Warner Bros. Saddling Up Jonah Hex

Warner Bros. Pictures is saddling up to bring DC Comics' Western anti-hero comic book Jonah Hex to the big screen, with filmmakers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor on board to adapt, says The Hollywood Reporter.

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.

"Hex" first appeared in the early 1970s in the issues of "All-Star Western" before graduating to his own series in 1977 that ran for about 10 years. A new series was launched in 2005. The character also had a run in the 1990s that combined the Western genre with supernatural elements.

The filmmakers are not making a straight-ahead Western but plan to develop the character with some of the supernatural overtones in the hopes of creating a franchise.

Neveldine and Taylor wrote and directed Crank, which starred Jason Statha

Already knew about this for months & there starting production in April. Hex is one of my favorite DC characters & I think he deserves his own movie no doubt. Though, I kinda skeptical on the director for it.

She directed The Punisher. That's like Bruce Kailsh working on Super Sentai.

If Clint Eastwood isn't available to play Jonah, here's my list that should be considered for the role: Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Viggo Mortenson, or Thomas Jane. Personally, I don't see the need for supernatural or sci-fi elements; a straight Western in the style of Sergio Leone or John Ford is how a Hex film should be made.

Lexi Alexander you mean? Are you lost-minded? It's being directed by Jimmy Hayward, who only has experience in directing animation. That's why I'm skeptical on him for this particular film.

Josh Brolin is playing Hex. Read your news next time.
