Thomas Jane as Jonah Hex

http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/...mp/temp542.jpg

Turns out the picture isn't a fake after all.

Quote:

Jane got word that a shot of him as Jonah Hex has been passed around the internet and contacted FilmSchoolRejects to explain the picture's origin.

"Yeah, the pic is real all right – my pal Akiva Goldsman told me about the project and I fell in love with the idea right away," explained Jane. "Being a huge fan of all things Hex – I just couldn't help myself. I called up my buddy Chris Nelson and we spent a Saturday afternoon working up some make-up for this impromptu shoot and I fired a few pics off to Warners. How do people get a hold of this sh*t? It's a little embarrassing seeing my fanboy enthusiasm spilled all over the web, but great scripts don't come around too often, especially for characters I love."

So there you have it. Jane is a huge fan of the comic and took initiative to show that he's the right man for the job.

That's really cool of him to do.

This guy really does love comics. Its a shame they shafted him on Punisher, but he's been doing amazing work.

I wouldn't call The Mist "amazing".:P

In comparison to the work hed be doing otherwise....you know....nothing...

I've only read one Jonah Hex comic book but I loved the episode with him on Batman: TAS. Plus Jane is one of my favorite actors, so I'm sure this'll be good.

Hmm.. I might just watch this... 2008 - 2011 = the years of the comic book movies.

And since Thomas is such a fan then Im sure he'll do everything he can to make sure this film is done perfectly.

But considering the character's history it'll probably end up being like one of those made for tv "historical" films where the lead characters seemingly end up meeting tons of historical folks cuz this is what seems to happen to Jonas in the comic (he's responsable for killing Stonewall Jackson). He even showed up in the 12 part series "The Kents" *lol*

And the way Jonah died was VERY similar to Wild Bill Hickock. Shot and killed while playing cards.

Wow, you really suck with spoilers, don't you? I'm about ready to take advantage of the ignore feature finally.

It's being directed by a German director, and a good one at that. The work from her I've seen was European and I think she wanted to take The Punisher into a bit of a different direction. In doing this she has a cast people I assume she believes fits how she views the Punisher better. I guess in her mind The Punisher isn't portrayed by Jane.

I think he did a good job so we will see how this new guy Ray does. I'm actually interested in the project simply because she's working on it. She knows how to film action scenes well and two of the writers worked on Iron Man.
