The JONAH HEX movie is less than two months away. We’ve seen a poster for it, we’ve seen an official production photo, but we haven’t actually seen a trailer for it yet, have we? We don’t quite have a trailer, here, per se. It’s a clip of a commercial for the trailer (we live in a bold new era, don’t we?) This will eventually be running in front of the NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST. remake, evoking the inevitable Hex vs. Fredy battle threads.
As for this preview… it’s packed a lot of wildness into eleven seconds. There’s… big explosions! Hex shredding through rounds with dual gattling guns mounted on his horse! Hex getting medieval with a crossbow! Hex sizzling some bad guys 'til they're well-done with a flame thrower! There’s Megan Fox looking all sweaty and cross before ending some goon's sorry existence with a revolver! And there’s John Malkovich sporting more hair than he ever has before!
I’m still on the fence about the movie. The troubles its production’s been going through have gotten almost more attention than the movie itself. However, these fleeting glimpses look pretty good. And I’m still intrigued to hear what a Mastadon-written score will sound like, even if it’s a bit compromised.
