Hellboy: The Crooked Man is set to reignite the Hellboy franchise with a fresh, dark twist. Directed by Brian Taylor, this upcoming R-rated reboot promises to delve deeper into the horror elements that fans of the original comics have long cherished.
A Faithful Adaptation
Based on the acclaimed 2008 comic miniseries by Mike Mignola, “The Crooked Man” follows Hellboy and a rookie BPRD agent as they navigate the eerie, witch-haunted landscapes of 1950s rural Appalachia. This film stands out for its commitment to the source material, with Mignola himself co-writing the screenplay alongside Christopher Golden.
A New Hellboy
Jack Kesy steps into the role of Hellboy, bringing a fresh yet faithful interpretation of the iconic character. Kesy’s portrayal is expected to capture the essence of Hellboy’s complex nature—both his demonic power and his heroic heart.
Horror and Atmosphere
Taylor’s direction aims to reset the series with a folk horror influence, embracing the dark, scary, and violent elements that define the Hellboy comics. Inspired by horror legends like Stephen King, this reboot is set to deliver a chilling and atmospheric experience.
Release and Anticipation
Scheduled for release in September 2024, Hellboy: The Crooked Man is already generating buzz among fans and critics alike. With its blend of horror, faithful storytelling, and a new take on Hellboy, this film is poised to be a standout entry in the franchise.
