Los Angeles, April 10: Actress Milla Jovovich says she fell in love with the complicated nature of her role of Nimue in Hellboy. "What got me right away was that I thought she was right-on with what she stands for -- and she was immediately challenged and betrayed. Her points are valid, but she's defeated. So I was fascinated and I wanted to know where her story was going," Jovovich said in a statement.
"It was totally fascinating. I loved all the characters, especially mine, Nimue, the blood Queen. She is a very complicated woman which I loved. She is trying to bring two worlds together really hoping that they could live in peace. Trying to make that happen." As part of her preparation for her role, Jovovich went out and bought hardbound editions of several collections. Hellboy New Trailer, Starring David Harbour is Smashing Good!
