Megan Fox’s Jonah Hex – Trailer

Josh Brolin, John Malkovich and Megan Fox star in director Jimmy Hayward’s Jonah Hex which is based on John Albano and Tony Dezuniga’s DC Comics series. Enjoy Jonah Hex trailer below and the film hits theaters on Friday, June 18.

Synopsis: Jonah Hex is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone… and anything. Having survived death, Jonah’s violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the “other side.” His only human connection is with Lila, whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. Jonah’s past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can’t refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull. But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah’s oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead.
