Megan Fox Joins Jonah Hex

[Chewy]

Fox get's a bad rap. I mean their not the only ones to make mistakes... Catwoman anyone?

That being said I think it seems a little strange to have oscar winners with a newcommer like Fox that has yet to prove herself (maybe in Jennifers Body?). With Fathom she seems like she was perfectly cast.

Neither Malkovich nor Brolin has won an Oscar

The glasses are sexy!

Jaymes, you should link that vid of her talking about it again.

For the record I've seen her in Star Wars shirt, a Batman shirt, and a Wonder Woman belt.

Yo Zenith this is WB we are talking about here, not Fox.

lol and you lost me man. the only fox i know i was sure I was talking about was megan. and I was dissing the executive onJ hex that has mid life crisis issues any way. and I stated the other casting was fine. I wasn't talking about the studio. but what evers. any way later man.

It's not closeted at all. She freely admittes it every chance she gets. Her favs are Fathom (ironic), Gen 13, Witchblade, and X-Men

naughty thought

Spoiler

I wonder if she role plays during sex like that episode on Family guy were Lois trys to seduce Neal (the comic nerd) and dresses up like Mystique.

I think Fox lobbied hard for a part in Fathom, I guess the producers liked her audition and cast her in the part.

Spoiler

As for the role-play thing, I heard Halle Berry likes role-playing as Storm whenever she has sex, so I guess anything can happen.

 

[GL's Light]

The producer who controls the rights to Fathom went to Megan Fox some time ago and got her involved in the project. She's not just starring in it, she's also helping to develop it and is expected to take a producing credit. Brian Austin Green is also on board as a producer (although Fox and Green have now split up, so how involved he'll still be is uncertain).

 

[Dark Knight]

Surprised the director and producers would go with a sh**ty actress like Fox to pair up with good actors like Brolin and Malkovich.

They should have went after Rachel McAdams or Michelle Monaghan at least before settling on a crappy skank actress like Fox? LOL

 

[jaymes_e06]

^Umm... Harsh much?

 

[The Guard]

Once again.

The role is for that of a world wearied ****e. It isn't rocket science.

She'll do fine.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yea Josh Brolin is one of my favourite actors right about now.

He was great in those 2 movies, heard he was good in American Gangster also, but havent seen that yet.

Yes he was good there as well as a corrupt cop.

Jimmy Palmiotti confirms it:

First thing first…I want to talk about the JONAH HEX film. I do know something about the behind the scenes of it all because, as I mentioned before, one of the producers, Andy Lazar, is actually an old friend of mine. Because of this, I actually get information on a regular basis that is filled with facts. First thing I want to clear up is this quote from the Hollywood Reporter.

“[Megan] Fox is in final negotiations to star opposite Josh Brolin and John Malkovich in ‘Jonah Hex,’ Warner Bros.’ action Western based on the DC Comics character. She also is attached to star and develop ‘Fathom,’ Fox Atomic’s comic book-based underwater adventure.

In “Hex,” being directed by Jimmy Hayward, Fox will play Leila, a gun-wielding beauty and love interest of Hex (Brolin), a scarred bounty hunter tracking a voodoo practitioner (Malkovich) who wants to raise an army of undead to liberate the South.”

OK, first thing we all know is that the cool dudes at Aspen Comics publish FATHOM , not Fox Atomic. And yes, we do know that Fox is going to make the film. Minor thing. Second, what I do know for sure is the casting of MEGAN FOX. This is true, she will be in the Hex movie and that along with the addition of John Malkovich playing Turnbull, well, it’s a pretty awesome thing. I can’t say enough how happy I am with the choices being made on this feature. So far, from producers to actors and now director, Justin and I couldn’t be happier. I think this will be a film we get to see Megan really break out as an actress.

What isn’t true and will probably make the fans of the character lose their lunch is the “voodoo practitioner raising an army of the undead” part. Not true on any level, so stop worrying. Really… you can all relax now.

AGAIN… there is no voodoo dude raising the dead to liberate the South kind of silliness going on at all in this film. I really wanted to clear this up because I spent the last few days at MegaCon being asked a million questions about the Hex movie and throwing this out in my column is a lot easier than losing my voice.

Anyway, stay tuned for more developments on the Hex front and go out today and pick up the second part of the Sawbones storyline illustrated beautifully by David Michael Beck.

He's also in GOONIES!!!!!!t:

He really doesn't talk about the movie at all though.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

He really doesn't talk about the movie at all though.

Or Into The Blue.

 

[GL's Light]

He really doesn't talk about the movie at all though.

He participated in the commentary track for the special edition DVD release some eight years ago, and he was obviously perfectly happy to be there. I doubt he feels any differently now.
