As if this film couldn’t get any more bad ass!
John Malkovich will go head to head against Josh Brolin in Jonah Hex, the Warner Bros. adaptation of the DC Comics property that begins production in April.
Malkovich will play Turnbull, a wealthy Southern plantation owner whose son is killed by Union soldiers during the Civil War. He blames Hex, a former confederate soldier-turned-hardened bounty hunter and gunslinger.
As previously announced, Jimmy Hayward (Horton Hears a Who) is directing the script by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank).
Malkovich, most recently seen in Burn After Reading and Changeling, is currently presiding over the Mexico opening of The Good Canary, a play written by Zack Helm and directed by Malkovich. The play, which bowed in France, was translated into Spanish, and Diego Luna is starring in the feature.
