Citing “creative differences,” Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have left the production of “Jonah Hex” according to Variety. The two were set to co-direct the movie based on their adaptation of the popular comic books series.
Jonah Hex is an anti-hero in stories set in the Old West, horribly scarred down one side of his face where he was burned by a red-hot tomahawk. He fought in the Civil War, and is often shown wearing a ragged Confederacy uniform, and has the sort of cynical, surly attitude you’d expect from a Sergio Leone Clint Eastwood film.
Warner Brother is producing the big-screen adaptation of “Hex” and is currently seeking a new director for the project. Warner wants to keep the film on its current production schedule so actor Josh Brolin can star as Jonah Hex.
