First Images Of Josh Brolin As "Jonah Hex"

2 shots of the "No Country For Old Men" star looking scarred up and Cowboy cool!
These shots were snapped on the New Orleans set of "Jonah Hex". Thanks to AICN for the scoop.





He doesnt look as hideously disfigured as he does in the comic, but i guess its enough to get the point across..

Cool. At least they got his look right. Let's hope they don't screw up his character.

His face should be worse especially with the eye......COME ON!!!!!!!
DeathWalker - 6/3/2009, 8:12 AM
Im not familiar with this at all..What's it about?
spideysweb - 6/3/2009, 8:16 AM
well,it's not so bad.
rockingrich1webb - 6/3/2009, 8:17 AM
Friggin' COOL!!! This is gonna be one hell of a movie!!!

WARNERS!!! :Thumbs
LEEE777 - 6/3/2009, 8:17 AM
could be CGI involved later too - you never know.

but if this is it i'm not too surprised either - Brolin is kind of recognizable you'd want to keep down the hideous disfigurement a little. regardless his face isn't as hideous as Megan Fox's 3 inch waist in that corset - i hope her internal organs are failing - the one in her skull seems to be gone anyways.
Keven - 6/3/2009, 8:18 AM
His eye though, should be abit more F'ed up!!!

Ya right @ DeathWalker @
LEEE777 - 6/3/2009, 8:19 AM
Lame.
Shaman - 6/3/2009, 8:22 AM
Yeah I agree his face is all wrong I hope these are flashback shots before he was disfigured or something to that nature.
LastSon1027 - 6/3/2009, 8:24 AM
They probably dont want to disfigure him too much incase people unaware of the character think he's just a total rip-off of 2 Face.
TheAnswer - 6/3/2009, 8:31 AM
Woh! That looks totally weird. I cant wait.

I've read some script reviews recently, this got an A. Voltron got an A+. I should post them. Thanks Ror!
Betty - 6/3/2009, 8:40 AM
Betty...They are making a Voltron movie??? Wicked..
spideysweb - 6/3/2009, 8:45 AM
ugh CGI is putting make up artists out of work.
Smolo - 6/3/2009, 8:56 AM
well maybe the eye will be CGI...oh well. If you look at the 2 pics again his expressions in the face looks the exactley the same. Like they took his head off in one pic and placed it in the other. Just thought that was weird looking.
DeathWalker - 6/3/2009, 9:02 AM
I'm so glad we finaly get this movie, I freakin love Jonah Hex. Brolin will be awesome.
THEHAWK - 6/3/2009, 9:03 AM
YEAH THE EYE IS HIS SIGNATURE THING, THE EYE HAS TO BE OUT THERE, LIKE TWO FACE IN DARKNIGHT...ITS COOL EXCEPT FOR THE EYE.
GUNSMITH - 6/3/2009, 9:05 AM
The eye will probably be cgi
THEHAWK - 6/3/2009, 9:11 AM
Lowered Expectations
shibazz - 6/3/2009, 9:12 AM
Whoa! that second pic he has got some serious Camel toe goin on! You go Brolin! Shoot, his crotch looks like Snake eyes lips!
shibazz - 6/3/2009, 9:14 AM
Is your crotch hungry girl? Cause it's eating your pants!
Betty - 6/3/2009, 9:20 AM
A disfigured cowboy with a camel toe... Lowered Expectations indeed.

Betty- Vagina Dentata ;P
Shaman - 6/3/2009, 9:20 AM
he looks nothing like the comic book
Marvel Rules - 6/3/2009, 9:37 AM
I guess he looks alright.
Bandrews1 - 6/3/2009, 9:55 AM
I wouldn't have minded a Two-Face TDK thing for Hex's face. Oh well, I'll still check this movie out! :)
SpiderMan209 - 6/3/2009, 9:55 AM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally news I care about, looks good so far, hope it turns out to be great.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yohon Kalic - 6/3/2009, 10:05 AM
Yeah they will probably CG more later. Thats how it started with Dark Knight, isn't it?
InstigatorGIRL - 6/3/2009, 10:18 AM
not bad
TheUnknown - 6/3/2009, 11:16 AM
They'll probably do CG to ramp it up, but I hope they don't go as far as they did with two-face in DK, that was a bit over the top, broke the believability factor for me, it looked like he shouldn't have been able to function at all, he was so messed up.
mwmcintyre - 6/3/2009, 11:44 AM
@InstigatorGirl---That's what I'm hoping they'll do! Just how they did Two-Face's effects.

I watched TDK the other day, and it still amazes me how flawless some of the scenes of Dents scarred face are! The way his eyes move in sync; it's flawless! You'd swear this Dude was really burnt!

