Toro trolls both the Dark Universe and his Hellboy fans; decides to just...

[JasonPratt]

...go ahead and make the Creature from the Black Lagoon movie this year for Fox Searchlight, except the (quite explicitly) Amazonian "Creature" (who very explicitly has the Creature's signature hands) is really an Abe Sapien prologue sort of (whom he also resembles), set in the 50s. Y'know, when the Creature movies were made.

Also, this is not a joke.

Even if this turned out to be the suckiest movie ever made, this would still be unspeakable genius.

[Staggerwing]

We need more trailers to tide us over.

[JasonPratt]
