Hellboy: Interview with Abe Sapien

Quote:

HELLBOY's Abe Sapien goes on the record
Actor talks about requirements for playing the film's fishhead

CountingDown's David Server has just conducted an extensive interview with HELLBOY co-star Doug Jones, the actor who plays the movie's merman, Abe Sapien. Server's interview with Jones is the web's first detailed question and answer session with the actor and as such he gets all kinds of info about what it's been like to wear the elaborate bodysuit, work with John Hurt and how he prepared for the part of Abe...

"I have four goldfish in a tank, and I watched 'em," explains Jones. "I just watched 'em! And seeing how their heads would dart, same with their eyes...but then the rest of their body flows fluidly behind that jerky head. So that's kind of how I handled Abe. His head was more poppy jerk movements, but then the rest of him flowed fluidly behind."

LOL.... whats that? a human fish? .... sorry to say this movie already starts to look too chessy

Woah!! Thats great detail in the development! Sounds like the creators have dedication. Now thats class. Other directors should learn this.

No idea about the background story of this comic but its been in production a long time and the crew is spending alot of time to detail. Thumbs up!!! Good work

I agree, it sounds like Hellboy is really trying to capture the feel/mood of the comic, while still making the film stand on its own.

I think this could be a quality movie. We'll see
