Get stoked, comic book fans! A reboot of the well-loved Hellboy franchise is coming your way. This new movie goes by the title, ‘Hellboy: The Crooked Man’. It is being created under the brilliant direction of Brian Taylor, celebrated for his work on ‘Crank.’ Chris Golden and Mike Mignola, the genius behind the original Hellboy comic books, are the screenplay writers.
A Little Preview
A couple of weeks ago, we caught our first look at the movie through a suspenseful teaser trailer. Since then, things have only gotten more exciting. The movie’s distributor, Ketchup Entertainment, has treated us to a sneak peek. This includes an all-new image of Hellboy which is causing quite a buzz.
Say Hello to Our New Hero
And guess who’s stepping into the mighty shoes of Hellboy? It’s none other than Jack Kesy, the actor who broke on the scene as Black Tom Cassidy in Deadpool 2. If you’re as jazzed up as we are, just scroll down and take a look at the picture.
The Movie’s Twist and Turn
‘Hellboy: The Crooked Man’ takes us back in time to the 1950s. Hellboy and his rookie sidekick from BPRD find themselves trapped in rural Appalachia. What do they uncover? A small town tormented by witches, led by a local devil with a chilling past linked to Hellboy. Sounds thrilling, doesn’t it?
Understanding the Crooked Man
In the comics, the Crooked Man was once a man named Jeremiah Witkins in the 18th century. He met his demise due to war profiteering and other crimes. However, he made a shocking comeback from Hell, becoming the local devil.
Who’s Joining Kesy?
Adding to the cast roster, we have Jefferson White of Yellowstone as Tom Ferrell and Adeline Rudolph from Netflix’s Resident Evil as Bobbie Jo Song. According to the Hellboy fandom, Tom Ferrell is a notorious figure dabbling in early witchcraft, which eventually leads to his self-exile. Bobbie Jo Song on the other hand, is a parapsychologist who unintentionally creates trouble and needs Hellboy’s help to resolve it.
A Word from the Producer
Producer Les Weldon from Millennium Media calls the film “a true, dark revival of the comic book feel.” He praises its deliberate pace and inherent uneasiness, setting it aside from other movies in the genre.
