So they made another hellboy movie. But instead of bringing back Ron Perlman and Guillermo Del Toro, or even David Harbour and Neill Marshall, they got one of the guys who directed Crank to make it with some guy I've never heard of in the lead.
The script was co-written by Mike Mignola, who created the comic series, and it's apparently set in the 50s so as not to step on toes in terms of continuity, and it the trailer has a much more straightforward horror movie tone.
But it looks really cheap and shitty and the lead character looks like a shoddy knockoff. All of the comments under the trailer made the same dumb jokes about it looking like a fan film or the hellboy movie you order from Wish.com or Temu.
And I never went deep on Hellboy comics, but for all the talk about being closer to the comic character etc. that they've been pushing since the Del Toro movies (ya know, the ones that people actually liked), those books are fun. They do have a sense of wit and humor. They're not just meant to be straight up horror with a somber atmosphere. The artwork is amusing and entertaining.
This is looks like it's gonna be a straight to streamer that everyone forgets is even in existence in a year if anyone hears about it to begin with.

True, looks like they dumped Hellboy into a cheap and bland looking horror movie. I do like the director’s Crank films, but he also did the ridiculously bad Ghost Rider sequel. Though this trailer doesn’t look like it has the absurdness of his previous films. Which might not be a good thing. And the Hellboy actor, isn’t making much an impression here.
