If you've ever heard Guillermo del Toro talk about his movies, then you know he's about the biggest geek in the world. For his fans, that's a good thing, because the "Pan's Labyrinth" director wants to bring them behind the scenes. For July's "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army," he has set up a cool website to document production. You can watch "HBTV," where Del Toro has uploaded videos, including one of Hellboy creator Mike Mignola visiting the set. Another link has a gallery of preproduction drawings, where Del Toro comments on each one using his usual geek speak, such as "I decided to go for a crepuscular, warm palette for the Fantasy realm." Visiting the site is sort of like getting a look inside Del Toro's head -- and also a sneak peek at featurettes that will surely be on the DVD.
