Jonah Hex movie in the works

http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=6050

I'd like to see a Hex movie, but I think they could've done better than the writers and directors of Crank.

I'm not sure. All they've announced is the writer and director so far.

I haven't heard who's going to be in it yet, but they said they wanted to add supernatural elements to the story. Sounded like Wild West Constantine to me.

Crank was hella fun! I have no quibbles with these guys directing.
Question is, how will they show Jonah's disfigurement on screen?

I don't remember reading supernatural aspects when I've read some Jonah Hex comics. They didn't know what they were doing when Constantine came out and I doubt they know whats going on with Jonah Hex.

Josh Brolin is Jonah Hex?

Source:Hollywood Elsewhere October 9, 2008

Hollywood Elsewhere reports that Josh Brolin, who can be seen in next week's W., has signed on to star in Warner Bros. Pictures' Jonah Hex. This has yet to be confirmed by the studio, so stay tuned.

From Crank writers/directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the film is based on the DC Comics title in which Hex, known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood

Horton Helmer Directing Jonah Hex
Source:The Hollywood Reporter January 6, 2009

Jimmy Hayward, who directed the animated Horton Hears a Who! will make his live-action debut with Jonah Hex, the Warner Bros. western based on the DC Comics character.

Josh Brolin is attached to star in the film, which previously had Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank) on board as directors. The duo, who also wrote the script, bowed out over creative differences in November.

The studio hopes to put the movie into production in March or April.

The character of Hex, known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood. One incarnation of his comic book series saw the Western genre combined with supernatural elements, and it's this aspect that was featured in Neveldine and Taylor's script.
