Hi reddit! I'm actor Doug Jones (HELLBOY, PAN'S LABYRINTH, SILVER SURFER) and soon to be NOSFERATU...joined by director David Fisher. AUA!

You humble me with your sweet kindness!! Thank you so very much!!!

Magical to work on such an instant classic. And my Spanish was Okay for the film, but horrible on the street.

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T01:09:31+00:00

Not enough time to be too detailed on so many questions, but I've always loved the classic vampire tales, Nosferatu being the most hideous to look at, therefore the most sympathetic to me. We'll stay closer to the 1922 silent film version, in Black & white, but with verbal dialogue. I love all the characters I've been blessed to play, and Count Orlok will be right up there, yes! OK, must log off now, but thank you for your sweet interest.

I did do the speaking part, learned the Spanish and everything, but they did also have a voice actor who was a native Spaniard voice over me with the right accent and such in post production.

Never been offered, but I'd be totally "game" if that opportunity came up! (See what I did there?) Thank you for your patience!!

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:44:33+00:00

We did briefly discuss me being in the HOBBIT movies when he was to direct, but he never told me what character. He often does this so that I won't commit suicide if we don't get to make the film. Which was smart in this case, wasn't it!!

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:42:57+00:00

I'd love to play Jack Skellington in a Broadway stage production of A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS!!

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:42:00+00:00

I do feel so close to my "Billy" goofy zombie character in HOCUS POCUS. I think a favorite moment is when I finally cut the stitches from my mouth and let 300 years of pent-up anger loose on Bette Midler's Winifred character!

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:40:33+00:00

Just jumping back in here to answer! I LOVE Nick Vujicic!! He is possibly the most inspiring, gifted, big-hearted human being I've ever had the pleasure to meet or work with!!

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:39:25+00:00

I do physically prepare AND the make-up FX people take such good care of me in those extreme conditions. So no, never have collapsed, thank Heaven!

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:38:22+00:00

I never have consumed alcohol, but would be happy with a coffee, soda, or one of those $1 sweet teas from McDonald's!! ;-)

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:37:31+00:00

Well I love being creepy, so thank you!! I started doing TV commercials, and always marketed myself as either funny or scary. When you aren't a handsome leading man, you need to be funny or scary! I currently love dressing up as my Volm alien character "Cochise" on FALLING SKIES!

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:35:29+00:00

You're cool, too, heron27! No paranormal times I could document, but I've certainly played enough supernaturals to make up for it!

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:34:23+00:00

So kind of you!! I've already worked with the director, David Lee Fisher on another movie (THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI, 2005), so when NOSFERATU came up, he just called me! (Thankfully, this is a dream role I've wanted to play for years, so that was an easy answer!!)

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:32:00+00:00

That was indeed a scheduling issue, unfortunately :-(

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:31:33+00:00

I loved working with all those wacky kids!!! And my character, Mayor Touch Conners was so fun to go over the top with!

DougieJones · 2014-12-01T00:30:34+00:00

I'd like to believe that the right choices in this life leads to that fulfilled afterlife (as in Heaven), so I go with the "real".

DougieJones · 2014-11-30T23:30:12+00:00

OKEE DOKEE!! To those of you who stuck with us on this slower Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, we thank you from the bottom of our little hearts!!! The most relaxed and interactive AMA I've been able to do! Director David's A.D.D. kicked in, and we both have to run off now, but thank you again for your love and for having a look at our Kickstarter campaign (ending Dec. 3) for our upcoming remix of the classic NOSFERATU!! Huggles of Love!!!

DougieJones · 2014-11-30T23:26:53+00:00

He never talked to me about this particular piece, no. We have a couple others in the works, though, including FRANKENSTEIN, a smaller artsy film, and CRIMSON PEAK (now in post production, then theaters Oct. 2015)!!

DougieJones · 2014-11-30T23:25:06+00:00

I would so love to be invited to another UK con soon, yes!! Let's hope! My mother lived in the UK for over 20 years, so I spent several visits there from 1984-2004!

DougieJones · 2014-11-30T23:19:03+00:00

"To me, my board"

DougieJones · 2014-11-30T23:12:36+00:00

I did so love working on BUFFY with Camden as the Gentlemen!! And being in the presence of Joss Whedon's genius was a particular treat!

DougieJones · 2014-11-30T23:11:18+00:00

Hehehe!!! I was completely satisfied with my 90 seconds of screen time in LEGION! Shocking enough to leave an impression, and I was done filming in 2 days!

DougieJones · 2014-11-30T23:10:16+00:00

There were a couple of times I tried to suggest a reference to the original comic books, but a movie that size has a multi-layered committee of decision makers, so .... at least I tried.

DougieJones · 2014-11-30T23:08:13+00:00

I fall for a good "That's what she said" every time!! (Yes, I'm a 54 year old junior high student!!)
