The project, directed by William Conlin and produced by Derek Maki, aims to chronicle Jones’ journey from his early days in the American Midwest to becoming one of Hollywood’s most celebrated performers in the realm of creature and alien portrayals. The documentary, which began filming last year, seeks to highlight Jones’ extensive career spanning decades, including roles in television and film projects such as Mac Tonight, Batman Returns, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hellboy I & II, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, Star Trek: Discovery, What We Do in the Shadows, Pan’s Labyrinth, and The Shape of Water.
