The Merman in Guillermo del Toro's New Movie Will Have Sex
If you've ever wondered how merpeople bone, you're finally going to find out.
Guillermo del Toro's upcoming film, The Shape of Water, is a new take on the merperson/human romance trope, this time featuring a merman/fish creature (Doug Jones) held in a government facility falling in love with a nice mute lady (Sally Hawkins) who brings him eggs.
Jones recently revealed that not only will he appear fully nude--as in full frontal--in the film, but audiences will see him have trans-species sex with his co-star.
Jones told The Hollywood Reporter:
When I asked [del Toro] why this time does it need to involved full-frontal nudity--I mean, we're going for it!--and he harkened back to the Creature from the Black Lagoon and Frankenstein and any of the classic monster movies that helped develop his love of monsters.
There was always a romantic side to these characters and relationships on film that never got actualized all the way. Guillermo said this time, the monster's going to actually fuck the girl. A gentler way to say it is that this is the creature from the wet, black lagoon who actually gets the girl this time.
Rejoice, gays, because you're going to have a fully naked fish man to drool over when The Shape of Water is released December 8.
