Anna Walton Movies
Classically trained British actress Anna Walton received her dramatic tutelage at the Oxford School of Drama in her native U.K., where she specialized exclusively in theater, essaying roles in productions of such theatrical mainstays as The Cherry Orchard, Picnic, and The Country Wife. Walton then moved into BBC productions following graduation, including Caravaggio and The Forgotten Plot, then branched out into Hollywood productions, where she specialized largely in fantasy and thus remained far removed from her proscenium origins. Assignments included a lead in the 2007 horror saga Vampire Diary (as a beautiful yet enigmatic young woman who claims to be one of the undead), the role of Severian in the sci-fi action yarn The Mutant Chronicles (2008), and a turn as underworld princess Nuada in Guillermo del Toro's comic book fantasy Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). Walton also played Susannah in the NBC miniseries Crusoe (2008), adapted from the Daniel Defoe novel. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Ron Perlman returns to the role of the big red BPRD agent in this sequel to 2004's Hellboy, directed once again by Guillermo del Toro and scripted as before in collaboration with original Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. For centuries, an ancient truce has kept the naïve citizens of the human race safe from the horrors of the invisible realm -- but that's all about to change, and fast. A ruthless leader has emerged in the invisible realm, a tyrant just as comfortable walking the surface realm as he is living in the land of fantasy. When this power-mad ruler defies his bloodline to assemble an unstoppable army of fantastical creatures that he will use to wage a supernatural war on humanity, it begins to appear that humankind's days are numbered. But Hellboy (Perlman) isn't about to stand idly by as the planet is purged by a demonic despot, and with a little help from his team at the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, he may just be able to send our otherworldly overlords packing. Of course, Hellboy's pyrokinetic girlfriend, Liz (Selma Blair), is always willing to conjure up an inferno or two when things get desperate, aquatic Abe (Doug Jones) is prepared to dive headlong into any battle, and protoplasmic mystic Johann (voice of Thomas Kretschmann) proves an invaluable companion in times of inter-dimensional conflict. Now, as the creatures who inhabit the spiritual realm gear up for an all-out attack on the human plane, the only one capable of saving the Earth is a tough-talking hellspawn rejected by both worlds. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
