Will Arnett Takes on Serious Role in ‘Jonah Hex’

Published

With the film back behind cameras (I Am Legend helmer Francis Lawrence is consulting on the reshoots), there really hasn’t been that much to report on Warner Bros. Pictures’ Jonah Hex, the live-action adaptation of the DC comicbook. Today a new interview with star/comedian Will Arnett popped online where he talks about taking on a serious role (for once). “[My character] is much more serious,” he tells SuperheroHype. “I hope. Otherwise I’ve failed miserably at my job.” He explains that it’s actually quite a dark film. “‘Jonah Hex’ is a very kind of heavy movie…It’s dark and actioney… [A] real fun, dark, sweaty movie.” You can read the full interview by clicking the link. Hex fires his guns on June 18, 2010.
Hex, known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood.

“Hex” first appeared in the early 1970s in the issues of “All-Star Western” before graduating to his own series in 1977 that ran for about 10 years. A new series was launched in 2005. The character also had a run in the 1990s that combined the Western genre with supernatural elements.

‘Monster Mash’ Trailer – Michael Madsen Assembles His Own Monster Squad in New Indie Horror Movie

Published

Michael Madsen Monster Mash

Universal’s “Dark Universe” may have gone up in flames right out of the gate, but that’s not stopping other studios from (unofficially) making their own Universal Monsters mashups.

All the classic monsters unite to brawl in The Asylum’s Monster Mash, which is coming to select theaters as well as VOD outlets at home on the same day, Friday, March 29, 2024.

Who brings them all together, you ask? Michael Madsen, of course!

In Monster Mash, “A dying Dr. Frankenstein is determined to meld the world’s strongest monsters into a singular, unstoppable creation. Now the monsters—including Dracula, Werewolf, and the Invisible Man—must work together to stop him before it’s too late.”

The film will be opening theatrically in the following locations:

  • Laemmle – Glendale, California
  • Hickory Ridge Cinemas – Brunswick, Ohio
  • Trylon Cinema – Minneapolis, Minnesota
  • O Cinema – South Beach, Miami, Florida
  • Aurora Cineplex – Roswell, Georgia

Ethan Daniel Corbett and Emma Reinagel also star in The Asylum’s Monster Mash.

The film is written and directed by Jose Prendes (The Exorcists).

You can watch the Monster Mash trailer below. Monster Squad this is not, to say the least, but the low budget monster mashup does look like it could at least deliver a good time. Michael Madsen chewing the scenery as Victor Frankenstein while Dracula, The Invisible Man and a computer-generated Wolfman wreak havoc? We’ve been promised worse times than that!

“The Invisible Man… I just need a piece of his skin,” Madsen says at one point in the trailer. And it was in that moment that our weekend plans were decided. Find the film on VOD Friday.
