The seemingly endless march of comics to film adaptations continues with Warner Bros announcing they have signed up Jimmy Hayward, who helmed the recent animated flick Horton Hears a Who, to direct a live action movie based on DC’s Western-meets-supernatural series Jonah Hex, which has seen something of a revival in the last few years with both new comics and classic reprint collections. The film is on the fast-track and expected to start production this spring. (via The Hollywood Reporter)
