'Hellboy: The Crooked Man' Will Be an R-Rated Folk Horror Movie [Exclusive]

Get all the details about Brian Taylor's 'Hellboy: The Crooked Man' in our exclusive interview with the director. Including when the R-rated folk horror starts filming and how the movie begins.

Last week, we learned that a new live-action Hellboy reboot was in the works from Millennium Media and director Brian Taylor under the working title of Hellboy: The Crooked Man. It came a bit out of left field considering the series' stock is still reeling after the 2019 adaptation starring David Harbour and the title itself hearkened to something altogether different from its predecessors.

Taylor Wants to Stick Close to Mignola's Original Work Taylor told us he's doing all he can to keep it close to Mignola's comics, and he confirmed that Mignola and his Baltimore partner Christopher Golden were writing. "We started with a draft by Mike and Chris Golden. Funny enough, a lot of what I’m doing is trying to bring it even closer to the original comic book than what they did.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man Will Have Three Leads Considering the original comics run was as much about Tom and Cora as it was about Hellboy, it's unsurprising then that Taylor revealed his reboot will have three leads. That said, the third lead won't be Cora. "In addition to HB himself there’s Tom Ferrell, who fans of the comic book will know...

"We've been doing a lot of location scouting out here and the goal is to recreate 1950s rural Appalachia, and the locations that we're finding, I think would make fans of the original comic really excited. Because some of these places just seem to have sprung straight from the pages. There’s a lot of haunted woods in Bulgaria!"
