John Malkovich will square off against Josh Brolin in Jonah Hex , the Warner Bros. adaptation of the DC Comics property that begins production in April. Legendary Pictures has joined the project as co-financier and co-producer.
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. Jimmy Hayward ( Horton Hears a Who! ) is directing the script by Crank screenwriters Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor.
