MASTODON SCORING JONAH HEX FILM
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009 at 11:36pm by Axl Rosenberg
I know that it’s way later than normal posting hours for us here at MetalSucks, but I just read this news and I find it so exciting that I had to get it up right away.
Uber-dork Harry Knowles of Ain’t It Cool News reports the following little tidbit:
Today – and many other days as well – the metal gods known as MASTODON have been not so quietly scoring the film JONAH HEX. When I asked what itt was sounding like, the only response was, “Needless to say, pretty heavy!”
Now, I’m not really familiar with the Jonah Hex graphic novel upon which the film is based, and I’m a little suspicious that the director of the supernatural western, Jimmy Hayward, has only one previous helming credit: the animated Horton Hears a Who!
But the flick will star Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, and Megan Fox, and the idea of Mastodon scoring a movie really intrigues me. Bonus: the screenplay is by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the same dudes who wrote and directed Crank and the Mike Patton-scored Crank 2 (plus this Friday’s crappy-looking Gamer, but whatever).
Jonah Hex is scheduled to be released on June 18, 2010.

Regardless of how good/bad the movie looks, I’m probably still going to see that in a theater purely for Mastodon.
+1
+2
pretty much. i’m willing to bet it’ll blow goats, but at least the score will rule
Here, too.
Holy dog shit! I already want to see this movie!
Whaddafuxxx?!?!?!?
Very cool… look forward to hearing it.
Megan fox is the worst actress ever she needs to quit acting and just go into porn.
I second that emotion.
Epic Fail. “I second that Emotion”? The word your groping for is motion you dick.
If you have no idea what your trying to say don’t post.
Maybe he is just a huge Smokey Robinson fan…
If you’re going to criticise his English, at least work out the difference between your and you’re.
Yep, the simple ‘your’ and ‘you’re’ trap ensnares another foolhardy beast in the pit.
That was Epic Fail 2: When Fails Collide
Epic Fail 2: Electric Boogaloo?
Oh shit, huh. Well I’ll be damned. Happens to the best of us. Still though mine was grammatical his is just sheer stupidity.
You didn’t pick up that that’s a song? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tAUDiS4rak
strongly agree
I doin’t think that she’s that bad of an actress, but yeah, she needs to do porn.
shut up, your opinion blows
She hasn’t done anything yet that requires actual acting, so who knows? I would enjoy seeing her flick the bean tho…
Yeah, that might actually give me a reasonto go see this in a theater. Would love to hear mastodon blaring through a real nice theater surround sound set up.
So who here saw that one Dutch flick that Epica scored?
Unfortunately, I think very little of the MetalSucks readers know of the existence of Epica. Sad as that may be.
You can include me in the minority. They’re decent.
Which movie was that? Epica is fucking awesome, but doesn’t quite fit in with the narrow interests of most of the readers of this site.
It’s called Joyride. Haven’t seen it myself actually. I am eagerly anticipating the new album, though.
Maybe this movie won’t be as bad as it looks if Mastodon think this is worth doing. Oogling at Megan Fox while listening to the sweet sounds of Mastodon through movie theater surround sound, yes please!
Megan Fox is only hot with 30 million dollars of CGI filling in the huge acne pits in her face. And besides that I wouldn’t watch her do porn if she starred in a full cinematic version of 2 girls 1 cup directed by Michael Bay. To say she’s only good enough to do porn is an insult to not only the Porn Industry, but to all the women in porn who could actually be doing legitimate film if over inflated and over hyped actresses like Megan would just go back to bagging my groceries.
I’m sorry but I don’t believe there is even one woman in the porn industry who could make it as a legitimate actress.
Wrong. Sasha Grey already has and she is fucking smoking hot.
studio exec: “hey mastodon, here’s a million dollars to write some songs for a shitty movie.”
mastodon: “ok.”
Axel, do yourself a favor… don’t talk about movies or comics for that matter. You have no idea what you are talking about. If you get amped for the directors of Crank, and you feel suspicious about someone who worked on a quality flick, then you really show your ignorance for cinema.
Jimmy Hayward used to work for Pixar, and was an animator on some of Pixar’s best films. Pixar does not hire retards to work on their films, many of their staff, directors, and animators are expertly trained on the art of cinema by MASTERS of animation and film.
Seriously, i know i seem to troll (for fun!) but i enjoy this site… i just don’t enjoy when you talk about something you seem totally lost on.
I would be more worried that an overrated, bland actress like Megan Fox is in this film, and that Thomas Jane was overlooked for Josh Brolin. (albeit a great actor, is not a comic fan like Jane.) Oh yeah… and people involved with Crank wrote it.
Yeah, you guys should stick to ripping of Metal Injection and Blabbermouth and calling it journalism.
It would be awesome if you went to comic/movie sites and wrote walls of bullshit text.
It’s not a graphic novel. Learn to Wikipedia.
I’m keeping my hopes up for this flick. Hex is a bad ass character and, while I would have loved to see Jane play him, Brolin should be great in the part. I’m giving the writers the benefit of the doubt. They knew exactly what kind of movie they were making with Crank. I’m going to allow for the possibility that their writing ability is not limited to mindless, kinetic, silly action.
Also, if any of you really think that Megan Fox has enough work under her belt to determine her acting ability, you’re retarded. Even she admitted publicly that the Transformers flicks are not movies about acting. So, again, benefit of the doubt, let’s see how this turns out.
All film/graphic novel issues aside, MASTODON KICKS ASS!!! Thus, I will go see this in theaters. Conversation over.
God dammit, now i’m going to have to watch this stupid film.
megan fox isn’t naked enough in any of the movies she’s been in. if you can’t act, at least take your clothes off.
Since I started checking this site about 9 months ago it has really gone to shit. Kinda sad but mostly inevitable. The writing is a lot of pilfered articles from other metal sites, the laughs are fewer and farther between, and if it weren’t for Eyal Levi I would have zero interest in this site at all. Come on you guys stop smoking pot all day and get some fucking motivation. Drink a Red Bull, shoot up some cocaine, eat some chiles idon’t know. This site is circling the drain.
you sure do cry a lot.
Agreed.
No i voice my opinion a lot. So go fuck yourself.
9 months ago was about when the downward turn started…right around when you got here. Coincidence?
Hey Fuck Yeah (cock) is the Shit!
That’s all.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. No one’s forcing you to keep reading, buddy.
SAVAGE!!!!!!!
Megan Fox is not the hottest woman in the world. Fuck magazines.
Not even close, and to make it even better, she’s a half-wit bigot, too.
Busted-ass tits with implants are still busted-ass tits. When the support goes away, she’s got 80-year-old flapjacks. Not to mention her thumbs…they’re just fucking scary. She’ll pull a Britney Spears, and in 5 years the only reason she’ll be in the news is for doing something retarded.
why? because she said that there was white trash in america?
exciting? when will it become banal? like it is for me…
Mastodon + Horton Hears A Who = Win
This movie will blow. I’ll just download the soundtrack, thank you very much.
I dunno about the movie, but the comic isn’t supernatural, to my knowledge. From everything I’ve heard, it’s just a western wherein the main character has a fucked up face and an even more fucked up moral code (i.e. lack thereof).
