A new Hellboy movie is coming out soon and fans will be happy to know that the character's creator has given the film a thumbs up.
Hellboy: The Crooked Man has wrapped up principal photography according to comic book creator Mike Mignola. The film was announced just a few months ago with production starting in March. Even with the movie having such a short production period, Mignola is confident in the quality of the movie.
"So they've wrapped principal photography on the new HELLBOY movie," Mignola said in an Instagram post. "I wasn't on set for this one but they have been nice enough to send me dailies and I have to say I have loved what I've been seeing. If fans have been waiting for a Hellboy film that is actually an adaptation of one of my stories I think they are finally going to get one."
He adds, "Congratulations to director Brian Taylor and a really wonderful cast—And to co-writer Chris Golden who did so much to figure out how to give the studio what they wanted and still keep true to the heart and soul of THE CROOKED MAN, my favorite of the Hellboy stories."
"I wish Richard Corben was still around to see this—They did a wonderful job bringing his really horrific character to life."
