Lionsgate Home Entertainment has officially released Neil Marshall's Hellboy on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD today. It was also made available on Digital HD earlier this month.
The 4K Ultra HD disc provides stunning visuals in 2160p and exceptional audio, which should make for a pleasant watch for fans of the film. There are also a number of exclusive editions currently available from Best Buy (Steelbook), Target (Steelbook) and Wal-Mart (Digial Graphic Novel).
As for special features, there's a pretty extensive three-part featurette that runs a little over an hour and takes fans behind the making of the movie with behind-the-scenes footage and new interviews with the cast and crew as well as creator Mike Mignola. There are also about eight minutes of deleted scenes and a seven-minute Previsualization featurette that shows off some of the visual effects.
The superhero film, which starred Golden Globe-nominee David Harbour (Black Widow) in the title role, was one of this year's biggest disappointments, both critically and commercially, as it currently boasts a measly 18% on review aggregator RottenTomatoes and only managed to gross $40.8 million worldwide on an estimated $50 million production budget, which means a sequel is probably off the table.
While the prior two Guillermo del Toro-directed Hellboy films, which starred Ron Perlman in the lead role, weren't exactly box office juggernauts either, both were received considerably more favorably by critics and audiences alike and were able to find second lives on home video and television.
