From the trades:
Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have dropped out as the directors of "Jonah Hex," the DC Comics property that is expected to headline "W." and "Milk" star Josh Brolin as a partly disfigured gunslinger and bounty hunter.
Neveldine and Taylor wrote the script, but their exit as directors was attributed to "creative differences." The studio is moving quickly to set a new director, determined to keep Brolin in the fold for a spring start. Neveldine and Taylor are best known for writing and directing the Jason Statham starrer "Crank."
"Jonah Hex" is produced by Andrew Lazar's Mad Chance and Akiva Goldsman's Weed Road.
I'm sure they'll find somebody to direct it. Meanwhile I have heard from my contacts deep within the bowels of Hollywood, that Josh Brolin is also interested in another character that has some...fantasy elements attached to him. But I'll leave it at that until I can get a solid confirmation and see if the project picks up more steam.
Bust out those six shooters and get to drawin' when you follow me at Twitter!

I hope they make this. One of DC's few great characters. Brolin would do Jonah justice.
I heard he was interested in playing Snake Plissken too!
