When you’re Guillermo del Toro and you’re making a new film that features a fish-like man (a merman, basically), there’s really only one guy for the job: Doug Jones.
Though the official synopsis is intentionally somewhat vague, Jones has revealed a few details to help fill in the blanks.
It is artfully and beautifully [made]—if this doesn’t end up with Guillermo back at the Oscars, I will be surprised.
