John Malkovich talks Jonah Hex

For my money, everything we've heard and seen about the Jonah Hex movie has been kick ass. One thing has always bothered me, though. We kept hearing talk that it would be a supernatural western instead of a straight western, which would be my preference.  You'll note below that John Malkovich makes no references to any otherworldlyness taking place.

Anyway, Empire Magazine's Damon Wise recently got to speak with Malkovich at the Kralovy Vary film festival in the Czech Republic. Here's what he had to say about how he got role of Quentin Turnbull

"I love Josh Brolin – he's a friend of mine," Malkovich told us,"and he said, 'Would you be interested?' And I like the guy, Jimmy Hayward, who's directing him, so I said, 'Sure.' "

Jonah Hex in addition to Josh Brolin, and John Malkovich, will star Michael Shannon, Megan Fox, and Michael Fassbender.  You can read the Empire article in its entirety here
