Jonah Hex may finally be moving forward, with Hollywood Elsewhere citing multiple sources as telling them that Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men) has been signed on for the title role in the Warner Bros. film.

The site’s editor is confident, claiming that the “deal is sealed.” However, the studio is yet to confirm the rumor, and Brolin’s agent claims the actor is not attached to the project.

Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are helming the project. It is based on a western comic book anti-hero – a middle-aged bounty hunter and gunslinger who deals with supernatural stuff.
