Call it a reboot, a remake, a reimagining or redo but Brian Taylor’s (Crank, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) new take on the massive hit graphic novel and movie franchise Hellboy is coming and this time, the filmmaker is looking to reinvent the franchise and amp up the goth horror elements at the same time. Hellboy: the Crooked Man now sees Jack Kesy (12 Strong, Deadpool 2) stepping into the theatrical role of Hellboy taking over for Ron Pearlman and David Harbour who were featured as the titular demon hunter in past iterations. Locked and loaded with massive chills, and some savage stripped down action, this Hellboy looks to deliver for hardcore fans and newcomers alike.
With its North American release in theaters locked in for an August 30th date, UK cinemas are receiving the blood-soaked goods as well as the movie will hit across the pond on September 27th courtesy of Icon film Distribution. To celebrate, check out the riveting new key art, IK trailer and stills from the surefire future cult classic!
Synopsis: Written by series creator Mike Mignola, Hellboy makes a blazing return to the big screen in a brand-new instalment of the global hit franchise that masterfully blends blood-soaked action with truly chilling horror.
In the 1950s, Hellboy is enlisted to aid rookie paranormal researcher, Bobbie Jo Song, in the transportation of a deadly creature. However, their mission soon goes awry when an accident leaves them stranded in the forests of rural Appalachia where a small community resides, haunted by demonic forces. With all clues pointing towards witchcraft as the culprit, Hellboy and his allies must hunt down the source of this evil – the ‘Crooked Man’ who has been sent to Earth to collect souls for the devil.
From director Brian Taylor (Crank, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) and starring Jack Kesy (12 Strong, Deadpool 2) in the title role, Hellboy: The Crooked Man is a bold and fresh entry, taking the iconic character back to the roots of his much-loved source material.
Icon Film Distribution presents Hellboy: The Crooked Man in UK Cinemas from 27 September
I hope it’s good.
