Warner Bros. screened a trailer for the comic-book Western/horror film Jonah Hex today to a highly positive reception here at the San Diego Comic-Con.

The trailer managed to capture a nice blend of the Western asthetic with elements of horror (demons, possessions and a rather lovely shot of a raven pushing its way out of Hex's mouth).

Described as a "Western action picture," the filmmakers promise some supernatural elements, but nothing tremendously excessive -- like the army of the undead.

Hex's make-up seems like a very toned-down version of Harvey Dent's Two-Face with light burns around the cheek and a stretch of sinew connecting his upper lip to his lower.

Megan Fox looks, as always, absolutely stunning in whorish, Wild West prostitue garb.

One of the major elements of the trailer is the non-traditional weaponry weilded by Hex, including an old-timey flamethrower and dual-mounted Gattlin guns saddled across Hex's horse.

Overall, the trailer was good, visual fun and promises a worthwhile adaptation.
