By the way, I picture things in a very grand form, knowing that it's him. you know with Guillermo, I had the same experience on Pan's Labyrinth when I read and the script and heard the storyline and knew it was going to be him directing - it came about and fleshed out exactly how I pictured it. To answer your question about how that played out and if there were any changes and differences. I thought to myself at that moment, " this is going to be his trip back to the Oscars after Pan's Labyrinth". To take all that into consideration, and then hearing the story that he had planned - I didn't read the script yet, he didn't have one all written out yet, but he told me about it - I just knew. I love that he's a real person, he's not just some director. And he is such a devout family man that those things are so important to him, and when he does take the care to present it to you in that way, that's one of the many reasons he's so beloved by so many, especially me. Laurie Jones, and make sure she was going to be OK with that. that had some gravity to it and some responsibility with it that I wasn't used to in rubber suits, right?Īnd his concern for telling me about this was that it was going to get very romantic, and on-screen romantic - would the good Catholic boy in me be OK with that? And he really wanted me to talk to my lovely wife, Mrs. he stressed that you are going to be the romantic leading man of this movie. We've done six movies and a TV series, so playing a creature for him was nothing new, but the way he was presenting this was. Having met him on Mimic in 1997, and now we're 20 years later. None of that surprised me because we've been through an awful lot together up to that point. This was back in January 2014, so it was quite a while ago, and he kind of verbally went through the storyline with me and told me he wanted me to play the creature. And so I did, that's when he told me about this next movie he wanted to make.
I was two of the ghost ladies in that movie and on one of my days off he wanted to see me in his office during lunch break. I want to talk the specific way that you came to be involved in The Shape of Water, and what evolved from the first pitch that you got to the finished movie - were there any changes in how your role or the movie in general was?ĭoug Jones: Well, it was presented to me by Guillermo del Toro himself while we were working on Crimson Peak. Screen Rant: I wanted to go right back to the start. Screen Rant recently caught up with Jones for The Shape of Water's home video release to discuss becoming "the asset", as well as his thoughts on the impending Hellboy reboot and what the future holds for Saru on Star Trek Discovery.
