Reshoots and Recognition

A few weeks ago, it was reported that the film, Jonah Hex, was going to be back doing reshoots.  Not sure what brought that up, but it was reported to be happening.

So then word has come out that early in 2010 reshoots will be taking place, seemingly as Cinematical reports here to create some whole new flashback scenes and also other newly created material set in the time of the story. Source. 

Yesterday, it was reported that Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox and Michael Fassbender would be included in a schedule of reshoots at the end of the month.  The original film location was in New Orleans, but the reshoots will be filmed in L.A.

Let's revisit that picture of Michael as Burke in "Jonah Hex", and those tattoos:

Some have called the idea of reshoots a bad thing for the movie because it shows that there could be a problem with the movie.  From the Jonah Hex panel at Comic-con last summer, it had sound like both Michael and Megan didn't have a lot of scenes, so fans should be happy if either one of them are in more scenes.  Maybe they'll have some on-the-set photos available...would be nice.  A trailer out soon would also be a nice touch.  It could help all the bad press.  Just sayin' guys.  

The reshoots come just in time to be in town for the awards' season.  Michael is included in the best ensemble awards for Inglourious Basterds for the Golden Globes airing Jan. 17, 2010.

Michael has been nominated with various awards for his work in Fish Tank.  On the other side of the pond, two more award group have put up their nominations:

Irish Film and Television-Best Supporting Actor
London's Critics' Circle-Best Supporting Actor

Good luck to Michael and all nominees!
