'Punisher: War Zone' Director For 'Jonah Hex'?
Jonah Hex is going for record. The film is about to rack up more incarnations of itself in about two months than Watchmen did in a decade. So what is it this time? Well, Latino Review sat down with Punisher: War Zone director Lexi Alexander, who revealed that now she’s been sent a script for the film! As you may or may not know, the screenplay for Jonah Hex was written by Crank/Pathology scribes Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, who were set to direct until a few weeks ago when the two run afoul of some – you guessed it – “creative differences,” and then hit the road. A similar thing happened with casting when Thomas Jane dressed himself up like the disfigured anti-hero in a bid for the role – a bid on which Neveldine and Taylor politely passed, before handing the role to Josh Brolin. I’ve yet to see War Zone but it looks pretty off-the-wall. Do you think Alexander is well equipped for this job?
