From first time director Thomas Jane (The Punisher), comes a PSA about not picking up half-dead people in the desert…

It’s an obvious connection, but if we’re about to learn anything from these first photos from Thomas Jane’s directorial debut Dark Country, it is that its going to be a very dark film. It is also going to be on the forefront of filmmakers doing new and cool things with 3D.

Thomas Jane is currently in post production on at least two films, one of which he’s directing. For most actors that would be enough for one calendar year, but Jane apparently likes to work. A lot. So his 2009 has just gotten even busier…

Thomas Jane deserves more respect. Allow us to present the first trailer from his upcoming movie Give ‘Em Hell Malone as further evidence of this fact.

Today, Variety is telling us something that we already knew, but that you may not.

Thomas Jane is about to seem like an incredibly busy guy. This month, he began work on his major motion picture directorial debut.
