Jonah Hex rides again!
The first photos of
Josh Brolin in costume
as Jonah Hex have
found their way online,
Liam reports June 3rd
for Empire Movies.
The movie stars Brolin
as the title character,
a rough-and-tumble
gunslinger and part-time
bounty hunter who
is known for having the
right side of his face
disfigured and for
wearing a Confederate
army uniform.
The character first
appeared in the early
1970s and graduated
to his own series
in 1977
that ran for about
10 years.
A new series was
launched in 2005.
The movie also
stars Megan Fox.
Jonah Hex was born to a
brutal drunkard and his
long-suffering wife.
A series of miseries began
in Hex’s life when after
his mother left,
his father took the boy
west during the California
gold rush and sold him
as a slave to an Apache
chief in exchange
for animal pelts.
Hex would later go on to
be betrayed by the Apache
chief’s son,
shot by bounty hunters,
join the Confederate Army
only to be imprisoned and
finally return to his Apache
tribe to be disfigured after
a trial of combat with
the chief’s son.
Although constantly betrayed
and grossly disfigured Hex
persevered in fighting against
crime by using his skills to
become one of the old west
greatest bounty hunters.
