It shows Josh Brolin as the comic book antihero Jonah Hex, a bounty hunter. Half of his his face is scarred. Megan Fox also stars in the film, according to the posters, but Megan has said she really just has a cameo. In any event, Jonah looks mighty grumpy. The film is set to be released in June, 2010.

Akiva Goldsman and Andrew Rona will produce and Don Payne wrote the script. Production on Lobo begins early next year. The character originated in 1983 in Omega Men written by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen. Lobo has had several comic incarnations. In the film, he is a seven-foot tall, blue-skinned, indestructible and heavily muscled anti-hero who drives a pimped out motorcycle, and lands on Earth in search of four fugitives who are bent on wreaking havoc. Lobo teams with a small town teenaged girl to stop the creatures.Lobo will be Guy's next film after Sherlock Holmes which premieres Christmas Day, 2009. We wonder who he has in mind for Lobo. It's going to have to be someone who doesn't mind six hours in a makeup chair every day. Hey, aren't the aliens in James Cameron's Avatar also seven feet tall with blue skin? It must be a new fashion trend.

What may make the film more watchable is Jason Bateman as Hancock's PR man. Here's a review of the film from Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune who calls it a "mediocre film" and questions how it got by without an R-rating. It may be mediocre but Will Smith still won the box office anyway - this obviously says more about Smith's stellar star power than it does about Hancock.

in a new film about the comic book character Red Sonja; the film will be directed by Rose's fiance, Robert Rodriguez.
The Grindhouse co-director will produce a new big-screen adventure featuring the flame-haired comic-book vixen. While Brigitte Nielsen wielded Sonja's sword in the poorly received 1985 version, Rodriguez's Planet Terror zombie slayer and real-life leading lady, Rose McGowan, will wiggle into the metal mesh bikini in the 2010 release.Douglas Aarniokoski will direct the story, which will be based on the comic books and the pulp fiction novelist Robert E. Howard, the man who crated Red Sonja and Conan the Barbarian. Red Sonja? So does that mean Barbarella is lost in space? We're thinking yes.
