Plot and production details for Millennium Media's upcoming Hellboy reboot were announced during the EFM in Berlin.

The reboot will be directed by Brian Taylor, with the title confirmed as Hellboy: The Crooked Man, with production starting next month in Bulgaria. Comic creator Mike Mignola and Dark Horse comics collaborator Chris Golden have penned the script.

Plot details show Hellboy and a rookie BPRD agent stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia. There, they discover a small community haunted by witches, led by a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboy’s past: the Crooked Man.

In the comic, The Crooked Man was an eighteenth-century miser and war profiteer named Jeremiah Witkins who was hanged for his crimes yet returned from Hell as the region’s resident Devil.


“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.”

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.

Producers include Dark Horse Entertainment’s Mike Richardson, Millennium Media’s Jeffrey Greenstein, Jonathan Yunger, Les Weldon, Rob Van Norden, and Yariv Lerner. Mike Mignola, Millennium Media’s Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, Boaz Davidson, Tanner Mobley, and Campbell Grobman Films’ Lati Grobman and Christa Campbell are among the executive producers. Sam Schulte will co-produce on behalf of Millennium Media.

Jack 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.
