Megan Fox to Star in Jonah Hex & Fathom

March 3, 2009


Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star Megan Fox is in final negotiations to star opposite Josh Brolin and John Malkovich in Jonah Hex, Warner Bros.' action Western based on the DC Comics character. She also is attached to star and develop Fathom, Fox Atomic's comic book-based underwater adventure.

In "Hex," being directed by Jimmy Hayward, Fox will play Leila, a gun-wielding beauty and love interest of Hex (Brolin), a scarred bounty hunter tracking a voodoo practitioner (Malkovich) who wants to raise an army of undead to liberate the South.

The movie is prepping for a shoot in April, with Mad Chance's Andrew Lazar and Weed Road's Akiva Goldsman producing.

Fathom, a comic created by recently deceased artist Michael Turner, follows a young woman named Aspen who learns she is a member of a race of aquatic humanoids who possess the ability to control water.

Fathom is being written by Jordan Mechner, the creator of video game "Prince of Persia." Peter Safran is producing with Steve Bessen and Brian Austin Green. Fox also will produce in some capacity. Turner will be credited as executive producer. Frank Mastromauro also is executive producing.

Whhhhat. More old but awesome men getting some young stuff? lol. Brolin is at least 40 and Megan Fox is 22. Oh well, it's the look that matters not their actual age but damn, I could see Megan Fox being mistaken as his daughter in this movie lol.

Another medicore actress who keep her clothes on! Why the hell would I pay to see this, when Jessica Alba has already done this?

Plus, Jessica Alba already cemented, "Another medicore actress who keeps her clothes on" award for most of her films! We don't need another one stinking up the box-office.

The economy is sinking and they expect us to pay money to see another no-talent whore keep her clothes on?! Screw that I'll buy gas and download porn instead!

I would like to know what lunkamonster has seen her in to warrant the opinion of her being a mediocre actress? A Michael Bay movie? The movie where she was paid to play a Paris Hilton type that nobody saw? Yeah, it's not like she had to stretch herself very far there for those roles. She did EXACTLY what she was supposed to. Maybe she can't handle more, but maybe she can. The Diablo Cody movie might be more of a telling sign. Until then, I don't think she's really proven anything to us one way or another except for the fact that she's attractive.
