The latest Hellboy movie has a strong pedigree – the script is being written by Hellboy’s creator Mike Mignola alongside Christopher Golden.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man will be directed by Brian Taylor, with production due to start in March in Bulgaria. According to the Deadline report from the EFM in Berlin, The Crooked Man will “expand Hellboy’s world through one of the most beloved issues of the comic series”, which first appeared in 2008.

“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,” Millennium Media’s President Jeffrey Greenstein is quoted as saying. “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 different and original Hellboy slate of films.”
