Doug Jones Was Offered a Cameo Appearance in Neil Marshall’s ‘Hellboy’ Reboot

Published

As far as we’ve seen/heard, Abe Sapien will *not* be appearing in Neil Marshall‘s upcoming Hellboy, the character of course memorably played by Doug Jones in Guillermo del Toro’s two movies. But, for what it’s worth, Jones reveals in a new chat with THR this week that he *was* offered the chance to make a cameo appearance in Marshall’s film.

There was a chance that a cameo might have happened, but not as things progressed,” Jones told the site. “Reboot means recasting, and I’m told this first reboot does not have anybody in it from the original film. I received an offer to do a cameo, but I was deeply immersed in Star Trek: Discovery when that offer came in, so I couldn’t do it.

It’s unclear if Jones was offered to cameo as Abe Sapien or as another character, but we can only assume the new franchise will at some point introduce a new Sapien entirely.

David Harbour is Hellboy in the new film, which also features Milla Jovovich as Nimue, the film’s villain; Ian McShane as Professor Broom; Daniel Dae Kim as Major Ben Daimio; Penelope Mitchell as Ganeida; and Sasha Lane as Alice Monaghan.

Sophie Okonedo, Brian Gleeson and Alistair Petrie also star.

The new story sees the hero squaring off against a medieval sorceress who seeks to destroy humankind.

Aron Coleite worked on the latest draft of a script by Andrew Cosby, Christopher Golden and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. Larry Gordon and Lloyd Levin and Mike Richardson are the producers. Hellboy is being exec produced by Christa Campbell, Lati Grobman, and Carl Hampe.

Hellboy returns on April 12, 2019.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights.
