Jimmy Hayward, co-director of Horton Hears a Who!, is looking at 10 days of re-shoots for his upcoming live action debut, the summer action film Jonah Hex. Francis Lawrence, who directed I Am Legend, will be helping him during the process. Heat Vision Blog is reporting that stars Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox and Michael Fassbender will be a part of the 10 day reshoot in Los Angeles. “Although no test screenings have taken place, the studio has decided to work on story and action during the shoots, working in 12 pages of additional script mixed in with some re-shoots.” There are conflicting reports that those shoots will help a film that didn’t turn out so well or that that they are geared to add some weight to stand next to the other big-budget films of the summer.
Plot: In the Wild West, a scarred bounty hunter tracks a voodoo practitioner bent on liberating the South by raising an army of the undead.
Jonah Hex hits theaters June 18th, 2010.
