Josh Brolin's getting offered a wide variety of roles now and his name's even been mentioned as connected to the Jonah Hex movie written by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank). Neveldine and Taylor were attached to direct but have left the project over creative differences. So, is Brolin going to star in that film? "Nope" was his first response, followed by, "Don’t know yet."
Brolin hasn't had any meetings on the movie and he's just not sure if the part of Jonah Hex, based on the comic book character, is something he wants to take on. "Don’t know. I have a very tough time deciding, except for Milk. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I don’t know. It’s a very good time. It’s a very good time and I don’t want to slight anybody and I don’t want to insult anybody, but the fact of the matter is with more decisions comes a little more pressure. For me, I just try and find that thing that really resonates. There’s one thing that Tony Scott’s doing that I love and that I really want to do, and trying to find the timing and all that…"
But his indecision over Jonah Hex isn't just about the timing and the fact studios are gearing up for a lot of production at the beginning of 2009. "Not entirely. No, no. A little, little bit, a little bit because of more possibilities and all that, but no," admitted Brolin. "I think Jonah Hex is a really, really interesting story. I think it would be risky also, which I like, and I don’t know if it’s the thing to do. [Laughing] Got me all f---ed up now."
