Holy Crow! Winds of rumors are swirling about that Jonah Hex will be played by Josh Brolin! We get the following scoop thanks to our friends at comingsoon:
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.
“Jonah Hex,” created by by writer John Albano and artist Tony DeZuniga, 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.
Well Neveldine and Taylor have certainly scored with this casting. If you want a bad ass western lead, you will be hard pressed to find any better than Josh Brolin. This is a glorious casting indeed and I certainly hope this news gets confirmed by the dudes; because I want it to be true.
