Doug Jones Nosferatu A Symphony of Horror Interview header
Doug Jones is adding another iconic character to his filmography with Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror. Jones is generally best known for his work playing characters brought to life with a combination of his physical performance and practical effects, some of the more notable being in his frequent collaborations with Guillermo del Toro, some of which include Hellboy's Abe Sapien, both the Faun and Pale Man in Pan's Labyrinth and the Amphibian Man in The Shape of Water.
In anticipation of the movie's release, Screen Rant interviewed Doug Jones to discuss Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror, its 10-year journey from its successful Kickstarter campaign to release, wanting to honor original Orlok actor Max Schreck with his performance, the joy of reuniting with Fisher for the project, as well as his potential return for Hocus Pocus 3.
So, I thought,"You know what? The scraggly, ugly one. That I can get." I think the Count doesn't know how repulsive he looks. He still walks around with the confidence that he's the glorious Count of the past. I don't think he realizes how much he's faded, so it's like,"That's something I can relate to as Doug Jones." Now that I'm 54 years old. And he's got of heart and soul at the end of his journey through this retelling of the story.
Jones Looked To Only 1 Prior Nosferatu Actor For Inspiration He Also Finds A Unique Bright Side To The Competition With Robert Eggers' Remake I did want to ask, you just mentioned Schreck, but there's been so many different incarnations, both of, essentially, Dracula as well as Nosferatu, over the years.
Doug Jones: Oh, exactly, right? And I'm sure they came looking for him for that talking point in the press. Jones Loves Working With The "Poetic" David Lee Fisher "...without naming characters, we're kicking around a classic monster-type piece." So I mentioned you reuniting with David for this one after the similar Cabinet of Dr. Caligari remake. There was essentially a decade between when that one came out and when you first started working on this one.
I'm sure you don't want to spoil what that third title might be, but can you give me maybe a hint of one or two ideas you are kicking around for it? Once their contracts were all signed and dated, that's when I got a call that they were going ahead and so, then, Billy's back in the second one. So would I do a part three? Abso-freaking-lutely, I would. If that offer comes, yes. But story-wise, I don't know who's involved, who would be involved in the development right now. Will the three original witches come back? Will Billy come back? That's all yet to be determined from my end.
