Additionally, Guillermo del Toro has once again teamed up with Hellboy veteran Doug Jones (who provided the physical performance for Abe Sapien) to bring the physicality of The Shape of Water’s creature to life.
In addition to the creative vision of del Toro and the strong word of mouth, The Shape of Water has also assembled a phenomenal cast of performers to bring its charming story to life.
In fact, this almost feels like a version of that ill-fated Abe Sapien spinoff movie, doesn’t it?
With Godzilla actress Sally Hawkins in the lead role, the film has enlisted the acting chops of Michael Shannon, Octavia Spencer, and Richard Jenkins to fill out its supporting cast.
