Doug Jones Being Honored With Special Award from the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild
Doug Jones is nothing short of a living legend in the creature performer arena, having notably played Amphibian Man in Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water as well as Abe Sapien in del Toro’s Hellboy movies, with other notable roles including Billy Butcherson in Hocus Pocus, Gentleman in the “Buffy” episode “Hush,” and Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth.
We’ve learned today (via THR) that Doug Jones is being honored this year for his many contributions to the entertainment industry, “named the recipient of the inaugural The Chair Award from the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild.” The awards ceremony will be taking place February 19, with Sonequa Martin-Green (“The Walking Dead”) presenting the award.
Sonequa Martin-Green currently stars on “Star Trek: Discovery” alongside Doug Jones.
Guild president Julie Socash said in a statement, “Talk to any number of the top make-up artists and hair stylists in our industry and they will tell you Doug Jones is a true pleasure to work and collaborate with. He is a talented, consummate professional with infinite patience while morphing into all his memorable characters. No one is more deserving of this honor and we wish him a heartfelt congratulations.”
One of Doug Jones’ next projects will see him play iconic classic vampire Nosferatu, and he’s also reprising the role of Billy Butcherson in the upcoming Hocus Pocus sequel.
Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.
THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”
You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.
The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.
More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
