Special Guest Scheduled to Appear
Doug Jones: Of Monsters and Men, Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker Series
IU Cinema welcomes Indiana's own Doug Jones, one of the most versatile actors working in film and television today, for an intimate conversation and film screening.
Join us for a conversation with Doug Jones, one of the most versatile actors working today and the modern successor to classic screen icon Lon Chaney. The program will begin with an onstage conversation with Jones, followed by a screening of Hellboy II: The Golden Army, which features an acclaimed performance by Jones as Abe Sapien. After the film, Jones will return to the stage for a post-film chat and take questions from the audience. Note: your tickets to the conversation also includes viewing the film.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Guillermo del Toro's follow-up to his smash comic book adaptation, once again finds our (anti) hero, his pyrokinetic girlfriend, and aquatic empath (Doug Jones) facing their biggest battle when an underworld prince plans to reclaim Earth for his magical kindred. Only Hellboy and company can stop the dark prince and prevent humanity's annihilation. [120 min; action, fantasy; English]
"Del Toro is almost alone in his ability to re-create on screen the wide-eyed exhilaration and disturbing grotesqueness that is the legacy of reading comics on the page." — Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"As he has done in all his movies, from creature features [...] del Toro creates unforgettable images, filled with color, texture, lyricism and horror." — Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
"This has more heart and humour than most fantasy films can dream of. Hellaciously good." — Helen O'Hara, Empire
