... for like three and a half seconds! Cinematical was among the many who managed to inch their way inside the Warner Bros. TV press line as publicists paraded actors, actresses and filmmakers down a line of press while everyone with a mic and camera got to ask like 2.5 questions (if that). Cinematical's Elisabeth Rappe was on hand with our Comic Con cameraman Chris Glenn, and while we'll be posting a whole bunch of mini-interviews with folks like Jackie Earle Haley, Denzel Washington, Robert Rodriguez, Mila Kunis and Gary Oldman, we wanted to pull out the Megan Fox video and feature it by itself since this is, in fact, the first official time we've talked to the gal.
After the jump, watch Megan Fox tell us about kicking ass in Jonah Hex, as well as which super power she'd love to possess.
SDCC: What Warner Brothers Wants You To Watch
Filed under: Horror », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Fandom », Exhibition », Comic/Superhero/Geek », ComicCon »
After Thursday's Hall H offerings more or less covered the entirety of comic book an genre fandom's future favorite films, among them Tron, Avatar, and the future classic Kick-Ass, it seemed an impossible task for almost anyone to top what was shown, much less to muster enthusiasm from the already punch-drunk crowd. And yet, Warner Brothers made a remarkably strong showing with their presentation of not one or two but six upcoming films, almost all of which looks ready to redefine fans' expectations.
Included in Warner's presentation:
Release Date Shuffle: 'Elm Street,' 'Jonah Hex,' 'Armored'

So amidst yesterday's set visit preview and our first little look at Freddy Krueger, it would appear -- according to Fangoria -- that the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street has been pushed back a bit from April 16th to April 30th, 2010, the same weekend that happened to bring in nearly $30 million for Obsessed this year.And the same Fangoria piece brings up a move for Josh Brolin's scarred gunslinger, Jonah Hex, up from August 6th to June 18th, 2010. It seems like a vote of confidence, either because Megan Fox is such a big box-office draw now or because Will Arnett will be once G-Force drops this Friday.
We've also confirmed that Nimrod Antal's heist thriller Armored has been bumped from this September 4th back to December 4th. The week after Thanksgiving is usually somewhat of a no-man's-land for the holiday flops to fall away and the awards magnets to work their way up and out, but for every Aeon Flux, we get something fun like Punisher: War Zone, and early rumblings on Armored are that we might not have a dud on our hands. Having enjoyed Antal's Kontroll and 98% of Vacancy, and knowing that this flick helped him land the gig directing Predators, here's hoping.
The Geek Beat: Jimmy Palmiotti and I Head to 'The Last Resort'
Filed under: Comic/Superhero/Geek », The Geek Beat »
If The Geek beat ended tomorrow (but it's not -- don't worry!), it would end on one hell of a high note. Two weeks ago, Justin Gray graciously agreed to do an interview with me all about comics, movies, and the upcoming live-action adaptation of Jonah Hex. (IF you haven't read it yet, go back and do so!) As I said before, one of my goals with this weekly column was to bring you some of the hardworking men and women who create all the stories we really geek out over. Can you believe I've managed to do it again? By sheer luck, this time it's Gray's co-writer Jimmy Palmiotti!
Palmiotti has had a very long career at Marvel and DC, and has worked on characters ranging from the Punisher to Hawkman. He's been the creator and co-creator of The New West, The Pro, Gatecrasher, Beautiful Killer, Ash, Cloudburst, Trigger Girl 6, Thrill Seeker and Painkiller Jane. He and Gray have teamed up for Jonah Hex, Uncle Sam and the Freedom Fighters, 21 Down, The Resistance, DC's Countdown, Hawkman, Monolith, The Hills Have Eyes: The Beginning, and Friday the 13th and many others, including the upcoming The Last Resort. The first issue of Resort hits store shelves this Wednesday (check out the preview on Newsarama), and if you love zombies and 70s style exploitation, then it's the series for you. Demand your store order a copy in if they didn't snag you one already.
Palmotti graciously came by to talk about Resort (and why you should read it), zombie movies, how he feels about superheroes and their movies, where he'll be at ComicCon, and the experience of seeing Jonah Hex come alive. Read on!

