Jefferson White (“Yellowstone”) and Adeline Rudolph (“The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) have both joined “Hellboy: The Crooked Man” for Millennium Media. Filming begins later this month in Bulgaria.
Brian Taylor (“Crank”) will direct the film which boasts a script by original creator Mike Mignola and his Dark Horse comics collaborator Chris Golden.
In the film, Hellboy (Jack Kesy) and a rookie BPRD agent are stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia. There, they discover a small community haunted by witches and led by a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboy’s past – the Crooked Man.
Said man is Jeremiah Witkins, an 18th-century miser and war profiteer hanged for his crimes yet returned from Hell as the region’s resident Devil.
White and Rudolph are set to portray the respective roles of Tom Ferrell and Bobbie Jo Song. Ferrell is a key character in the original comic story.
The film follows on from the two beloved Guillermo del Toro-directed “Hellboy” features in 2004 and 2008 starring Ron Perlman, and the 2019 reboot helmed by Neil Marshall and starring David Harbour.
