I was as excited as the next guy when I heard the news that Josh Brolin would be starring in JONAH HEX for directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. But now it seems that might not be happening. Collider caught up with Brolin, who's out promoting MILK, and asked him about JONAH HEX, which led to this interesting exchange:

Q: You will be playing a comic book character soon. You’re doing Jonah Hex, right?

Josh: Nope.

Q: You’re not doing Jonah Hex?

Josh: Don’t know yet.

Q: Have you had meetings with Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor?

Josh: No.

This is all very strange considering when the news broke, it was specifically indicated that Brolin had signed a deal and wasn't just "attached." Now, for whatever reason, Brolin seems to be getting cold feet even later admitting in that same interview, "I don’t know if [JONAH HEX] is the thing to do. Got me all fucked up now…" This is obviously developing so stay tuned as more news on this breaks...

That fucking sucks. They should go with Jane now, he's their best option if they can't get Brolin. Then get an A-Lister for another part and you got yourself a good, marketable film that could make some cash for Tom and get him some mainstream notoriety.

Precisely wtf is wrong with casting Jane? He clearly wants it, I know nothing of the comic but someone of Jane's calibre who makes the extra effort to show interest should be strongly considered. Brolin, no harm to him, doesn't really seem to fussed

Looking at Brolin's three words or less answers, it just seemed he wanted to move about his business and not get caught up with movie business.

Actor isn't the problem
Even though I'm a fan of the comic book, I have to admit that I don't think the character is big enough to warrent a film right now. Brolin and Jane would be great, but I can't see actors of that caliber jumping on to a project like Hex. Direct to video seems like a greater possibilty with some one like Casper Van Dien in the role LOL!

un-fuck yourself, brolin
It would be the right thing to do! It's a great iconic character and Brolin is the perfect fit for it. Unless the script is lousy, but i dont see that happening if this thing is handled by those CranK maniacs.

I agree with the original post in casting Thomas Jane for Hex or possibly Nathan Fillion.



Also, where is the extra tidbit?
