7:50 AM CENTRAL: The boys over at MTV's SPLASH PAGE caught up with Megan Fox who had the following to say about next Summer's JONAH HEX...

* "They tweaked the script so there might be a sequel if necessary...I think there might [be a sequel]."

* "It’s a dark, no-nonsense, no bull**** comic book movie. It’s rough, it’s humble...it’s bad-ass."

* (On her character, Leila) "She’s a prostitute. It’s sort of like a post-Civil War apocalyptic western — and, unfortunately for women, that’s how they made their living back then. She’s a tough, no-nonsense prostitute. I was really happy with it."

Can't wait! JONAH HEX hits theaters on August 6, 2009.
