my face. T-Jane can sell me on a movie, but can it be pulled off? Also... Akiva Goldsman of
Constantine & I Am Legend? That's a bad sign.
I still think Jim Carrey, doing his best Clint Eastwood impression, would be great as Hex. It's
a hard sell though.
Tom has a Clint Eastwood and a Charles Bronson look.
Jim Carrey as Hex....... give me Tom for this role anyday.

WHY would you think it's a good idea to have a short, pretty boy as Jonah frikkin' Hex...or the Punisher for that matter??
Is he the absolute perfect fit for this role? Maybe not. But if he were cast would I be excited? Yes.
And Dolph Lundgrens Punisher sat naked in a sewer.
Plus, they could almost do it as a straightforward Western and get away with it.
Word on the script is that it would be super-natural in nature, like some of the comics are.
Tom played the Punisher's character from the 1980's and he played the character the very well. Tom had nothing to do with the writing of the Punisher film, so don't go and blame him for it.
Give the whole Christopher Lambert look a rest. I'll never know where people see that. But Tom does have a Eastwood and a Bronson look.
Of course the picture is fake. It's just to gove people an idea of how Tom would look as the character.

I know - I’m linking to the site from within the site. It’s meta. Get used to it.
I admit, I don’t know who Jonah Hex is (or was) but if anyone can bring him true to form…it is without a doubt Thomas Jane. Look how he is already transforming physical attribute to Hex. If Jane believes in a character he has a rare gift of learning him off screen so that he can live him on screen. He genuinely devotes himself! (And Thomas’s stone cold stare captures his fan’s attention– especially when that one eyebrow raises up and he pierces a deadly look at his enemy…you know someone’s in trouble then! :}
So, to conclude and in this lady’s opinion…I think Warner Brothers would be very smart in offering this role to TJ…if they want to make a lot of money that is.
I wouldn't mind Thomas Jane as Jonah Hex, except, if this picture is correct, then the studio has already fucked up. Black outfit? Jonah Hex wears a Confederate hat and blouse. That defines the character. Changing that, he's just another cowboy.
The picture is Tom Jane's audition picture, if you will, for the role, not official art in anyway. I'd imagine they'd (hopefully) stick to his regular attire, as you're correct, him being a Southerner shortly after the war is vital to his character, much like The Outlaw Josey Wales.
