Since Josh Brolin went on record to admit that Jonah Hex was a bad film that “got away from its original vision” he has been trying to recover his reputation.
But apparently he isn’t done making statements and this next one raises an eyebrow as he defends Megan Fox comparing her to Katharine Hepburn.
Get the Big Picture shares:
Brolin feels that like Hepburn, Fox just isn’t appreciated in her own time. According to Brolin:
“Katharine Hepburn, one of the most appreciated actresses today, was hated back in her heyday. She was box office poison … They didn’t understand her. Yet now we all look back and go, ‘Okay, she was incredible.’”
He went on to add: “I would love to be the person who puts Megan in a film in which she can actually do something interesting.”
Now at this point, I would say this is utter nonsense. This girl is nothing but a pretty face, which is the same criticism that Hepburn got in her day.
But maybe one day a project will come out and Fox will blow us all away and people will talk about that film wondering where she has been hiding this talent.
I’m just not holding my breath.

GL says: September 15, 2010 at 12:31 pm The problem with Ms. Fox in which Brolin completely ignored is that early in her career Hepburn won an Academy Award for Best Actress, not Supporting, just Best Actress. Fox unfortunally doesn’t have that power early in her career, and she may be a pretty face but that is probably the only connection that those two should ever share. Hepburn was critized for many things, but unlike Fox, she delivered.

So yea, there may be something to Brolin comments. Sorry, I cannot remember where the Mickey Rourke article was to site as source. Old fuzzy memory and all you know.
