WHO'S Helming Jonah Hex? And will Brolin Still Star?

Besides Hayward, Josh Brolin is also attached to the project, but hasn't exactly been TOTALLY committed to the movie.

Brolin is one of the modern day great actors in my opinion. He can play anything and he still looks like he can break your jaw. I try and use his "I'm making you my personal project" line from No Country For Old Men at least twice a day. He's just too bad ass, that being said... He will play Jonah Hex! Cha Ching! My tickets bought!

Jonah hex the feature film will be the first live-action debut from Director Jimmy Hayward, the Director fo the CGI mega hit, Horton Hears A Who. Yes, you heard the correctly. From Who to BLAM BLAM PUNK! Hayward got his start animating the mega classic... Reboot? Then he moved on to Pixar, and after that he started "Hearing Whos." That's coool with me, I value versatility. Plus, Horton made 154 million last year, so hopefully he'll save some doh for the budget of this adaptation of the supernatural Western epic of a comic book. Hayward is reportedly guiding Brolin through the role which will make him a block buster film star... maybe? I think so. I personally beleive Westerns are coming back with a vengeance, and what better than the future mixed with the present mega hit of comic adaptations?

THR says the script by intended screenwriter-directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor will stick around, though Hayward will make a few tweaks. The pair left due to "creative differences" last fall, which basically means they hated each other...

Hears to jonah hearing Whos, and then blowing them away! Like Cinema Blend says, Hayward got hired for a reason, and we all know Brolin is the best for this role so let's hope it does well, and ushers in a new era of Westerns, comic adaptations, and supernatural soldiers pulling six shooters and tommy hawks on anything and everything. God bless America... -saintc
