‘Hellboy: The Crooked Man’ Trailer Puts New Hellboy in Folk Horror Story
A new Hellboy is ready to bump back against things that go bump in the night in Ketchup Entertainment’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man, and you can get a first look at Jack Kesy (12 Strong) as the character in the brand new trailer surfaced online this morning.
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola co-wrote the new Hellboy film with Christopher Golden.
Check out the new trailer below.
The Crooked Man is “set in the 1950s and costars Adeline Rudolph (Resident Evil) as a rookie agent of the BPRD (the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense) who teams up with Hellboy to protect the residents of Appalachia from the creepy Crooked Man, who is collecting souls for the devil.”
Brian Taylor (Crank, Gamer, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, Mom and Dad) directed the movie for Millennium, based on a Hellboy mini-series from 2008. The story is said to “expand Hellboy’s world through one of the most beloved issues of the comic series.”
Jefferson White (Yellowstone) stars alongside Kesy and Rudolph as Tom Ferrel, Leah McNamara as Effie Kolb, Joseph Marcell as Reverend Watts, Hannah Margetson as Cora Fisher, and Martin Bassindale as the Crooked Man, among others.
Taylor previously described Hellboy: The Crooked Man as an R-rated folk horror movie.
“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’s President Jeffrey Greenstein. “This is the first in the series of films that will captivate audiences in familiar (and new) ways. Brian Taylor is an expert across the board, and I couldn’t think of a better person to bring this story to life to show our audience this different and original Hellboy slate of films.”
Millennium Media is producing the new movie alongside Dark Horse Entertainment.
The second half of the year is loaded with hotly anticipated horrors including Alien: Romulus, director Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) sequel to the original horror classic that takes place between the events of Alien and Aliens. The film is set on the Renaissance research station, and Total Film has shared three brand new images of the human crew this week.
Meet the crew by checking out Total Film’s exclusive images below.
Alien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters on August 16.
In Romulus, “While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
Alien: Romulus is based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett.
