Thomas Jane Discusses "Jonah Hex" Picture

A few days ago, FilmSchoolRejects got their hands on a shot of Thomas Jane as Jonah Hex, a DC comics character that is currently being turned into a movie by "Crank" creators, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.

At that point, there was no way to tell whether the shot was legit since Jane was not yet attached to the project. Neveldine also mentioned that he has no idea where the picture came from, but it definitely did not come from his production.

So is it a fake? Not really.

Jane got word that a shot of him as Jonah Hex has been passed around the internet and contacted FilmSchoolRejects to explain the picture's origin.

"Yeah, the pic is real all right – my pal Akiva Goldsman told me about the project and I fell in love with the idea right away," explained Jane. "Being a huge fan of all things Hex – I just couldn't help myself. I called up my buddy Chris Nelson and we spent a Saturday afternoon working up some make-up for this impromptu shoot and I fired a few pics off to Warners. How do people get a hold of this sh*t? It's a little embarrassing seeing my fanboy enthusiasm spilled all over the web, but great scripts don't come around too often, especially for characters I love."

So there you have it. Jane is a huge fan of the comic and took initiative to show that he's the right man for the job.
