Jonah Hex Poster: Josh Brolin and Megan Fox
Yahoo! Movies has released the new poster for “Jonah Hex,” the DC Comics adaptation starring Josh Brolin, Megan Fox, and John Malkovich.
The DC Comics adaptation revolves around a bounty hunter, an American Civil War veteran with scars covering the right side of his face, who attempts to stop a Southern plantation owner from raising an army of the undead. The movie will be a sort of sci-fi western, even though the comic book is not sci-fi at all.
Jonah Hex first appeared in the early 1970s in the issues of “All-Star Western” before graduating to his own series in 1977 that ran for about 10 years. A new series was launched in 2005. The character also had a run in the 1990s that combined the Western genre with supernatural elements.
Directed by Jimmy Hayward (Horton Hears a Who!), the graphic novel adaptation also stars Michael Fassbender, Michael Shannon and Will Arnett.
“Jonah Hex” is scheduled to hit theaters on August 6th, 2010.

John Malkovich Joins Jonah Hex
John Malkovich has joined the cast of Jonah Hex, the Warner Bros adaptation of the DC Comics property. Malkovich will star alongside of Josh Brolin.
Being a “non-superhero”, Jonah did not have a “Rogues gallery” comparable to Superman or The Flash, though he had a few adversaries who returned from time to time. The first and most notable of these to date was Quentin Turnbull, known at first as simply the man with the eagle-topped cane.
Turnbull was the father of Hex’s best friend, Jeb Turnbull. During the American Civil War, Jonah actually surrendered himself to the Union forces after the passage of the Emancipation Proclamation, but refused to betray where his fellow soldiers were camped. A Union soldier was able to determine the location of that camp by examining the dirt in the hooves of Jonah’s horse. The Union soldiers captured all of Jonah’s fellow soldiers and then later massacred most of them, framing Jonah as a turncoat. Turnbull’s son was one of those slaughtered and Turnbull vowed his vengeance upon Jonah.
