Jonah Hex Movie Casting Extras in New Orleans

@grif - dude do you like anything or do you just have impossibly high standards, all your comments are always so negative, i'm not having a go i'm just wondering.

And its a western, they usually make big money$$$

And hey no reason to jump on grif, he's got his opinion like we do.

I (FRICK)ING GO TO SCHOOL IN NEW ORLEANS!!! AND LOOK NATIVE! I'M SO DOING THIS!!! HA! WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY!

thanks SirPrize, appreciate it

i think this film needs to be in the hands of a 'pulp-cult' director. i'm thinking the look and feel of brandon lee's CROW, or even DARK CITY, in the West with good ol' Hex!

milkman dan out...

haha! yes! see ya there Killian! and yes, I can ride

i know nothing about this character but if this movie is anything like a modern day western like no country for old men ill go see it and buy the dvd.

Hawk, quick question...are you sending the information we sent in, or does it go to Talazac directly?

@Hawk Did they say anything about where they were shooting?

hex is kool ill check his move out even though i dont know alot about him

It funny how the Cherokee nation is just letting all cultures into there tribe, and accepting anybody who wants too be native when they dont even know what being native is!?..I guess people settle for what there told and join in on the badwaggon....little off topic information

alright, thanks HAWK...and Minotauro, that's not really true...if you're truly part of a native american tribe, and can trace your lineage back, then the government recognizes you, and you get some sort of government compensation...my great grandmother was part of a native tribe (not cherokee) and my grandmother, mother, me, and my siblings are reognized as native americans...it's not some simple bandwagon...their are strict rules

I wouldn't be surprised Killian

No offense to any cherokee people...just something I heard..

Grif your worse than a little girl when it comes to complaining and whining. All you do is bitch about everything. Why dont you go join a "sand in my jiner forum". You be a star there. The punisher failed because it had a crap ass director and the villians were more like the three stooges than the ruthless scum bags that frank usually hunts down. Street fighter failed because they changed the story around so they could evolve it around some dumb ass side character(yes, chun li is not the main character nor was she ever meant to be) insead of using the original story that evolves around ryu and ken. In my opinion the spirit wasnt even a good comic, so you shouldnt expect it to be a good movie(so sick of wire fighting, jesus what happened to stuntmen and talented fighting). The main problem with turning a comic to a movie is that every director, writer, and actor thinks there ideas are better than the original, when there not. Not to mention that most of these people havent read any of the comics or "know" the characters like the readers do.

@ Minotauro. I don't take offense at what you said. I am proud of my heritage. I make my own way, and try to avoid government entanglements. I have Cherokee on my dad's side. That is way on down the line because my ancestor was one of the first english to encounter that Cherokee tribe. After the Revoltion he and a group of people moved near the Cherokee, and eventually he married one.

I am proud of my heritage, I have gone throgh great pains to trace my family back nearly 600 years.

@ Killian, I'm not sure, it is only a hunch that some of it will be in N.O. I just know that the company often casts for local productions. If it is an origin story, it might show him in the Civil War, if I remember correctly there was a rather large plantation home just out of town, can't remember the name. Maybe there will be a battle there or something IDK.

HAWK out.

As far as i know, Tony DeZuniga a Filipino comic artist who co-created Jonah Hex with John Albano, will somewhat supervise the filming of this movie...it was on the news here in the Philippines weeks ago...

hex is a total hardass, this movie should be awesome!

Steve McQueen as Josh Randall the bounty hunter in WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, started up in 1958, was an ex-confederate soldier.
He was blond and wore a smoke-brown/gray "revenger-style" stetson, without the cavalry tassles that Jonah hex has on his similar hat.
He was a squeaky-clean-cut, straight arrow, morally unambiguous hero.
The Eastwood "Man With No Name," and Good,Bad, and Ugly characters involved much anti-hero ambiguity and a messier world in the mid to late 1960's.

Jonah Hex seems to have been inspired by a blend of these characters.

"Josey Wales" of 1976 movie production date probably got much inspiration from Jonah Hex comics. Did the author Forrest Carter ever admit it in print?

Jonah Hex has roots in the 1950s and he has inspired some mainstream Hollywood influences in the 1970's, and he deserves his own movie ... and many more.
