Jonah Hex reshoots | Movie News
A bit of troubling news coming out of the JONAH HEX camp today. Warners is sending HEX back to the studio for some reshooting, and though this isn’t ALWAYS a cause for alarm, they’re bringing in HEX director Jimmy Hayward with I AM LEGEND’s Francis Lawrence to “consult” with him on the new footage. Uh oh.
The last time I heard about significant reshoots, it was during the post-production of WOLVERINE where Richard Donner came in to help Gavin Hood, and we all know how that turned out. Maybe this is just minor stuff, but this “consult” would indicate Warners is not happy with what’s currently been shot, and this is more than just technical difficulties.
The reshoots will take place over two weeks in January and are not expected to affect the release of the film. In the meantime, you might as well see if you qualify for any of these other roles apparently still yet to be cast:
[CASSIE] - wife of 'Jonah Hex' (Josh Brolin). Native American. Pretty, young, sexy.
[TRAVIS] - age 9 (to play younger)... Must be a match to Josh Brolin and Native American 'Cassie'.
[JEB TURNBULL] - son of 'Quentin Turnbull' (John Malkovich). 30 - 35. Skinny, southern accent. Needs one or two days for prosthetics.
[PRESIDENT ANDREW JOHNSON] - 50-60. Look alike, if possible.
[ADVISOR] - to President Johnson. Younger, 1870's version of a "West Wing" character.
[DEAD GUY] - late 20s/30s. Scary looking.. May need a day for prosthetics/possible make-up.
I’m going out for “DEAD GUY” myself. Though people always have told me I look just like Andrew Johnson.

Extra Tidbit: And here Megan Fox thought she was done with that corset. If she stops eating now, she might be able to fit into it by January.

LOTR? They shot all three at the same time so that was a more complicated shoot than most. Of course they needed to go back for additional/alternate footage!

Most directors, even the experienced ones, wish they had this luxury, but often the studio won't allow them to shoot additional scenes (because of the cost involved), or there just isn't enough time in the schedule to allow it.

I'm not suggesting JONAH HEX isn't in trouble, it may well be. But the reality is that this is quite normal.
It happened on THE INCREDIBLE HULK as well, and that movie turned out fine.

Having said all that, Warner Bros. did hire the director of HORTON HEARS A WHO to direct their adaptation of a comic focusing on a horribly scarred antihero... so I wouldn't exactly be shocked if they were… surprised… by what he gave them.
I’m still really looking forward to seeing a trailer for this.

WHY WOULD YOU CAST HER??! She is only physically attractive, her acting is mediocre at best.
I still cringe everytime I hear her on Transformers2 "Sam death" scene.
ugh
