When asked about the Director’s Cut of Hellboy Del Toro said, “I think that the first release of the movie, the first cut that was in theaters, was a perfectly good cut, and I was happy with it. But I felt the need to go back and put some characters moments and some absolutely surreal subplots that made the movie have a different flavour. It [the Director’s Cut] restores a few of the character storylines that were lost in the theatrical cut.”
Hellboy (2204) on 4k Blu-ray is presented in 3840 x 2160 resolution at 1.85:1 aspect ratio with HDR10 High Dynamic Range color. English audio is provided in Dolby Atmos / Dolby TrueHD 7.1 as well as DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. The included Blu-ray edition also features the new Dolby Atmos track.
