"...and introducing Josh Brolin as Harvey Dent"

Josh Brolin wonders if Diane Lane finds scars sexy...

RopeofSilicon has a new image of Josh Brolin as the titular hero of this summer's fantasy-western Jonah Hex, which is a good sign. The post also mentions that a trailer is FINALLY arriving [edit]next Friday, and will be attached to the new Nightmare on Elmstreet film. I really like seeing Brolin in tough western roles like this. He was wonderfully understated in No Country for Old Men, and didn't get nearly the praise he deserved for it (to be fair, Bardem and Jones were better). Plus, if this film turns out to be a stinker, we'll get to see Brolin in western mode later this year in the Coen brothers' True Grit remake, which should be quite the film considering the cast and crew. I know in certain circles this isn't the most popular opinion, but I never saw anything special in Brolin's Oscar-nominated turn in Milk; however, I look forward to seeing what he'll deliver with two very different explorations into the Wild West mythos.
