Update: Ubergizmo has been contacted by a Lionsgate spokesperson. It appears that reports on which this post was based on were incorrect, and that Hellboy’s release has NOT been confirmed. Corrections about this topic have been cascading on the web.
In case you were unaware, Lionsgate confirmed the Hellboy reboot several months ago. It has also been confirmed that Stranger Things star David Harbour will be playing the demonic lead in this movie. Lionsgate today confirmed when the Hellboy reboot is going to hit the big screen. Be advised, you’re going to have to wait a couple of years.
Lionsgate confirmed today that the Hellboy reboot release date is January 11th, 2019. A first look has been shared via Twitter today which shows David Harbour in full Hellboy getup.
Unlike the previous films that were directed by Guillermo del Toro, the reboot is going to be rated R. Neil Marshall of Game of Thrones fame will be directing the movie.
The R rating means that the director’s hands won’t be tied and he will be able to go “as dark and as tough as he wants to go,” according to Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy.
The cast is quite strong. Ian McShane has been confirmed to play Hallboy’s adoptive father Trevor Bruttenholm while Milla Jovovich will be playing Nimue, the Blood Queen.
Not a lot is known about the plot at this point in time but we’re likely to hear about it in the coming months.
