Right around the time the first Hellboy movie was made, the comics were in pretty bad shape, the movie basically saved the Hellboy comics.

Or you can have a studio see the value and money making potential in such a movie, and now would be the best time with movies such as the Dark Knight and Iron Man doing huge business at the boxoffice, which right now is the most realistic way of obtaining a Mirage-esque movie.
