News recently came, from The Hollywood Reporter, of a film adaptation to the horror-western comic book series ‘Jonah Hex’, and that director Jimmy Hayward (’Horton Hears a Who’) would take the helm.

Well, Josh Brolin, the star of the upcoming film, sat down with Collider. Here is what Brolin had to say in regard to the film, and it’s director.

“I can’t even answer that. I just think that Jimmy is truly brilliant. I was goin to talk about that earlier. He got an e-mail to me somehow, someway. He wasn’t somebody we were even beginning to look at and I read the e-mail and was completely blown away by it. I had to meet the guy. I ended up meeting the guy and I said “I think this is the guy. I don’t know why.” But I think he’s a brilliant, brilliant filmmaker. I can’t wait to see what he does. So I don’t know how to answer your question, but I can’t wait to see what he does.”
