Featuring Hellboy stranded in 1950’s Appalachia with only an untried BPRD agent for backup, the movie will see them facing off against against a group of evil witches (possibly cannibals, depending on how true to the original comic it stays), and their leader, a devil known as the Crooked Man: a corrupt tax collector and war profiteer who was hanged for his crimes only to return from Hell as the region’s own personal devil. In fact, Millennium Media seem to be banking on this for the movie’s success, telling Deadline, “ 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.” What’s Hellboy: The Crooked Man about, then?īased on the 2008 comic (which Mignola wrote to coincide with the release of Guillermo del Toro’s amazing Hellboy: The Golden Army), Hellboy: The Crooked Man promises to be a faithful adaptation from page to screen.

Unlike with previous Hellboy movies, creator Mike Mignola has actually co-written the script for The Crooked Man, alongside longtime collaborator Chris Golden.
