We have news today that Lexi Alexander is considering taking the helm of Jonah Hex. We get wind of this news thanks to our friends at the movieweb:
Director Lexi Alexander (Punisher: War Zone) is already eyeing her next project, according to a rumor by JoBlo, which says that she’s considering the director’s chair for Warner Bros.’ adaptation of the DC Comic Jonah Hex.
“I like it even more that Mr. Josh Brolin is still attached. Who knows if he’ll stay, but it’s more exciting than I thought. You get a story like this you think, ‘Oh God, I’m going to be doing the same thing over and over again.’ but it’s really, really interesting.”
We were surprised and deflated around these parts when we learned that Neveldine and Taylor were no longer attached to Jonah Hex. The guys seemed to have a fire in their bones about the project and a vision that I considered to be excellent. Sadly the studio was not on board.
I am unsure of the ability of Lexi Alexander and cannot comment on her skills; I have yet to see any of her works. Campea seemed to enjoy Punisher War Zone – but I have yet to do so.
After noodling through her IMDB info however I discovered that she used to be a karate champion! If her directing is as good as her kata – everything will turn out fine.
