In an interview with
MTV SPLASH PAGE, Dark Horse President Mike Richardson was questioned about upcoming movie projects.
Richardson was first questioned about The Goon, which has been struggling to pick up funding:
"We're out putting the project together, still raising funds," said Richardson of "The Goon."
"We're certainly hoping to have success in that soon."
Richardson also expressed his hopefulness that the project will get funded soon:
"It's a great clip," he said of the teaser that premiered on Splash Page.
"Blur Studios did a great job. We're hopeful. We think it's a very original series, and something the fans will really embrace. We're hoping to get it funded really soon."
Richardson was also asked about the upcoming adaption of the 2000 graphic novel R.I.P.D.:
"Robert Schwentke is working on designs and we're moving forward on that one," said Richardson.
"We're hoping for a start date sometime this summer. It's a project we've invested a lot of time in, and it's a great project."
Richardson also talked about actor Ryan Reynolds hopeful, but not quaranteed involvment in the R.I.P.D. movie:
"We approached him and he seemed to like it a lot at the beginning," he said.
"As it's developed, he's been very interested in the project, and he's a great choice for the role if you've read the graphic novel. I think we have a really great movie in the works."
When asked whether a third Hellboy was going to happen, Richardson offered this interesting hint at a spin-off movie:
"There are some other projects Guillermo is working on right now, but you might be more likely to see a 'B.P.R.D.' movie before another 'Hellboy' movie," he hinted
