This image of Josh Brolin as the titlar Jonah Hex, is makng the rounds on the interwebs this week. Griz and I were able to see some really amazing footage of the movie while we were in San Diego this year, but I’m even more geeked after seeing this. I also found an “official” plot rundown:

“Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) 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 Leila (Megan Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But 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 (John Malkovich). 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. Based on the legendary graphic novel, “Jonah Hex” is an epic adventure thriller about one man’s personal quest for redemption against the vast canvas of the battle between good and evil.”

I don’t know how “official” this actually is, but from what I saw of it, this is pretty close. The Jonah Hex comics always had a supernatural-western feel to them and this certainly follows suit. Jonah Hex is set to open June 18, 2010.
