]]> jmmy-hayward-horton-hears-a-who Jimmy Hayward, who directed the animated "Horton Hears a Who!" will take a different turn with his next project. He’ll be directing the live-action "Jonah Hex" from Warner Bros.

Josh Brolin is attached to star in the western-centric film, which previously had Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor ("Crank") on board as directors. The duo, who penned the script, bowed out over creative differences in November.

Hex is a DC Comics character known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform. He’s a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood. There’s also a supernatural element to the character.

Quite the difference from "Horton"! And yeah, I can totally see Josh Brolin in that role.

"Jonah Hex" is scheduled for a 2010 release date.
