These three quick interviews at Comic Con with About.com are pretty good.
First is Josh Brolin: He makes mention of the 3 incarnations of Jonah Hex with one looking like "a 70's porn star", no doubt a reference to the futuristic Hex book.
Next is Michael Fassbender: Interviewer Rebecca Murray asks if he drew any inspiration from the books. He doesn't (probably since his character, Burke, doesn't appear in any books) but makes mention of a bowler. The most prominant bowler wearer was Ned Landon.
Finally is Jimmy Hayward & Megan Fox: Hayward is revealing himself as a fan of the book and this bodes well for the movie. Megan? Well, I've never seen a film with her in it and every interview she is saying the same thing over & over & over & over again. Here, I'm not so impressed.
A weekly review of every appearance of Jonah Hex. We cover Weird Western Tales, Jonah Hex, HEX, the Vertigo minis, the new series by Palmiotti, talk about the Jonah Hex movie with Josh Brolin, old comic book ads, and other junk from my personal collection.
A lot of actors really hate wearing prosthetic makeup and the tracking/capturing equipment required for CGI "makeup" -- so it's really no surprise Brolin was on the fence about the movie for a while. Still, the more I hear, the more I'm getting excited about this movie!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have been told, Brolin couldn't eat, drink (even through a straw), or even smoke with the makeup on. He did eventually learn to not drool on himself during filming.
ReplyDeleteIf we're lucky this could be Megan's "look, I can actually act" role.
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I've ever seen anything with Megan Fox in it, but so far, I'm not particularly impressed.
ReplyDeleteThe not-drooling-on-himself thing is nice. I've always rather wondered how Jonah keeps from doing that himself.
