Lainey Gossip has posted the first image of Josh Brolin as
Jonah Hex, which is set to hit theaters on August 6, 2010. Click below to catch your first glimpse of Brolin as the title character in the film, which also stars Megan Fox, John Malkovich, Will Arnett and Michael Shannon.
Hex, known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood.
Jonah Hex first appeared in the early 1970s in the issues of "All-Star Western" before graduating to his own series in 1977 that ran for about 10 years. A new series was launched in 2005. The character also had a run in the 1990s that combined the Western genre with supernatural elements.

I was talking terms of movies that over here in the UK are 18 i think that may be on the border of hardcore R-rated and NC-17, not to sure.
R-rated over here is equal to a 15 rating
But yeah R-rated comedies come now and then and so does the occassional proper horror that ain't a bloody remake.
LOL
I think it does look a little goofy and well cartoony, kinda campish, lol. And yeah BD, i thought the same thing about that middle picture, lol The Hobbit goes to the Wild West :)
Your talking about camp horror genre's. I mean the ratings. I do agree that PG-13 is the best thing to grasp, but really when has R rated movies been on top of PG-13 movies. It's always been like this. the reason why many of today's r rated movies fail is because of the story. If the Dark Knight was r rated with the same story, it would still be a big success, of course not as big as it would be now.
Drag Me To Hell was a brilliant one off movie, just because its sucessful doesn't mean the camp horror genre is gooing to make a massive returning comeback, and no one does camp horror like Raimi.
The only (18-15 in UK) R-rated films we seem to be getting hitting theatres these days are Saw, which apparently ends this year, and shitty MTV-style remakes of existing horror franchises.
Everything else seems to be grasping hold of a PG-13 rating (12a)
It's smart to go with lesser known comics, gives the directors/writers freedom to change what they need to adapt it for the big screen.
And the simple fact that majority of theatrical R-rated films are shitty remakes and the good horrors fly straight to dvd, with unknown or small promotion.
Now tell me R-rating isn't dying, shit the most graphical film of the past years is bloody saw which is the only film holding a NC-17 rating trimmed to a hardcore R-rating.
Not tell me where the R-rating is going, they are dying because they aren't profitable anymore.
A r-rated film will only hit theatres if producers deem it profitable on cinema
Maybe it'll look better on screen, but these aren't doing anything for me. Gotta see a trailer
This will be awesome but flop because the R-rating is slowly dying
