It may come as a surprise to learn that Mike Mignola and others are looking to try again given that the most recent effort to adapt Mike Mignola's Hellboy to the big screen, starring David Harbour as the title character, made a poor $55 million globally (against a $50 million budget). But it is real!
The Crooked Man, a comic book story, will be adapted for the latest movie, as was first reported by Discussing Film and later verified by Deadline. In a potentially more intriguing development, one-half of the Crank duo Neveldine/Taylor, Brian Taylor, is on board to direct. Mignola and Christopher Golden are in charge of the screenplay.
Hellboy and a new BPRD agent will be stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia in the tale. They find a small witch-inhabited community there that is ruled by the Crooked Man, a local devil with a troubling link to Hellboy's past.
According to the comic, The Crooked Man was Jeremiah Witkins, a miser and war profiteer from the eighteenth century who was hanged for his offenses but later emerged from Hell as the local Devil.
Although no one has yet revealed who will play Hellboy, filming is set to begin in Bulgaria the following month.
The last one's creator, Millennium Films, is hoping that this new one will eventually start a franchise.
According to Jeffrey Greenstein, president of Millennium Media, "The Crooked Man is a departure from all previous Hellboy films where Mike Mignola, the creator of the comics, will finally shepherd an authentic version of his tales and characters in film form." "This is the first of a sequence of movies that will enthrall viewers in both expected and unexpected ways. As a multifaceted expert, Brian Taylor is the ideal choice to bring this tale to life and present our viewers with this unique and original Hellboy film series."
Despite everything, we still find ourselves wondering why no one has jumped at the chance to see Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro complete his own series.