The Geek Beat: A Chat With Justin Gray, Co-Writer of 'Jonah Hex'
Filed under: Comic/Superhero/Geek », The Geek Beat »
One of the things I've been hoping to do with the Geek Beat for some time is to use it to interview the hardworking men and women of the geek world ... because come on, who wants to listen to me blather solo until the end of time? Wouldn't it be cool to hear from people actually creating the things I rant about? Yeah, I thought so too.
Finally, the stars aligned, and I managed to connect with someone whose work I've admired for some time: Justin Gray. You know Gray from his solo work on Legends of the Dark Knight, MA Fantastic Four, and numerous titles with Moonstone Books. You also know him from his work with Jimmy Palmiotti, as they've been behind such cool titles as Jonah Hex, Heroes For Hire, Friday the 13th, 21 Down, and Hawkman, plus the Ghost Rider and Punisher video games. Check out their official site for more info, and buy up anything with their names on it to keep those single issue sales up and thriving.
Now, enough of me! You see enough of me every week. Let's just jump right in with Justin, who graciously answered my questions about Jonah Hex, the comic industry, Hollywood's newfound love affair with it, and just what it's like to be a successful writer. The interview is after the jump, and I really hope you enjoy it.

First Look At Josh Brolin As Jonah Hex!
Filed under: Action », Horror », Warner Brothers », Fandom », Newsstand », Movie Marketing », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Images », Western »
Josh Brolin's Jonah Hex make-up has been a closely guarded secret, more so than Megan Fox in her prostitute get-up, but it looks like a spy might have finally caught him down in the Big Easy. We have to stress that these photos are unofficial, obtained from an unnamed source, and appeared on a gossip blog. They may be taken down by Warner Bros, who has been anxious to keep the film under tight wraps and embargo. The photos of Megan Fox weren't taken down, but a pretty girl in a corset is a lot less spoilery than a sight of Brolin in full Jonah Hex gear.
Assuming they're left up for you to enjoy, these are some great, spooky looking shots of Brolin in character. If you're a fan of the eerie cowboy, you can't help but get excited at how well the actor pulls it all off. He looks great (you have to love that Eastwoodesqe sneer), and I'm very glad they left him in his Confederate uniform. Using Confederate costumes and flags can be a rather dicey thing, but it's also a historical reality and a neccessary part of Jonah's character, so I'm glad they've stayed authentic.

The first set photos of Megan Fox in costume as Leila in the upcoming comic adaptation of Jonah Hex have arrived online, and -- guess what -- they have the girl wearing next to nothing, as usual. And look at that sickeningly tiny waist! Fox admits she has a 22-inch waist size, so there's not a whole lot of movie magic going on there. In the film, Fox plays a gun-wielding beauty and love interest to Hex (Josh Brolin) -- but she's also a prostitute who our hero rescues from a brothel. MovieGab has the first group of images, some of which include Fox dressed more conservatively while riding in a horse-drawn carriage. Jonah Hex, which also stars Will Arnett, Michael Shannon and John Malkovich and hits theaters on August 6, 2010, tells of a ruthless bounty hunter with a scarred face who attempts to track down a voodoo practitioner who plans to free the Confederate South with an army of the undead. If successful, 20th Century Fox will most likely look to franchise the character in multiple sequels.
In other Megan Fox news, the June issue of Esquire will feature the first ever magazine cover shot with the high-tech Red One video camera ... and guess who's on the cover? While the magazine on newsstands will show a series of still photographs from the shoot, folks can sneak the video cover online now, as well as check out a longer video of the shoot over on Esquire's website on May 4. They claim this to be the first time in magazine history that a cover image was shot as a video. Megan Fox can next be seen in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen on June 24.
Megan Fox to Play Mickey Rourke's Angel?
Filed under: Drama », Independent », Casting », RumorMonger »
Probably the last thing that most people think about when they look at Megan Fox is religion or pure or holy (except when saying, "Holy sh*t is she hot!"). But, over at the Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business Blog, they report that Fox is now attached to star as an 'Angel' alongside Mickey Rourke in the indie crime story, Passion Plays. Mitch Glazer wrote and will also direct the story of a down-on-his-luck trumpet player who saves an 'Angel' who is under the thumb of a ruthless gangster. Rourke would be playing the trumpet dude (well, it was either that or the gangster) and Fox will play the 'Angel' who is described in the script as "a slender beauty with wings who is part of a carnival." Most of us are used to the idea of Rourke in these kinds of 'gritty' films, but Fox on the other hand could probably use the chance to expand her resume beyond being the girl who made her name by leaning over a car. Granted, her first chance to be more than Michael Bay's window dressing came with her starring role in Diablo Cody's horror Jennifer's Body, but she hasn't strayed far from her roots and will be back working on the comic book flick Jonah Hex and the period action flick Ironclad (although her role in that particular film hasn't been confirmed) in the coming months.
Regardless of what I think of Fox's abilities, it might be nice to see her do some actual acting for a change. Because let's be honest with ourselves, standing around looking hot isn't exactly 'acting' for this chick. But I do applaud her for taking a page from the Nicolas Cage playbook, and beefing up her resume with a healthy mix of indie credibility and Hollywood blockbusters.
Passion Plays is expected to arrive in theaters later this year.

