That's awesome!

I'm really rooting for this movie still. John Malcavoch's action figure looks awesome.

Sorry, no hi-res

 

[jondoe]

Sorry, no hi-res

it's ok. i'm sure a hi-res will turn up eventually.

 

[Webhead2006]

When are we gonna see a trailer? This movie is coming out in four months and I'm sure the WB wants to promote it. Especially when it's opening alongside Toy Story 3.

 

[Webhead2006]

maybe some time in march?

If Warners attaches a trailer to one of their own films, and a film that would play to a roughly comparable audience as Jonah Hex, they have Cop Out coming out this weekend and Clash of the Titans in early April. Maybe there'll be a trailer attached to one of those. They also have The Losers in late April, but that's a little late for the appearance of a Jonah Hex trailer.

 

[Webhead2006]

totally or like losers maybe it gets moved to a slightly later date? there is still time for trailer.

^Anyone else getting a bit worried? Its like WB have no faith in this movie at all to not have a trailer out yet!

 

[cerealkiller182]

No, I dont get worried. Millions of reasons could be why they havent prepped a trailer. There is a lot of technical, financial, and management-oriented obstacles to overcome.

I would think the less faith WB has the more marketing they would have to do anyways.

 

[Webhead2006]

totally and being a lower risk character they probably not going to do many trailers for it. probably just one and some tv spots and all that. i am sure we will get trailer by end of the month. Film isnt going to be out to what june?

I'm a tiny bit worried, only because of the 'consultant' director brought in for the extra/re-shoots, but I'm hoping it's a conscious decision on Warner's part to just release one trailer/a couple of TV spots cut from the trailer and very little info as a sort of 'less is more' approach. Look at Kick-Ass for an example of the exact opposite with multiple trailers/featurettes/images/screenings etc... It comes out next month and it almost feels like I've already seen it, which makes me much less likely to want to see it in the theater.

After all, the footage they showed at comic-con got an overwhelmingly positive response, but it was like the only footage that never leaked to the tubes. The way I see it, it's kind of unnecessary to release a trailer now, as the fans of the comic are well aware the movie is coming, and the general public isn't really going to get interested until the TV spots start showing up a few weeks before it opens. Maybe that's just the optimist in me though... (please let it be good)

After reading the early draft of the script that was floating around, I think it'd be pretty hard to screw it up, (just cut out some of the dick/fart gags) even if they had to alter it to make it pg-13. And honestly, imagining all of Turnbull's dialogue performed by Malkovich was completely awesome and he could single-handedly redeem the movie if the rest is sub-par.

 

[Octoberist]

I think the trailer was suppose to come out with 'Clash' but that movie was delayed.

also, The Losers had a 'late' trailer too and that is coming up in April.

 

[Webhead2006]

well hopefully we have a trailer soon. when does the film come out again?

june 18.

I'm really looking forward to this. Brolin and Malkovich are two actors that have proven themselves already and believe it or not Fox can act a little.

You can't judge her performances in Transformers as the script was beyond awful for her in both films(more so in TF2) but she was actually pretty decent in Jennifer's Body.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea so its june we got 4 months there is plently of time for 1 trailer and then a series of tv spots to be out between now and release.

I was almost going to post this in the 'unpopular movie opinions' thread, but... I mean, I'd imagine it would be pretty difficult to give your best performance when the only direction you have is 'arch your back more.' and 'Let's do that again, but poutier this time.'... Personally, I think she usually has pretty great (if inconsistent (her weakness)) delivery, she puts emphasis on the words/syllables that I think should be emphasized, and never really sounds like she's just reading from a script/card. And her character in Jennifer's Body could have been very one dimensional, but she actually turned in a pretty layered performance.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that Megan Fox is (probably) not going to 'ruin' the movie.

 

[Spidey-Quad]

New here, I only have slim grasp on Hex. Will this be an Outlaw movie much like Josey Wales? The confederate garb has me wondering. Also will there be a "supernatural" tilt to it? I appoligize if these are redundant questions.

 

[Octoberist]

it's more like..a stylized western. i've read the script and it does have 'supernatural' elements in there...

Composer Marco Beltrami (Hellboy, 310 to Yuma) has replaced John Powell as composer for Jonah Hex:
