Ohhh, wow!!! I am sooooo excited about this. I don’t know much about the Jonah Hex comic series but from what I’ve read it’s basically a western storyline in the vein of the Clint Eastwood, man with no name, movies. Jonah is a former Confederate soldier who roams the west exacting revenge upon those who would wrong the downtrodden. He was raised as a slave by Apache indians. His face is horribly scarred on one side. Essentially, he’s a classic anti-hero – my favorite kind of hero.
And the cast!!! Josh Brolin as Jonah, Megan Fox as the love interest (think what you will of her but – I’m sorry – she’s beautiful and legitimately interesting) and John Malkovich (I’m not linking to him, you should know who he is. And if you don’t… shame on you) as the villain. Also, Michael Fassbender as Burke, the villain’s henchman. And did I mention the best part? MASTODON ON THE SOUNDTRACK!!! (There should be something bigger than capital letters to express how excited I am about this.)
I don’t know what to expect here (the director, Jimmy Hayward, has a great resume – if you’re thinking of animating a children’s movie.) but this film is starting with all the right building blocks. Let’s hope Jimmy and the gang can bring it home. Fingers crossed!!!
