Something is wrong in Appalachia in the first trailer for ‘Hellboy: The Crooked Man.’ Jack Kesy stars as the big red hero trying to figure it out.
I would’ve shared the video via YouTube, but unfortunately, it’s embedded into Entertainment Weekly’s web page. As a big Hellboy fan, I’m not sure what to make of it so far, but I like the horror vibe.
Fuck it, I ripped it to my YouTube account. Find it here.
I like what they’re doing - the previous films went big with sprawling high stakes adventures, whereas this gets back to the feel of a lot of the comics where Hellboy rocks up somewhere to combat some evil menace. If this approach works (smaller budget quicker turnaround - shooting started in March 2023) they could make a more sustainable franchise building up to something big. The team also looks solid - the director of Crank with Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden co-writing. So I feel pretty optimistic.
