The first trailer for ‘Hellboy: The Crooked Man‘ has been released. We have got a new Hellboy, and yeah, Jack Kesy looks so cool in the role. Watch the trailer below.
The above trailer opens with scenic shots of the trees, rocks, and hills of Appalachia, but it quickly becomes clear that something is deeply wrong — “Smells like death,” Kesy’s Hellboy proclaims. As the trailer proceeds, we see a levitating woman bitten by a snake, plagues of bugs, and other horrific sights — all hinting at the dark and terrifying journey ahead.
The film is directed by Brian Taylor from a screenplay by Mignola and Chris Golden, adapted from the limited series written by Mike Mignola. The film stars Kesy as Hellboy/Anung Un Rama, Jefferson White as Tom Ferrell, Hannah Margetson as Cora Fisher, Joseph Marcell as Reverend Nathaniel Armstrong Watts, Leah McNamara as Effie Kolb, and Adeline Rudolph as Bobbie Jo Song.
In the 1950s, Hellboy and a rookie BPRD agent, stranded in rural Appalachia, discover a small community haunted by witches, led by a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboy’s past: the Crooked Man.
‘Hellboy: The Crooked Man’ marks the first big-screen adaptation of the character to include Mignola as part of the creative team, as he co-wrote the film’s screenplay with Golden.
Produced by Millennium Media in partnership with Dark Horse Entertainment and Campbell Grobman Film. It’s the first movie from Millennium’s collaboration with Telepool, owned by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.
