NOSFERATU - “A
Symphony of Horror “- SUMMARY:
The original 1922 Nosferatu – a Symphony of Horror is
regarded as one of the most important films ever made, and a cornerstone of the
vampire genre. Now, over one-hundred years later, the bloodthirsty Count
Orlok, (played by the legendary Doug Jones), rises once again to cast an
unearthly shadow in a feature-length
retelling of the classic horror masterpiece. Faithfully presented in the style
of golden-age horror, and combining scenic elements from the original film with
new sound and music, this all new Nosferatu – a Symphony of Horror is a
never-before-seen “cinematic-remix” of the timeless vampire tale, and an
otherworldly revisit to the land of ghosts and phantoms where blood is
life!
Doug Jones
Doug Jones is perhaps one of the most
brilliant actors of our time. Some say he is this generations "Boris Karloff"!
Doug's illustrious career spans 30+ years
in television and on film! Currently Doug can be seen as Captain Saru on the CBS
series “Star Trek Discovery" (perhaps one of the best “Trek” series to hit airways)!
Fans will long remember Doug for his work
as THE SILVER SURFER in FANTASTIC FOUR RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER. He's
also breathed the life and soul into ABE SAPIEN in HELLBOY and HELLBOY
II THE GOLDEN ARMY.
In the Oscar winning film he wants to be
remembered for, Doug portrays 2 characters, that of both Pan and The Pale Man
in PAN'S LABYRINTH. Little trivia fact: He learned all his lines for the
film in Spanish while comparing it to a special script prepared for him in English!
Another fan favorite is the Halloween cult
classic, HOCUS POCUS, in which Doug plays a goofy zombie (ex-boyfriend of Bette
Midler’s character) BILLY BUTCHERSON a role he reprised in the upcoming
HOCUS POCUS II. And his earliest comic book movie appearance was alongside Danny De Vito as a
circus clown henchman in BATMAN RETURNS.Doug teamed up again with director
Guillermo del Toro to bring an original story to life in the Oscar winning film “The Shape of
Water”. Doug moves seamlessly from film to TV. He can currently be seen in “What
We Do In The Shadows”! Previous notable television work includes FALLING SKIES,
TEEN WOLF, FEAR ITSELF, THE NEIGHBORS, and the lead Gentleman on the
Emmy-nominated "Hush" episode of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER!
