Pretty disappointing news this evening as Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank, Pathology) have dropped out as the directors of Jonah Hex, the DC Comics property that is expected to headline Josh Brolin as a partly disfigured gunslinger and bounty hunter. Neveldine and Taylor wrote the script, but their exit as directors was attributed to "creative differences." Warner Bros. is moving quickly to set a new director, determined to keep Brolin in the fold for a spring start. Click the title for more info on HEX.
I'm not so sure that this is the best character to base a movie on. It feels like it will be like the "Punisher" or "Ghost Rider".Not very good (my opinion). I'm waiting for a studio to put up Bazillions of dollars to do a "Superfriends vs. The Legion of Doom" movie with all the heroes and villans going at it to save the planet.
"Who's with me" ??
I think he could be a great character to base a movie on. However, it doesn't seem very likely that the movie based on him will be very good. From this news it sounds like the studio has their own idea of what Jonah Hex should be.
