Details: "It’s a 1963 drama—it’s not a sci-fi [film], it’s not a genre film,
but I am a creature in it," Jones said. "I’m a fish man that’s kind
of a one-off. I’m an enigma, nobody knows where I came from; I’m the last of my
species so I’m like a natural anomaly. And I’m being studied and tested in a
U.S. government facility in 1963, so the Russian Cold War is on, the race for
space is on, so there’s all that backdrop and that undercurrent. I’m being
tested for how can they use me for advantages in military or space travel, or
my technology—can we make this usable for humans? So they’re trying to keep me
a secret from the Russians."
