DAVID HARBOUR TO RECEIVE
CINEMACON® ACTION STAR
OF THE YEAR AWARD
Lionsgate to release Hellboy
on April 12, 2019
“With an impressive resume spanning film, television and stage, David Harbour is sure to bring his own unique performance to the Mike Mignola-created character of Hellboy,” noted Neuhauser. “We could not be more excited to honor this versatile actor with the ‘CinemaCon Action Star of the Year Award.’”
Hellboy is back, and he’s on fire. From the pages of Mike Mignola’s seminal work, this action packed story sees the legendary half-demon superhero (David Harbour, Stranger Things) called to the English countryside to battle a trio of rampaging giants. There he discovers The Blood Queen, Nimue (Milla Jovovich, Resident Evil series), a resurrected ancient sorceress thirsting to avenge a past betrayal. Suddenly caught in a clash between the supernatural and the human, Hellboy is now hell-bent on stopping Nimue without triggering the end of the world. Hellboy also features Ian McShane (John Wick), Daniel Dae Kim (Hawaii Five-0 and Lost), and Sasha Lane (American Honey).
An Emmy and Golden Globe nominee and SAG and Critic’s Choice Award winner for his role as Chief Jim Hopper on Stranger Things, Harbour has appeared on the small screen in such series as Manhattan, The Newsroom, State of Affairs, Rake, and Pan Am. On the big screen his credits include Human Affairs, Sleepless, Suicide Squad, Black Mass, The Equalizer, A Walk Among Tombstones, Parkland, End of Watch, Revolutionary Road, Thin Ice, Brokeback Mountain, The Green Hornet, Quantum of Solace, W./E., and Between Us. On the stage, Harbour was a Tony nominee for the revival of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and has also appeared in such productions as Fifth of July, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Merchant of Venice, The Invention of Love, and The Coast of Utopia. Harbour recently wrapped production on the Netflix action film Dhaka, opposite Chris Hemsworth.
