Surprise: Brolin Ain't Proud of JONAH HEX

It's not every day a filmmaker or actor will openly say they're not happy with a recent film they've done. Usually there's some tap-dancing around pointed questions in an effort to not only protect their own reputation and the studio's investment, but also to avoid disparaging others who worked on the film.

So actor Josh Brolin gets props for his answer to MTV Splash Page's question: Are you proud of Jonah Hex?

"Now that I don't have to promote it? . . . No," was Brolin's answer.

In the run-up to the movie, Brolin's sales pitch was that the movie had an absurdest sensibility. With a few months distance between him and the movie, he came clean to Splash Page as to what exactly he was talking about.

"That's what I told the marketing people at Warner Bros. I said, 'I can't lie about this, so I have to look for a truism that I can go with," he said. "I do think that if you go in there kind of like with Piranha 3-D'— when you go to see that movie you go, 'This is ridiculous and this is fun' — so if you went into Jonah Hex with that, I think you had a good time."

At the same time he diplomatically acknowledges that everyone who worked on the film set out to make a movie that was quite a bit different from the end result.

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS in Georgia?

Savannah Now, the website of Savannah Georgia's Morning Herald newspaper, reports that 20th Century Fox is scouting locations around the city for filming on Matthew Vaughn's prequel film X-Men: First Class.

According to Jay Self, the city of Savannah's director of Tourism and Film Services, producers for the film have applied for permits and begun other preparations for filming at such locations as Tybee Island, Thunderbolt and Savannah.

Local officials are said to be preparing for the filming, should the producers follow through and use the named locations. Self said decision-making factors for the filmmakers include how well the locations are suited to the action and stunt needs of the film, as well as the ability to convert the locations into the 1960s setting of the film.

TRANSFORMERS 3 - 3D or not 3D?

A source said to be close to director Michael Bay tells ScreenRant.com that Transformers 3 is not being filmed in 3D.

Reportedly initial photography made use of 3D equipment, but left them behind when the filming moved to Chicago. Details of why the decision was made are sketchy but it may be due to the constraints the larger 3D rigs place on a filmmaker.

New GREEN LANTERN Details?

Green Lantern super spy Pietro Filipponi has filed a new report focusing on the costume from the movie, this time at DailyBLAM.com.

While it does not contain the usual spoiler images, Filipponi says that he's seen "several high resolutions stills and storyboards which may be associated with Martin Campbell’s superhero adaptation." Reportedly the costume will look a bit different than the one that was revealed by Entertainment Weekly in July, and will hew more closely to the black and green two-tone that we're used to from the comics. He also reports that fans will get a look when Warner Bros pushes out a trailer for the film with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1.

Short of that he's offered a description of what he saw.

• As we already knew, the suit appears as a hard-light construct from the ring, although the arms, legs and waist areas are a deep black, with clear lines separating green segments and black.
• Those green striations in the costume that we saw in the EW image are energy bleeds with subside as Jordan gains mastery of the ring.
• The green torso segment does not extend down to form trunks, as in the classic Gil Kane design.
• The ring itself is silver with a green jewel on the front from which the energy emits.

For more descriptions, including the look of the energy batteries for recharging, and the constructs Jordan creates during the movie, click through for the complete report.

Thanks to AntoBlueberry for the submission.
