A Hellboy reboot in the drawers
You remember Guillermo del Toro’s two Hellboy movies, if so, I feel sorry for you… Still, note that you are not alone, because Millennium Media, the studio behind the Expendables movies or the very latest Rambo, recently announced that it wants to resume the saga from scratch with a reboot. To go even further, note that this new film already has a director, namely Brian Taylor (Crank), and even a title. The movie will be called Hellboy: The Crooked Man.
As its name suggests, this new story will rely heavily on the eponymous comic released in 2008, which is one of “the most popular issues” according to the firm Millennium Media, and aims to develop the universe of the character created by Mike Mignola.
Besides, the good news is that Mike Mignola himself will participate in the project, since he co-wrote the script with Christopher Golden (who has already worked on Hellboy comics). We can therefore hope that everything is faithful to the original work.
The Crooked Man is a departure from all previously released Hellboy movies where Mike Mignola and the comic book writer will finally present an authentic take on the stories and characters of this universe in film form. Jeffrey Greenstein’, president of Millennium Media‘
Several films in preparation
If we had expected that this reboot is content with a single film, know that this is not the case. Jeffrey Greenstein, president of Millennium Media, has indeed indicated that he wishes to set up several Hellboy feature films.
It’s the first in a series of films that will captivate audiences in both familiar and new ways. Brian Taylor is an expert in all areas, and I couldn’t imagine a better person to bring this story to life and show our audience this different and original Hellboy movie series. Jeffrey Greenstein
For the moment, the movie Hellboy: The Crooked Man has not let out any visuals or information regarding the cast. You will therefore have to be patient.
