Another 'Hellboy' reboot is on the way, as Millenium announces 'Hellboy: The Crooked Man'
The world's most lovable harbinger of hell just can't seem to leave the big screen.
Film studio Millennium Media announced its new reboot of the comic-based Hellboy series this week at Berlin's EFM, taking on the mantel of the horned superhero in an all-new installment that departs completely from the several prior adaptations it follows. The new film, titled "Hellboy: The Crooked Man", will be directed by Brian Taylor (Crank) and is adapted from a comic of the same name, released in 2008.
Notably, the new film is the first time comic creator Mike Mignola will be behind the script, following the 2004 box office success of Guillermo Del Toro's "Hellboy" and the less-than-stellar performance of the 2019 version penned by Andrew Cosby. In the new story, Hellboy and a rookie agent find themselves tasked with fighting local witches and devilish characters in 1950s Appalachia.

In the production's announcement, the studio explained it wants to create a wholly unique, and yet still authentic, slate of Hellboy films. "’The Crooked Man’ is a departure from all previous ‘Hellboy’ films where Mike Mignola and the creator of the comics will finally shepherd an authentic version of his stories and characters in film form,” said Millennium Media president Jeffrey Greenstein.
Production on the new film begins in March, in association with Dark Horse Entertainment, Nu Boyana studios, and Campbell Grobman Film.
