HELLBOY: THE CROOKED MAN's International Release Date Has Been Revealed (And It's Coming VERY Soon)

With still no confirmed release date for Hellboy: The Crooked Man in North America, we do have news on when the reboot starring Jack Kesy will drop in at least one international location. Check it out!

Hellboy: The Crooked Man's second trailer helped change a lot of minds and, while there's still not a huge amount of buzz surrounding the reboot, it at least feels like there's a chance it will surprise fans.

Weirdly, no release date has been announced for the movie but the cat might be out of the bag courtesy of an international distributor. They say the movie is heading to Indian theaters on Friday, September 13.

PVR INOX Pictures is "the largest independent distributor of foreign language films in India," and if it's being released there as soon as next month, we have to believe this date will apply to other international locations as well (though August 30 is another date we've seen floating around online).

We'd say it's likely that, despite releasing in theaters overseas, Hellboy: The Crooked Man is getting a Digital release in the U.S. and may skip the big screen altogether. 

During a recent interview, Hellboy: The Crooked Man director Brian Taylor (Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance) made it clear he isn't looking to imitate what's come before with this new movie.

"I don’t think in terms of 'it’s a reboot' or trying to start a new franchise – this isn’t content, it’s a movie that needs to stand on its own," the filmmaker explained. "Nobody wants to see a cheap knock-off of a Guillermo del Toro $100-million movie. This is going back to the young Hellboy where he was really more of the plumber who’s going to fix your monster problem."

"This wandering, sarcastic, soulful, smoking guy who stumbles on supernatural hauntings and occurrences and helps out as best he can," Taylor added. "If Mike [Mignola] feels like for the first time he sees his guy on screen, then I feel like we’ve succeeded."

Stay tuned for more Hellboy: The Crooked Man updates as we have them.

Stranded in 1950s rural Appalachia, Hellboy and a rookie BPRD agent discover a small community haunted by witches, led by the Crooked Man, a local devil with a troubling connection to Hellboy's past.

Brian Taylor directs Hellboy: The Crooked Man from a script by Mike Mignola and Chris Golden. The cast is led by Jack Kesy as Hellboy, Jefferson White as Tom Ferrell, and Adeline Rudolph playing Bobbie Jo Song. We'll also see Leah McNamara as Effie Kolb, Joseph Marcell as Reverend Watts, Hannah Margetson as Cora Fisher, and Martin Bassindale as the Crooked Man.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man is set to be released later this year.

I'll be honest, it's starting to look more and more likely that U.S. is only going to get it as a V.O.D. if the U.S. does get a theatrical release date, it's probably going to be mid to late September, so it has a remote chance at the #1 spot before Joker 2 comes out.

I think this will actually be good(fingers crossed), I mean it only had a 25mil budjet, so it can get much forgivness for some thingsand then, if it's good and makes money they can go with bigger budget

@RegularPoochie - Good point. This will probably be the most successful Hellboy movie so far what with the budget being so low.

@ObserverIO - yeah, I don't know why the nudger isn't even mentioned in the articles about this and I don't mean only this site, or I habe just misses it, because Del Toros 100mil+ is mentioned here.

Damn , that’s quick..

Makes me wonder if the studio might just dump it quietly to get rid of it in the next month or so (which seems likely) or will just get a digital release.

Anyway , It looks like it could be alright imo…

I do like the smaller scale , more horror focused approach to the character but something about it feels generic for lack of a better word (though the atmosphere seems to be there though).

I hope this isn't the same scenario as the just released Crow film. It seems cinema was on a steady upswing but, with The Crow and possibly this 2nd reboot of Hellboy failing, that's what has been killing cinema the last few years. At least in the comicbook movie world.

I think they should try a 1950's set Hellboy and the BPRD TV series.

I think stuff like Adventure Time and Steven Universe are a great example to follow for Hellboy. Stuff is sprinkled in early on & it's not until they're a proven success that they go in deep on the overarching story-lines & mythology. The last movie just got bogged down with the mythology implications & building a franchise.
