Third time’s the charm for the upcoming Hellboy reboot, Hellboy: The Crooked Man. Despite Guillermo del Toro’s adaptations (Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army) becoming cult favorites, attempts at adapting Mike Mignola’s beloved comic books to the big screen have failed to completely satisfy fans. As a result, director Brian Taylor is taking a new approach to bringing the acclaimed comic book character to life. While many comic book adaptations treat the source material as a rough guide, Taylor is treating Mignola’s ‘The Crooked Man’ run of Hellboy comics with as much respect as one would to a novel adaptation.
