[quote]Fango got the first pic above and plot/broadcast details on HELLBOY: SWORD OF STORMS, the animated follow-up to Guillermo del Toro’s feature that we first reported on here. Del Toro and Hellboy’s comics creator Mike Mignola served as executive producers and were heavily involved in the story development and visual style; other talent attached includes supervising director Tad Stones and the previous movie’s producers Lawrence Gordon, Lloyd Levin and Mike Richardson. Ron Perlman and Selma Blair vocally reprise their roles of Hellboy and Liz Sherman; the new movie is set to premiere on Cartoon Network in October.
The synopsis goes as follows: “When a university professor opens a forbidden scroll, he becomes possessed by the twin demons of Thunder and Lightning, who seek to return to our world to wake their brothers, the dragons. Hellboy, researcher Kate Corrigan and Russell Thorne, an albino psychic, travel to Japan to investigate. Hellboy finds the Sword of Storms, which transports him to a world of Japanese folklore. He learns that the sword not only defeated the demons but is also the key to returning them to Earth. The possessed professor sends several creatures of Japanese myth to retrieve or destroy the sword.
“Meanwhile, intense thunderstorms are spreading over the planet and huge monsters are waking all over the world. Suspecting that it’s all connected to the events in Japan, Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien rush to join Kate and Russell. Their plane is hit by lightning and crashes into the sea, and they have to face a giant creature of their own. They learn that if the dragons completely awake, it will be an end to Man’s dominion of the Earth. In the world of folklore, Hellboy is tricked into breaking the sword, which brings him and the two demons back into our world.â€
