		<description><![CDATA[Those "creative differences" we spoke about yesterday regarding the sudden dismissal of CRANK creators Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor from the upcoming Warner Bros./DC tentpole JONAH HEX may well translate as "the script sucked and they didn't know what they were doing".



Just ask star Josh Brolin who candidly tells MTV exactly that...
“When I first read it I thought, oh my God it’s awful!” Brolin exclaimed to MTV News. “And then I had a moment a week later and I thought why is it awful? Maybe the thing to do is to do the most awful movie I can find.”
And the following quotes are what I find even more interesting...
"But once I started putting people in my mind and saying what if I put Malkovich in this role then what does this movie become? Now let’s put this producer and director on it and think about how it plays out. Then it becomes fun. Now I love that movie. If you have a great filmmaker come in then suddenly these gags and characters become interesting.”
If he started putting new directors on it, if great filmmakers suddenly come in? Does that mean Brolin has effectively told WB to ditch those CRANK guys ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CRANK directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have bailed on the big DC Comics/Warner Bros. tentpole JONAH HEX because of "creative differences" say Variety.

They leave behind the script they collaborated on and lead Josh Brolin, possibly the most sought out actor in Hollywood right now.



Warner Bros. are quickly looking to fill the directing gap because if they are to keep Brolin the movie must start filming in March. Which be warned at this point usually sees someone like Brett Ratner (RUSH HOUR) or John Moore (MAX PAYNE) get themselves attached.

JONAH HEX revolves around a partially disfigured Clint Eastwood style gunslinger and bounty hunter who is often depicted in an old school spaghetti western environment crossed with sci-fi and pulp elements. It's a big property in WB/DC canon and the initial hiring of the CRANK guys signalled a heavy action orientated adaptation.

James Mangold (3:10 TO YUMA) would be a guy I would go to straight away for this, especially with him being out of work right now. Others would be Christopher Nolan (might as well offer it to him), The Coen Brothers (who might like the chance of working with Brolin again but would probably do a page 1 re-write) and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jeffrey Wells over at Hollywood Elsewhere is reporting that Josh Brolin, the OWF actor of 2007 and who is just about to be seen playing George W. Bush... is signed on to play the comic book Western anti-hero JONAH HEX.

For Brolin it would be his second cowboy role in quick succession after playing opportunist Llewelyn Moss in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, a modern day western/thriller. He was also star of the Western show Into the West in 2005.



Although Warner Bros. are 100% in denial over the deal, Wells is trusting his close friends and sources, sticking to his guns that Brolin will lead the graphic novel adaptation about a scarred and damaged gunslinger in the late 19th century who is a mix between the Clint Eastwood characters Josey Wells &#38; The Man With No Name.

If it is true, it's a hell of a coup for CRANK writer/directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor who may have just secured the most in demand leading actor outside of Christian Bale in Hollywood today. And for a pulpy, b-movie style Western which we believe will have sci-fi undertones, it's a risk from Brolin... but he's not one to shy away from controversial roles.

		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday, we heard that Brett Ratner had been offered the chance to direct the new CONAN reboot over at Nu Image but today Latino Review offer us some light at the end of the tunnel and a glimmer of hope that he may not end up with the gig.

The site tell us that Ratner has indeed met with the producers behind the film but has not yet been selected to direct. The process is still on-going and they have met and are still to meet several other directors, the names of which they have also managed to get their hands on...



Neil Marshall (THE DESCENT, DOG SOLDIERS, DOOMSDAY)

We have heard Marshall was interested in this property before, his movies certainly have the feeling of a 80's mentality about them. I wouldn't mind seeing this guy get the chance to do this actually.

James McTeigue (V FOR VENDETTA, upcoming NINJA ASSASSIN)

The pet prodigy of The Wachowski's, McTeigue has less experience than some of the names on the list and I honestly don't believe he has yet directed a movie he hasn't been nurtured through but you can't deny his great eye for visuals. Not sure about his structure though, but he has ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not really sure how to explain this one.

The Los Angeles Times got hold of several photo's from the set of Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's sequel to their action film Crank, starring Jason Statham and er, his own head mask.

This completely unconvincing but altogether creepy mask is worn by stunt man Dave Kilde.

Though before all that, you just have to read this ridiculous plot line. It's bad enough that he seemingly survived the impossible from the original film but now he has a huge head and is running around with no heart? I'm presuming there must be more to it than that?
In the high-octane sequel, hitman Chev Chelios' (Statham) launches himself on an electrifying chase through Los Angeles in pursuit of the Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakam, Efren Ramirez, Clifton Collins Jr. and Bai Ling co-star.

		<description><![CDATA[There's many different types of Westerns, we had many variations of them last year alone.

You have the Terrence Malick-like revisionist western (The Assassination of Jesse James), there's the old school gritty Hollywood western (3:10 to Yuma), there's the character drama (There Will Be Blood) and the Civil War Western (Seraphim Falls) but one variation of the genre we didn't see was the Spaghetti Western.

And that just happens to be my favourite.

Last Summer we heard the Crank writing/directing duo Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor had struck a deal with DC Comics and Warner Bros. to bring the classic (and recently revived) Western comic character Jonah Hex to the big screen (OWF Article: July 2007).

The good news today is that the script for the movie is complete and the duo hope to get the movie off the ground once they have finished shooting Crank 2 and proudly they proclaim it to be "the best script we've written" in an interview with Shock Till You Drop.

Rumors persist (from a leaked script) that the supernatural and alien aspect of the character (it is a comic character after all) as mentioned by the pair in the summer has been dropped, and it's just going to ...]]></description>
