The next adaptation of one of the most iconic comic book characters is on the way with Hellboy: The Crooked Man. Fans have been anxiously waiting to see Jack Kesy as the titular character in a faithful adaption which counts comic creator Mike Mignola as an executive producer and co-writer on the project. Directed by Brian Taylor, the movie will feature a new chapter in the titular hero’s journey as he comes face to face with a ghost from his past.
What’s ‘Hellboy: The Crooked Man’ About? While most details about the project are kept tightly under wraps, the log line reveals that Hellboy won’t be alone in his adventure. Set in the 1950s, Hellboy, along with a rookie BPRD agent, find themselves stranded in rural Appalachia and discover a small community that is haunted by witches, led by a local devil. However, things take a darker turn when the haunting leads to a troubling connection to Hellboy's past.
It's sort of that much-loved by myself and other fans folk horror, almost procedural kind of Hellboy. He’s like a wandering nightstalker. He'll just end up in your town for some reason, you've got a haunting, you've got some problems with dark forces, and he's a plumber, and he's gonna solve it for you. That's the kind of Hellboy that we really like. My approach was to have an audience of one.
Hellboy: The Crooked Man debuts in UK theatres on 27 September and will open in US theatres on a later date. You can check out the new poster above and know more about the film with our guide here.
