Film School Rejects: And Now Josh Brolin Might Not Be Jonah Hex?

  • Atomic_Raj · 1 year ago
    I think Josh Brolin should at least consider it but I can see why he is not that bothered at the moment. The thing is that not a lot of people know who Hex is. If I were DC I would try and promote him more in order to get people to notice who he is. In order to get into the mainstream the story and effects would have to be half decent to amazing.

    I would really like to see Josh in the role because having seen Planet Terror I reckon Josh has what it takes to be Jonah Hex.

    What does everyone else think?

    Yeah he def gave me the creeps as the doctor in Planet Terror. He could give us nightmares as Hex. I agree 100%.

    Josh Brolin cannot be Jonah Hex because Josh Brolin must be The Lone Ranger. (And it goes without saying that he can't be both.)

    I think that Michael C. Hall (Dexter) might just have what Jonah Hex needs. You can say with a knee jerk that Dexter Morgan is a one-note character, and you wouldn't be wrong -- that's the point, and what makes Dexter, Dexter; he only has one note to play. But anyone who saw the episode this season where Dexter calls in a phony tip as an imaginary informant and briefly but uncannily assumes another persona for the blink of an eye, got a preview of the full tilt showmanship of Michael C. Hall.

    Pass on Brolin for anything, he isn't that great to begin with.

    The person who could have pulled off Jonah Hex was Clint Eastwood when he was in his prime. He had the look and tone for what it meant to be a scarred cowboy with a vendetta.

    But someone I think would be able to pull it off would be.......Viggo Mortenson. He has shown he has the moves to be an action hero and a wronged person.
