Bring on Jonah!

There has been so much news and information lately, it's strange to have a break, especially when the pinnacle of it all, was the SAG win last weekend.

This week, "Jonah Hex" heads for reshoots.  Although there really isn't any information out yet about the main characters in the film, concerning the reshoots, there's been a little bit of buzz on Twitter by extras:

We can safely assume that reshoots have started in L.A. and will go on for about 10 days, according to reports.  You can't go wrong with Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Michael Shannon, Will Arnett, Megan Fox, and of course, Michael Fassbender.

You have to wonder if celebs feel this excited about working on a film, as much as the extras do---or the fans, for that matter.

As fans, we'd really like to see a new photo or two, or some other kind of visual, news, or something other than the film is in reshoots.  We need something to make our mouths water and renew our excitement.  We'd even be willing to sit through the Superbowl or the Olympics for a great trailer.

While the wait is inevitable, why don't you get to know Jonah Hex in it's comic book form, if you haven't already.  Having a background in Hex history can enhance the enjoyment of the movie.  Go to Panel Patter to read about the latest issue, or head over to your favorite book store or comic store and ask for Jonah Hex.

Check out Jimmy Palmiotti's blog, one of the writers of Jonah Hex, or follow him on Twitter.   

Also, you can check out the original screen writers' site, Neveldine and Taylor, to see some of the storyboards from "Jonah Hex".  At least the story boards give the audience something to look forward to, until the studios release something.

A "Jonah Hex" movie site has been made although there's really nothing on it yet.  Look for updates in the following months.  You can follow the Jonah Hex Facebook page, too.

With the comic book genre, 'action figures' are more proned to appear.  We'd go for a great Josh Brolin version of Jonah, and a good Malkovich figure of Turnbull; even a Megan Fox version of Leila-although that could be a little much.  We'd be more happy with a Burke figure, since Michael got shot out of the 300 figures...c'mon, how could you not make figures of Delios, Astinos, Stelios and the Captain?   They were very important to the story, as much or more than the disfigured Spartan.

Getting a bit off topic...

Back to Jonah.  Let's hope that sooner than later, fans of the comic and of the film will get something to sink their teeth into.  And for a future wish, we are crossing our fingers that WB will bring a Jonah Hex panel to Wondercon in San Francisco in April.  It will be perfect timing to push the movie right before the summer.  Whether or not they do, we know at least the comic book will be there.
