Josh Brolin has signed on to play comic book anti-hero
Jonah Hex, according to
Hollywood Elsewhere.
“Jonah Hex” graphic novel is created by writer
John Albano and artist
Tony DeZuniga. The big screen adaptation will be directed by
Mark Neveldine and
Brian Taylor (“
Crank“) for Warner Bros.
This has yet to be confirmed.
Jonah Hex is an American Civil War veteran with scars covering the right side of his face. The movie will be a sort of sci-fi western, even though the comic book is not sci-fi at all.
