Oh dear oh dear. Remember Ghost Rider? Rubbish wasn’t it? A badly CGI’d Nic Cage rolling about and taking down crappy MTV villains while comedy Hammer Horror mist floated about and Sam Neill did lots of expositional mumbling. Bloody awful. In it’s favour though, it was undeniably fun. Cage and the crew obviously realising the sheer stupidity of the material and the script and just rolling with it, adding a charm that made it far more enjoyable than it had any right to be. Suffice to say, Jonah Hex leaves its sense of humour at the door….
Since Horton Hears A Who man Jimmy Hayward was announced as director, bizzarre choices seem to be a way of life on the set of upcoming supernatural western Jonah Hex, and they don’t come much odder than this.
Eschewing the more usual Danny Elfman/John Williams/70s rock soundtrack choices favoured by most productions, Hayward has gone with concept metal titans Mastodon!
