You all may have heard of this “Jonah Hex” character, a gun-slinging wild west badass anti-hero created by writer John Albano and artist Tony DeZuniga back in the 1970s. Famous for his surly and cynical nature, Hex has always been on the top of a very short list of comic adaptations that many true comic fans would like to see hit the big screen. In fact, Warner Bros. and DC Comics put the adaptation in the hands of producer Akiva Goldsman (Constantine, I Am Legend) and Crank creative team Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor in July of last year, and as they told our friends at Collider in March of ‘08, they intend on getting right down to it once they are finished with Crank 2, which is scheduled to hit theaters on April 17, 2009.
That said, here we go with the photo exclusive… For those of you who haven’t yet skipped ahead. As you may know if you’ve been following the development of Jonah Hex, no real casting announcements have been made as of yet. We are now suspicious, however, as our team in the field has sent over what appears to be either a piece of concept art or an early production test photo of Thomas Jane as Jonah Hex.
As for the photo’s origins, we can’t confirm yet that Jane is attached to the project, as we didn’t really receive this in an official manner. We are, however, actively trying to get in touch with Jane’s people and the folks at Warner Bros. to try and confirm whether or not this did in fact come from the production.
Looks like another wild wild west shit...
Usually comic book movie trailers are the most fun to watch, but this was just... Meh.
Are those awful one liners by Jonah Hex and Megan Fox (whose acting skills reached their peak in Transformers 2), is they best they can show us?
And with Neveldine and Taylor as screenwriters who managed to awfully disappoint me in "Gamer", I just can't be optimistic...
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
