![]() ![]() ![]() The world of TV is a brutal one nowadays, so here’s to hoping Discovery can really step its game up and become the success the Star Trek franchise deserves. Marvel fans can get a stunning new look at how Silver Surfer came to life in 2007s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer thanks to Doug Jones, the actor who played the herald of Galactus. If a strong, loyal group of fans doesn’t get behind the television series, it could wind up being canceled before its writers even get a chance to tell a decent-sized portion of their planned story. Of course there’s always the chance that those against this decision and all of the changes to the franchise could help see the show fall flat on its face. It’s certainly a step forward, with the decision to make Sulu a gay character in Star Trek Beyond causing some controversy and original Sulu actor - the openly gay George Takei - even taking issue with it, saying it made a change to Sulu’s history. Even Serkis as Gollum is a scene-stealer.Whether or not core fans and loyalists to the franchise will be happy with seeing a gay character in the show still remains to be seen, but this looks to be a move by those behind the series to bring a more inclusive and diverse roster of characters to viewers. Their characters are engaging and sympathetic. Oftentimes their characters do not have many lines, so they are required to convey emotion completely through their physical work, and they rarely let the audiences down. Ahead of this week’s release of Star Trek: Discovery season three on Blu-ray and DVD, we were able to sit down with Doug Jones, the versatile actor who plays Saru, and take his temperature about. Serkis and Jones both turn in fantastic performances that show that they’re in immense control of their physicality as actors. Even Josh Brolin scored some praise for playing Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, and was considered a possible Oscar long shot.Īnd yet, these actors remain unrewarded, though Brolin is an Oscar nominee for Milk so he’s going to not be the focus of this conversation. Quin es el actor que est bajo las figuras ms estrafalarias concebidas por el mexicano Globos de Oro: quin es Doug Jones, el 'monstruo fetiche' de Guillermo del Toro convertido en. Serkis received raves for his turn as Gollum, and even more praise for his work in the latest Planet of the Apes trilogy. Another staple of genre film, actors like Andy Serkis consistently deliver powerful turns as CGI characters, oftentimes out-acting their human counterparts. Similarly, CGI performance still go completely unrecognized by the Academy. And yet, no one considered him an Oscar frontrunner even as The Shape of Water began an awards season sweep. Jones’s work is romantic and almost like a ballet as he delivers a powerful, wordless performance that makes you fall in love with his Amphibian Man as well. It’s worth noting that while Darkest Hour and Oldman’s turn as Churchill are now not really talked about, people are still thinking about The Shape of Water. It’s categorized in a different place in the mind, I think, but I would love to see that bridge gapped at some point.” I think what they just haven’t embraced all the way yet has been monsters and creatures from another world. Jones says that “those were human roles, and the Academy understands age makeups and alteration makeups for humans. ![]() So I would love to see that recognized in the acting categories.”Ĭonsidering that Gary Oldman won (alongside the hair and makeup team) for transforming himself into Winston Churchill last year, and Christian Bale and his hair and makeup team could take home gold at tomorrow’s ceremony for Vice, this seems somewhat hypocritical. That’s the only difference.” He added that “I still have to affect a posture, a voice, a storyline for an arc for that character like any other actor would do. Our characters happen to look way different is all. We are all taking on a character that is not us. ![]() It seems like people like to categorize in their mind, ‘Well, that’s not the same thing.’ I’m here to tell you that it really is the same thing. In Jones’s mind, this is because “the guys and the ladies under rubber bits are just often not thought of. In a recent interview with IndieWire, actor Doug Jones, who breaks hearts as Saru on Star Trek Discovery and as the Amphibian Man in The Shape of Water, talked about the Academy and their reticence to award actors who’s work trends towards the monstrous or fantastical if they’re buried under layers of makeup and prosthetics, even if they’ll award those who use makeup in biopics. Late in the 9 o’clock hour on Election Night, at a sprawling outdoor patio in downtown Birmingham, a pall fell over the watch party for Doug Jones’s Senate campaign as it became clear their. We’ve talked a lot about how the Oscars need to change, but here’s one final “fix this for next year please” post.
