Doug Jones To Play Nosferatu!

Monster fans will be thrilled to learn that legendary creature actor, Doug Jones, will be playing the original vampire, Nosferatu! During Comikaze, the project’s creators hosted a panel talking about their project and Kickstarter campaign (Which is fully funded! Yay!). Jones, unfortunately, could not make it to the panel as he was filming in Vancouver, but he joined us briefly via Skype. With his long career portraying creatures/monsters, he has often been asked what role that he has not had a chance to play yet. He said he would ,”…love to play a classic vampire like Nosferatu.” Jones is no stranger to playing strange and unusual characters. During the Q&A, he was asked, “Was there anything particularly challenging about playing Nosferatu?” He replied that it is difficult when you take material that already has a huge fan base. Jones said he wants to be reverent to the original material but make it his own. This film will using a new technology where they can take the footage from the original and add new footage. They are calling it “Nosferatu – The Feature Film Remix”. Jones went on to say that he wants to make himself proud as an actor and to make the fans proud as well. As a fan of Doug Jones and monster movies, I cannot wait! Check out their Kickstarter campaign here to learn more about the film and spread the word!
