The screenplay is credited to Andrew Cosby, while the Directing Credit is given to Horror Veteran Neil Marshall. The story centers around the resuscitation of Dark Sorceress Nimue (Jovovich) from a vengeful pig-fairy Gruagach seeking a means to gain revenge on Hellboy (Harbour) for Banishing him to a weakened form, all the while Hellboy is having a crisis of conscience and a family dispute with his dad, Trevor Bruttenholm (McShane) over the nature of their work.

Bob Garlen Presents: The Question Film Trilogy Fan Cast

My Pitch?
The idea behind this would essentially be the Idea that drew David Fincher into doing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. An adult R-Rated focused trilogy. With a comic book character like the Question, it’s a perfect template. Taking a Character like Vic Sage and putting him in a film Like Fincher’s Se7en would be inherently compelling, dynamic, and different from other comic book films. So the idea that would drive this would be to do a low budget R-Rated Film Trilogy with a beginning, middle, and end that all act like standalone stories with an overarching story telling us about the life of Vic Sage. There’s no doubt that even just 5 years ago the concept would be too foreign a concept, but with films like Todd Phillip’s Joker I can’t help but think this is the time to do The Question as a film, as well as do it differently then the standard DC superhero fair, as an R-Rated Emotionally Dark and Mature Thriller. This is my overall concept of how to do The Question as a trilogy.

Bob Garlen Presents: BATMAN Film Franchise Fan Cast


Overambitious
There’s no doubt that when it comes to fan casting, anything outside of a single film would be considered ambitious thinking. Doing a proposed 12 film Batman series is absolutely insane. So with that in mind I decided ‘why not?’ This is fancasting and it’s meant to be more fantasy than anything. There would never be a 12 Batman Film series, the length of time it would take to make alone would be roughly 20 or more years, and this cast includes a lot of characters that wouldn’t appear till movie 4,5,6, or 7. That being said, if the conditions where right and I could develop a long standing Batman film series this is what I would do with it, with the people I’d want to work on it. This is bigger than I really intended but I decided to have some fun with it.

So with all that in mind I present my BATMAN film series.

Bob Garlen's Hellboy Reboot

(Note: For some of the Images of Certain Figures (I.E. The Dullahan and Dracula) I couldn’t find images that were appropriate without having to contact an artist, instead I used either comic or film stills to fill in the design as close as it could represent. So numerous images might be marked as portraying a character that it clearly isn’t, this is just to give off what the character might appear as in the context of the film and doesn’t represent what the character actually looks like. Any messages of “Wrong Image” or “That’s not who that is” is already well understood in the character sense and this is a message just simply letting you know that I understand it’s not who it is, but the image used was as close an image to that character as I could find that fit the context.)