If the HEX Crew are smart, they'd get the same TDK effects guys to do Hex's face. :)


SpiderMan209 - 6/3/2009, 12:00 PM
Looks awsome!!
TheSoulEater - 6/3/2009, 12:03 PM
wow what a let down. looks like he was just sloppy when eating. no way i will see this.

and thats it folks. there wont be any digital stuff added later. or else there would be green on his face.
grif - 6/3/2009, 12:54 PM
GRIF @ You always see the best in things don't ya lol! : D
LEEE777 - 6/3/2009, 1:09 PM
Anybody else find it odd that he has exactly the same face in both images and that the second one looks a little too small for his head. I think these images are suspect. Either that or I am just very disappointed and striving for something to make me feel better.
JerusalemJr - 6/3/2009, 1:13 PM
JerusalemJr ("Jr"?) I thought the same thing. But checking them again, the teeth in the first one are more visible than the second one. So they are two separate faces, two pics.... but overacted, EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE GUY TAKING THE PICTURE.
SirJediFrank - 6/3/2009, 1:40 PM
he looks constipated.
wards - 6/3/2009, 2:06 PM
yep; face had to be Photoshopped - identical in both pics; the makeup is probably just a guide for the CGI face to come.

I agree! I'm am very over critical when it comes to CGI and I thought they did an oustanding job with Two Face.
BmanHall - 6/3/2009, 2:23 PM
I don't know much about photo shoping, so I may be off base, but I'd say the pictures are legit. Although the faces are similar I think that is just the make up job as the shadowing in the two pictures seems to me to signify that they are infact two pictures and not one head photoshopped onto another body. Just my two cents.
thwhtGuardian - 6/3/2009, 2:56 PM
thwhtknight--yeah, you're right.
Betty - 6/3/2009, 3:43 PM
im sure they will use some cgi when they show his eye
thenumber12 - 6/3/2009, 3:45 PM
Let me first say that i don't know a damn thing about Jonah Hex... but looking at these pictures... I kinda wish they would have went with Thomas Jane... Thomas Jane is a bad ass. And honestly I think Josh Brolin is getting a little played out... he's in EVERYTHING these days. Not that I think he's a bad actor because that's not the case... I just like Thomas Jane better. Plus he's obviously passionate about it seeing as he made his own "audition photos" just because he loves the character so much.

I'm not sayin... I'm just sayin...
Pockets713 - 6/3/2009, 8:16 PM
Look OK to me.
I prefer him as Jonah Hex over the futuristic Hex so I like what I see so far.
SlurpeeGuy - 6/3/2009, 10:55 PM
Hey if HEX makes in to HEX 3 i bet we could very well see him as FUTURISTIC HEX!!! Which i think would be kinda cool, bit like an ARMY OF DARKNESS thing going on!!! ; )
LEEE777 - 6/4/2009, 6:40 AM
His face could use a bit more scarring, but they nailed the costume. Brolin sure has the right look for Hex. This is one film I'm looking forward to, and I'm liking what I'm seeing from it so far.
comicb00kguy - 6/4/2009, 7:33 AM
Thomas Jane incarnation was much better.. We'll have to wait and see the final product though..
Imran - 6/4/2009, 12:55 PM
I certainly hope these shots are him taking a break from the make-up chair. They're on the right track, but looks incomplete compared to the comics.
Phinehas - 6/4/2009, 8:37 PM
SERIOUSLY GUYS ITS NOT GONNA BE CGI'D ON LATER. YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE IF IT WAS HE'D HAVE SOMETHING ON HIS FACE. EVERY TIME THEY DO CGI THEY ALWAYS PUT SOMETHING IN PLACE OF THE ACTUAL OBJECT SO THEY CAN RENDER FROM THERE.
j2cool2 - 6/4/2009, 8:55 PM
looks good to me . this movie will kick ass . over the years artits that have drawn Jonah have differed in there interpatations of his scared face some more profound than others .
georgia49th - 6/5/2009, 12:17 AM
The make-up on thomas jane looked much better

Photobucket
tjdr59 - 6/5/2009, 3:59 PM
I agree about the Thomas Jane makeup looking more menacing. Tho, they could make Brolin's look more menacing by adding an albino eye contact.

ex. WWE's Kane:

deadshot77 - 6/7/2009, 7:22 PM
Not good enough! They need to play up the hideousness of his face, not too much, but more is needed.
kirbyfan - 6/16/2009, 3:47 PM
"Hey if HEX makes in to HEX 3 i bet we could very well see him as FUTURISTIC HEX!"

No LEEE! *Smacks hand* That is a bad LEEE! Don't ever wish for time travel story arcs... Bad things happen! Like shitty plots!
J. "Falcon" Ayers - 6/17/2009, 3:47 AM
HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO JIZZ
