“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 who is at the EFM in Berlin talking to potential distributors about the project. “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 diverse and original Hellboy slate of films.”
Deadline recently reported that Jack Kesy will star as Hellboy in Millenniums reboot The Crooked Man, and now the site is reporting that Jefferson White will star as Tom Ferrell and Adeline Rudolph will play Bobbie Jo Song.
Jack Kesy, best known for playing Black Tom in Deadpool 2, will be playing Hellboy for Millennium Medias Hellboy reboot The Crooked Man.
Brian Taylor will be directing with a script penned by Hellboy comic book creator Mike Mignola and Chris Golden. Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be a Millennium Media presentation in association with Dark Horse Entertainment. The Nu Boyana production is being produced in association with Campbell Grobman Film.
Production for the movie will begin in the upcoming months and will see Hellboy stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia with a rookie BPRD agent. There they discover a small community haunted by witches, led by a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboys past: the Crooked Man.
QuoteJack Kesy is a dynamic actor who has the ability to morph into his roles. His talent and stature are perfect for this younger Hellboy. I was very impressed with him while working together on The Outpost, said co-President of Millennium Media, Jonathan Yunger.
