Milla Jovovich Shares Photo of First ‘Hellboy’ Marketing; The Blood Queen Rises
Creator Mike Mignola recently noted that Neil Marshall’s Hellboy reboot, a darker (and rated R) vision than Guillermo del Toro’s films, is going to be as faithful to the comic books as possible, particularly adapting three Duncan Fegredo-illustrated miniseries’ in the world of comics: Darkness Calls, The Wild Hunt, and The Storm and the Fury.
And speaking of comic book faithfulness, the first “in the wild” marketing for Marshall’s Hellboy plays up that fact. Star Milla Jovovich, who plays Nimue (“The Blood Queen”) in the film, took to Instagram last night to share a photo of a giant banner that’s on display in Los Angeles, on Wilshire Blvd. “The Blood Queen has risen,” she wrote.
That banner, well, it should make fans of the comic books very happy!
The new film’s plot follows the hero and his ragtag team of paranormal researchers who are trying to save the world from a medieval sorceress who wants to destroy humankind.
David Harbour is your new Hellboy. The cast also includes Ian McShane, Daniel Dae Kim, Penelope Mitchell, Sophie Okonedo, Brian Gleeson and Alistair Petrie.
Look for the return of Hellboy on January 11, 2019.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
