A PUNISHING choice for JONAH HEX?

by Matt Holmes

Lexi Alexander (director of GREEN STREET and the upcoming PUNISHER: WAR ZONE) has been sent the script for the Warner Bros/DC comic book property JONAH HEX. Alexander admits to IGN that she is only one of several directors who have been sent the script to mull over after the studio pushed script writers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor off the directing duties of their gunslinging hero. Even though Neveldine and Taylor have departed the project, it's still their script that the potential directors have been reading. Naturally, Alexander admits she is very interested in the project because of Josh Brolin's possible attachment. Brolin is playing the wait and see game to see who WB hire. Hopefully, WB have sent the script to more experienced and established directors than Lexi because I firmly believe with Brolin on board, hardly anyone is out of their reach for this property now. Even The Coens, perhaps?
