John Malkovich will play the nemesis of Jonah Hex in the movie, a man named Turnbull who blames the scarred gunslinger for the death of his son during the Civil War. When Hex encounters Turnbull years after the war the older man is a successful plantation owner.
There's also some business news to report: Legendary Pictures, the same company that bankrolled and produced 300, Superman Returns and The Dark Knight, has stepped up to do the same for Hex. Having cash is always a good thing.

After helming the CG animated Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who director Jimmy Hayward wants to take a trip into the old west by making Jonah Hex his next assignment. Even though they exited the project last November over creative differences, Warner Bros. still wants to use Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's script as the foundation for the movie, which is rumored to include a supernatural element to it. However, it's likely that Hayward may oversee a rewrite of the screenplay before it goes into production (which the studio wants to happen later this year.)
Finally, Josh Brolin remains attached to play Jonah Hex. [Full story]
