Soon after the teaser trailer for Hellboy II: The Golden Army went online, the folks at Universal sent out new production photos from the film.

Here after the jump are 22 photos revealed today, along with four previously released images.

Also, today’s USA Today has a “First Look” feature on HBII, which says that the movie will “revolve around a world of elves, goblins and trolls forced out of the woods and into city sewers and tunnels because of urban sprawl.” While the article is not exactly a first look (the image that accompanied the story has been online for a few days now), it does have some cool quotes from director Guillermo del Toro.

Check out the newly enhanced official Hellboy movie site, which was launched earlier today.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army starring Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, and Luke Goss, hits theaters July 11, 2008.

Ow’s uhbou uh meet poi, guvna? An’ perhaps uh touch uh gin ta waas it deown?

Aye, mum, Oi’d luv me a meet poi! Sowch uh taste woyd tickle me knickers, it woyd.

I enjoy a spot of deliciousness, too, every now and again.

The cockney-heavy production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is palatable enough. Macabre dream team Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, and Sacha Baron Cohen lay out a smorgasbord of a Broadway adaptation that will leave audiences drooling or writhing — depending on their tolerance of anthropophagi (juicy word, eh? Means cannibals).

The film opens with a treat of a credit reel courtesy of Mr. Burton. Those impatient geeks out there that had to watch the opening credits online know what I’m talking about — it does for blood what Charlie and the Chocolate Factory‘s credit reel did for chocolate. Just writing about it conjures cravings of a strip steak: extra rare.

There is plenty of blood to go around.

Thereafter the audience is served up a common sight: Johnny Depp employing full British inflection and riding into town on a large wooden ship. The revelation occurs when he opens his mouth not to bark orders of swabbing the deck or putting out the jib, but to regale us with a voice that has too long been dormant. And once he opens his mouth to sing, there is a rare moment that he closes it.

That is the difficulty in adapting a three-hour musical into a 117-minute film. Songs are slashed in twain, exposition is bare bones and quickly delivered, and loose ends are left hopelessly untied. Adaptor (rightfully credited) John Logan was not totally equal to the task. However, of the major players in this production only Logan is top round where filet mignon was in order.

Juicy, sweet, extra-bloody filet mignon.

IGN has premiered the teaser trailer for Hellboy II: The Golden Army, director Guillermo del Toro‘s sequel to 2004’s Hellboy.

There’s also a bunch of new productions photos online at the official Hellboy site, one of which shows for the first time B.P.R.D. agent Johann Krauss. (See image here at right; agent Krauss is at far left.)

There’s also photos of Luke Goss, who plays the villainous Prince Nuada, a ruthless leader of an unstoppable army of underworld creatures.

There was trouble in the city. A new generation was breaking the old rules, and the man was trying to take advantage of them. So the fuzz came up with a plan — find three youngsters who could communicate with the hippies and help bust people who were messing with them. That way, the streets could be safe for everyone to let it all hang out.

Captain Adam Greer found Pete, a rich kid who found himself on the wrong side of the law; Linc, a product of the ghetto that got caught up in a race riot; and Julie, a sweet young thing who found herself homeless and trying anything to survive. Pete, Linc, and Julie became”¦the MOD SQUAD.

Starting in September of 1968, the young people of America sat down on Tuesdays at 7:30pm to see how these three hip youngsters fought the scum that were trying to take advantage of the kids on the street, and at the same time not be hassled by the man and his rules.

When Nim’s father (Butler) goes missing from their island, a twist of fate brings her together with Alexandra. Now, they must draw courage from their fictional hero, Alex Rover, and find strength in one another to conquer Nim’s Island.