Will Arnett and Michael Shannon to Ride with Jonah Hex
Filed under: Action », Comedy », Horror », Casting », Warner Brothers », Newsstand », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Western »
Warner Bros' Jonah Hex gained some really interesting casting today (yes, realThe Hollywood Reporter casting, no April Fool's stuff). According to , Will Arnett and Michael Shannon are joining the cast, which already includes Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, and Megan Fox. Arnett will be playing a Union soldier named Lieutenant Grass who enlists Hex to kill Turnbull, Malkovich's Confederate voodoo practitioner. Per an old casting notice, Grass is a man who's blindsided by the dirty fighting style of his enemies, a man more interested in new styles of warfare than really understanding his enemy. The role isn't meant to be funny, so Arnett will be toning down his style. Even when he's funny, he's got a bit of the creep about him (no offense, Mr. Arnett) which seems perfect for Jonah Hex, where everyone is a little ... off.
Shannon, fresh off his Oscar nomination, will be playing Doc Cross Williams, the bizarre ringleader of a brutal gladiator / circus event. Williams' is one of Hex's recurring nemesis in the series, whose finest achievement is making Wild Bill Hickok into a zombie. THR says he's likely to appear in sequels which is the first time anyone's mentioned a Jonah Hex franchise. While we're still a long ways away from being able to say "Hell yeah, bring it on", it's little touches like Wild Bill Hickok zombies that makes Jonah Hex such an enticing project.
Megan Fox Joins 'Jonah Hex' and Dives Into 'Fathom'
Filed under: Action », Horror », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », Casting », Warner Brothers », 20th Century Fox », Newsstand », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Western »
Megan Fox knows how to please her fans -- and it isn't by trying out for edgy indie fare, romantic comedies, or soul searching dramas. It's by sticking to the "boy movies" based on comic books or transforming cars.So it should come as no surprise that Fox has signed for not one, but two comic book properties. The first is Fox Atomic's long-rumored Fathom, which casts Fox in the lead role of Aspen Matthews. The film doesn't have a director yet, though it once attracted James Cameron. Jordan Mechner (creator of the video game Prince of Persia) is writing the script. To Fox's credit, she's been a fan of the comic since its start in 1998, and is helping to develop and shape the big screen adaptation. Will her ex-fiancee Brian Austin Green stay on as producer, as listed in The Hollywood Reporter?
Fox is also set to join Josh Brolin and John Malkovich in Warner Bros' Jonah Hex -- which brings a really promising project down a notch or two in my eyes. (Hey, she's perfect for Fathom. But I would have preferred Hex steer cleer of such pandering.) Fox will play Leila, a gun-wielding beauty and love interest for Jonah. I don't believe she ever appeared in the original series, though Hex's mythology is so uneven that she very well might be a current character. (There was a female supermodel who claimed to be Jonah Hex, maybe she's inspired by that.)
But hey -- THR reveals that Malkovich's Turnbull will be a voodoo practioner who is trying to raise an undead army of Confederate soldiers. So not even the gratutious inclusion of Fox and her smoking guns can really dim my enthusiasm. Who knows? She might even end up cool as well as hot.
