Church officials are defending their decision to allow Lionsgate’s Hellboy reboot to shoot inside Wells Cathedral in Somerset, England.
The Cathedral accepts bookings from a range of organisations for the use of its space and the Dean and Chapter agreed to let M11 use the Cathedral to film a small element of the forthcoming feature film, Hellboy 3.
Movies shooting inside or around churches, cathedrals and other religious sites is certainly nothing new, so it’s no surprise that Wells Cathedral would open its doors to Hellboy (after reaching a financial agreement with producers).
Hellboy originated, in fact, as a superhero in a series of novels created by Mike Mignola.
