Jonah Hex: Re-boot or TV show?

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think its fair to say the JH movie of 2010 was a disgrace, it was awful and as someone who has read the JH comics by Jimmy Palmiotti, the potential was wasted.

With DC turning over a new leaf do you think there is a chance for the character to come back to our screens in some form? I certainly hope, the character deserves more justice than the 2010 movie. I watched the 10 min animated short recently and that was more Jonah Hex than the entire 2010 movie.

So what would people like to see if JH gets another chance, a re-boot or a TV series? I personally would be happy with either. A re-boot done like Dredd was in 2012 (as in gritty and violent rather than set in the future ha ha) would be perfect IMO, it could really show what the character really is about and wash away the stench of the previous movie.

Or an HBO series could be great, they wouldnt need a huge budget and it could still be really violent like the comics.

Either way I hope Tom Jane gets his shot to play him this time as well.

The cast of 2010 movie was not that bad, the awful story and direction ruined the movie.

Now, a TV series would be a good idea, as the character's stories could be done on a smaller budget, as he does not require CGI effects and the stories are grounded.

Oh, and they should adapt Palmiotti's work in comics.

^Yeah the cast was really good, it even had Michael Shannon in it for 10 seconds! Shame the rest turned out so poorly.

And yeah Palmiotti's run as a TV series would be amazing.

Oh, absolutely a TV series. I certainly wouldn't mind Thomas Jane finally get the part since he had that photo of himself worked up as Hex. It's always nice when the actor is a fan of the source material.

Didn't Thomas Jane voice the animated short -Jonah Hex ?

Only one he did was DC Showcase: Jonah Hex.

Yeah I would be happy with another movie or TV series, but the latter may be the best way to go, especially as the previous movie may turn people off of a new one.

But yeah, Tom Jane as Jonah Hex has to happen now, also would love to see Talulah Black appearing, the comics version, NOT the Megan Fox character from the movie.

Just have him show up on ARROW. Problem solved.

An AMC or HBO show. Tom Jane as Jonah Hex, Joel McHale as Bat Lash.
