❝ ‘Bring in Charlie.’ This is a del Toro wheeze; his creature is never given a name in the final film—merely ‘the asset'—but Jones’s character is called ‘Charlie’ on the call-sheet by reference to the StarKist mascot Charlie the Tuna. ‘We wanted to play the ad on TV,’ he says, ‘but StarKist didn’t want to have anything to do with a movie like this. The nickname stayed.’ ❞
