Mastodon Comments On "Jonah Hex" Movie Score

posted Jun 17, 2010 at 3:55 PM by xFiruath.  (5 Comments)

Mastodon has issued the following statement about creating the musical score for the upcoming movie "Jonah Hex:"

"The new movie Jonah Hex starring Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, and Megan Fox features a thunderous score composed by Mastodon and Oscar nominated Marco Beltrami (The Hurt Locker, 3:10 to Yuma). Mastodon were personally asked by the film’s director, Jimmy Hayward to sore the film.

"For their first venture into the realm of film, Mastodon would record the tracks spontaneously while viewing the movie footage, proving to be a daring and daunting way of creating music together over a short period of time. The resulting sessions yielded incredibly exciting results produced in a completely different way than they normally would approach writing and recording for a Mastodon album. The 6-track EP from the original motion picture score for Jonah Hex will be released on June 29th, featuring four new tracks: 'Death March,' 'Clayton Boys,' 'Indian Theme,' and 'Train Assault' with two bonus versions available through iTunes and all other digital outlets."

You can also check out the video teaser trailer for the album below.

Mastodon and Megan Fox. Now that's a match made in heaven!
Frankly I'm not too excited about the movie, but I'm definitely excited to hear what Mastodon's done.
I'll be getting the soundtrack for sure.

I doubt if the movie is as gritty as the comic. Hex is one dark b@stard! Didn't know Mas was doing the score, but the combo of that and a hot POA like Fox definately hightens my curiosity.....

Wolf: It's rare that anything John Malkovich does actually sucks.
