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.

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.

A Big Name in the 90s: Miramax

Back when Harvey Weinstein was in charge, his company, Miramax, was a big deal in Hollywood. It brought us award-winning movies like Pulp Fiction, The Crying Game, Good Will Hunting, and Shakespeare in Love. But in 1999, Miramax let something big slip through their fingers. They passed on the chance to distribute a small horror film that ended up making waves – The Blair Witch Project.

The Film That Could Have Been: The Blair Witch Project

In the late 90s, two talented filmmakers, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, dreamed up an innovative concept for a horror film. Operating on a small budget of just over $200,000, The Blair Witch Project was born. Despite being turned away by Miramax, the duo managed to find a home for their film with Artisan Entertainment.

This turned out to be a major miss for Miramax. The Blair Witch Project, released in 1999, rocked the film world. It brought in a whopping $248 million against its small budget. Even more than that, it inspired a whole new genre of found footage films. The success of The Blair Witch Project was a huge missed opportunity for Miramax.

Gwyneth Paltrow and the Highs and Lows with Weinstein

While The Blair Witch Project slipped away, Miramax and Harvey Weinstein were making a major impact on another Hollywood talent – Gwyneth Paltrow. She starred in many of Weinstein’s films like The Talented Mr. Ripley, Emma, The Pallbearer, and Shakespeare in Love. Despite clashes with Weinstein’s unruly behavior, Paltrow found success under his production.

In a chat with Variety, Paltrow shed light on her experiences. She stood up against Weinstein’s bullying, feeling it was her responsibility having worked so closely with Miramax. Although they had their differences, their work together resulted in the acclaimed film, Shakespeare in Love.

Shakespeare in Love marked a high point in Paltrow’s career. Her performance won her the Best Actress Oscar. And the film won several others, including Best Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor for Dame Judi Dench, and Best Picture.

Remembering the Classics

Today, you can look back on these classic films from your own home. Both Shakespeare in Love and The Blair Witch Project are available to rent on Apple TV+. Looking back at these films brings an appreciation for their creation. Because while Miramax did miss out on The Blair Witch Project, it also played a significant role in other significant films.

The story also shows the courage of those who stood up against Weinstein’s bullying behavior. And through all the highs and lows, Hollywood keeps giving us so many captivating stories, both on and off-screen.

So there we have it, the tale of a big studio’s missed opportunity with The Blair Witch Project. Sure, they missed one blockbuster, but let’s not forget the many other hits they did make. And, hey, even the mighty can miss a beat sometimes! It’s the lessons we take from our misses that really count.
