Recently the 2010 Toyfair at the Javits Convention Center in New York wrapped. They had all kinds of great toys from upcoming film like Clash of the Titans, Iron Man 2, Kick Ass, The Green Hornet, Alice in Wonderland, and (most importantly for the Emporium) Jonah Hex!
Now one of the things Ive been a little worried about is the lack of images, trailers, posters and what-have-you's for the film....especially since it was supposed to come out in April. Well, it looks like the release date has been changed to June, so they have a little more time to get things together.....but if the toys from the film are any indication of what the actors will look like, there may be nothing to fear....at least in terms of character design and costumes; John Malkovich as Quentin Turnbull (above) looks great! However, as far as story, visuals, and set design goes, that may have to fall in the wait and see category.
Comingsoon.net did a great article about the Toy Fair and has a gallery devoted especially to Jonah Hex (along with a bunch of other films as well!)
Enjoy!

Haven't they got it back to front Mark? A successful film usually encourages toy sales. I've been searching for new information on the film for some time. And now we get action figures! :)
I guess we'll have to exercise patience - or continue to do so.
Perhaps I do Paul, although now days I think the gut reaction is to flood the market with merchandise before the movie comes out just in case it does well, and for promotion.....but if the film tanks you tend to see a lot of that stuff on the half price table at KB Toys......
I keep thinking about the action figures they made for Dick Tracy and how you could find them for a long while after the film came out, collecting dust at Toys R Us and KB.
I hope I'm wrong though...
