First Look Josh Brolin as Jonah Hex

[GreenScar]

I'm really excited for this movie (although I've never read the DC comic it's based on)

Anyone else excited for this?

These photos come from Lainey Gossip, a blog about all things Diane Lane (who would've guessed?). The story in this movie will follow Jonah Hex, as seen above, a disfigured bounty hunter who tracks a voodoo practitioner that wants to raise an army of the undead to liberate the South. Former Pixar animator Jimmy Hayward, who is a big fan of both comics and westerns, is directing. I think this looks great so far, it's easily one of my most anticipated upcoming movies of next year, mainly because I'm excited to see the western and comic book movie genres come together. Plus, Brolin looks like he'll be kicking some ass.

im interested in seeing what they do with it but i think they could have done more with the make up.

I'm pretty sure they'll do some digital touch-up.

He's a great actor. I thought it was brilliant in W. I'll be seeing this when it comes out.

I'm loving Brolin's output these last couple years, I'm so stoked he is back in the mainstream. His work in No Country, American Gangster, Milk, W., and Planet Terror were all fantastic. I'm not betting against him in this one at all. Can't wait!

It looks like they have toned down the facial disfigurement a little for the movie. The comics have really played that up over the last 20 years or so. This is a movie that will sink or swim based on the quality of the script.

Yeah, if they play it up too much, it'd scream "fake". Looks like they hit a good middle ground of showing that he's disfigured without making his face look totally messed up.
