The Hollywood Reporter says Jimmy Hayward, who directed the animated
Horton Hears a Who! will make his live-action debut with
Jonah Hex, the Warner Bros. weird western based on the DC Comics character.
Josh Brolin is attached to star in the film, which previously had Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor ("Crank") on board as directors. The duo, who also wrote the script, bowed out over creative differences in November. The studio, which hopes to put the movie into production in March or April, went on a fast-track search, putting together a short list that included such names as Andy Fickman and McG before narrowing it down to Hayward.
The character of Hex, known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood. One incarnation of his comic book series saw the Western genre combined with supernatural elements, and it's this aspect that was featured in Neveldine and Taylor's script. The studio will likely keep the script, though it's expected that Hayward will put his stamp on it.

Variety reports Myriad Pictures is reteaming with comicbook publisher Studio 407 to bring the horror series
The Night Projectionist to the bigscreen.
"Projectionist" marks the second title produced under Studio 407's first-look deal with Myriad -- the first being the comicbook
Hybrid, which is tentatively scheduled to begin production later this year.
Projectionist's story takes place on Halloween Eve in a small-town movie theater, where an all-night Draculathon draws throngs of moviegoers who suddenly find themselves locked inside the theater, which is slowly filling with vampires.
Myriad's horror credits include
Jeepers Creepers 2. The first issue of
The Night Projectionist miniseries will hit shelves in February.
