‘Jonah Hex’ To Begin Reshoots This Month

January 17th, 2010

Director Jimmy Hayward’s adaptation of the classic DC Comics Western hero, “Jonah Hex” is going back before the cameras for additional material.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Jonah Hex” stars Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox and Michael Fassbender are being called back to film 12 new script pages in addition to some reshoots that are intended to enhance the story and action. The filming is scheduled to last ten days beginning at the end of January.

The report also cites rumors that the new scenes are intended to “fix certain problems with the movie” while also suggesting that the added budget is intended to help the film to compete with the other summer blockbuster films.

For the “Jonah Hex” reshoots, Hayward – who previously directed “Horton Hears a Who” – will be joined by “I Am Legend” director Francis Lawrence, who was hired last month as a consultant.

Back in 2008, Brolin told MTV News about his initial negative opinion of the “Jonah Hex” script prior to Hayward coming onboard the film.

“When I first read it I thought, oh my God it’s awful!” related Brolin. “And then I had a moment a week later and I thought ‘why is it awful? Maybe the thing to do is to do the most awful movie I can find.’”

“[I love] the absurdity of it,” continued Brolin. “It almost allows you to create a new genre. I love going back into the spaghetti western idea and completely turning it around.”

Jonah Hex is scheduled to be released on June 18, 2010.

“Jonah Hex” back in action for more filming

January 17th, 2010

Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox and Michael Fassbender will reunite later this month for about 10 days’ worth of filming in the Los Angeles area.

Although no test screenings have taken place, Warner Bros. has added 12 pages to the script and decided to re-shoot some scenes.

“Jonah Hex” is based on the DC Comics comic book, a Western featuring a scarred-faced bounty hunter. The movie centers on the gunslinger enlisted to track down a former Confederate general who is raising an army of the undead and bent on liberating the South.

Jimmy Hayward, who made his live-action debut with the movie, remains in the director’s chair. He will be joined by Francis Lawrence (“I Am Legend”), who was brought in last month to act as a consultant.

The movie originally was scheduled to open August 6, 2010, but was then moved up to June 18 — the middle of the summer tentpole season.

“Crank” filmmakers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, who wrote the “Hex” script, were initially on board to direct the movie but were dismissed because of creative differences with Brolin. The actor told MTV News at the time he thought the script was “awful” but fell in love with the challenge of

Brolin Revelled In Kissing Fox

December 12th, 2009

Josh Brolin made the most of his love scenes with sexy Megan Fox during filming for JONAH HEX, because he wanted to take “revenge” on his actress wife DIANE LANE for all of her steamy onscreen clinches.

The Milk actor plays disfigured bounty hunter Hex in the Western, a big screen adaptation of the popular comic books, with Fox – who is regularly named as one of the sexiest women in the world – as his love interest.

And he admits he revelled in the opportunity to make Lane envious because she has enjoyed romancing leading men like Richard Gere, Viggo Mortensen and French actor Olivier Martinez over the years.

He says, “I made out with Megan Fox, which was nice. Everybody says it’s very uncomfortable doing love scenes. My wife has done a few movies with a couple of love scenes, maybe this was maybe a revenge of mine, of some sort. If you look at it from that perspective, it’s kind of like the ultimate revenge.Megan Fox is the ultimate revenge, you hear what I’m saying?”

Brolin struggled to overcome the obstacle of heavy make-up to kiss Fox, but eventually managed to master his technique.
He adds, “The thing is for me, I had a prosthetic on my face because as Jonah Hex, the character, half of my face is burned, so it’s kind of difficult to figure out to get your tongue around (the mouthpiece). I’d love to say it was really, really tough but it went really smoothly.”

Josh Brolin Describes ‘Jonah Hex’ Brawls, Making Out With Megan Fox

December 10th, 2009

“Jonah Hex” star Josh Brolin dropped by “The Tonight Show” yesterday, and spilled some details about the upcoming big-screen debut of DC’s ex-confederate bounty hunter — including some thoughts on what John Malkovich brings to the lead villain role, and (we’re not making this up) what it’s like to make out with Megan Fox.

“This was another angry role that I thought John [Malkovich] could pull off,” said Brolin. “The studio had brought up a Gary Oldman or somebody else.”

Show host Conan O’Brien also got Brolin to open up about another important element of the film: his chemistry with “Jennifer’s Body” actress Megan Fox.

“Yes, I made out with Megan Fox, which was nice,” laughed Brolin. “The thing is, I had a prosthetic on my face and it was very tough for me because of the way Jonah Hex is and the way the character is, there’s kind of a rope-idermis halfway through my mouth and half of my face is burned, so it’s very tough to figure out and find a way to get your tongue through.”
