An official synopsis for the big-screen adaptation of the supernaturally-themed Western DC Comics title “Jonah Hex” has hit the web, which you can check out below.

“Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone…and anything. Having survived death, Jonah’s violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the ‘other side.’ His only human connection is with Leila (Megan Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah’s past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can’t refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah’s oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead. Based on the legendary graphic novel, ‘Jonah Hex’ is an epic adventure thriller about one man’s personal quest for redemption against the vast canvas of the battle between good and evil.”

Debuting in 1972 in DC’s “All-Star Western”, Hex is a former Confederate soldier whose face is horrifically scarred. He wanders the West acting as a bounty hunter and living by a personal code to avenge wrongdoings and protect the innocent. The title, though initially a Western story, occasionally crossed over into science fiction and horror ever since it debuted.

Starring Brolin, Fox, and Malkovich, “Jonah Hex” is slated to hit theaters June 18th, 2010.
