The Spinner Rack

The JONAH HEX movie might not have done that well, but fans will get to see another take on the weird gunslinger with this animated short attached to the BATMAN: UNDER THE RED HOOD DVD that’s coming out in a few weeks. It’s looking like it’s drawing a little more directly from the comics, with talent involved whose names should be familiar to any serious JONAH HEX fan. John R. Lanslade (he of TWO GUN MOJO & RIDERS OF THE WORM AND SUCH) wrote the script off an original story cooked up by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. Josh Brolin ain't... er... isn’t actually voicing Hex for this. Instead, it’s Thomas “ The Punisher” Jane. He’ll be joined by soft-spoken tough guy Michael Rooker (who just announced he’ll be in the WALKING DEAD TV show,) Linda “The Original Sarah Connor” Hamilton and Michelle “ Buffy’s lil’ sister, Dawn” Trachtenburg.

I think that’s enough to bring y’all up to speed about this. Why don’t you enjoy this clip from MTV below?

a lot of Jonah Hex clips are floating around and since i for got to include him in the June edition of movies to check out I'll give him some play.

The second DC Showcase animated short, "Jonah Hex," will appear as a bonus feature on the Special Edition Blu-Ray and 2-Disc Special Edition DVD release of "Batman: Under the Red Hood."

Scripted by renowned author Joe Lansdale and starring the voices of Thomas Jane (Hung), Linda Hamilton (The Terminator), Michelle Trachtenberg (Mercy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Michael Rooker (Days of Thunder), the DC Showcase short is based on the award winning comic series. The short is rated PG-13.

In the DC Showcase story, the tough-as-nails bounty hunter Jonah Hex always gets his man - until someone else gets to him first - in this case a murderous madam who wants to steal more than just her bounty from Jonah Hex.

Here is a look at the first images to be distributed from the short, along with some bonus previously released images from "Batman: Under the Red Hood," on-sale July 27.

It seems as if they are trying to giving Jonah Hex a supernatural effect, but if memory serves me correct he was an ordinary man with no mysticism about him, but Hollywood has to put there stamp on everything so here's hoping that it will fly.



Jonah Hex is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone... and anything. Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the "other side." His only human connection is with Lila, whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. Jonah's past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull. But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead.

Jonah Hex stars Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Michael Shannon and is directed by Jimmy Hayward with a nationwide opening on June 18th, 2010.

This movie is still up in the air for me, Now I try to support all comic related movies and such that come out but its kinda hard with Jonah Hex because i feel that there are just so many other interesting character in the dc universe that could have been made, but this 11 second teaser clip helps a little bit.

Remember that joke everyone used to say when you were younger? "You are so ugly, your mom had to tie a bone around your neck to get the dog to play with you." Well it looks like Jonah Hex' dog mistook his face for the bone.
