Re-shoots starting for Jonah Hex
Movie bosses have ordered a series of re-shoots, so Josh Brolin is heading back to Jonah Hex, the upcoming blockbuster.
Brolin plays disfigured bounty hunter Hex in the Western, a big screen adaptation of the popular comic books, along with Megan Fox and John Maklovich.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, although shooting on the big budget production ended last year, the stars are heading back to the set at the end of the month to film additional action scenes.
Twelve new pages have been added to the script, including more action. The reshoots are reportedly only going to last ten days. It has been reported the scenes will include more of Jonah’s pre-scarred life with his Native American wife, Cassie, and his son Travis. Jeb Turnbull, son of John Malkovich’s Quentin Turnbull, will also be added in, as well as President Andrew Johnson himself.
There’s two stories circulating as to why Hex needs a bit more work. Some are saying the additional scenes and extra money are to fix “certain problems with the movie.” Others say it was to really polish up the moderately-budgeted film.
The movie has had a series of setbacks, including the loss of directing duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, who wrote the script, but allegedly left the project following creative differences with Brolin.
Originally scheduled for an August release, that date has now been moved forward to June.
