Hollywood Buzz: Cruise, Denzel & Cronenberg together; DC’s Jonah Hex coming to big screen

Josh Brolin and John Malkovich are onboard for DC Comics’ Jonah Hex. This is not your typical comic book character. Hex is set in the old west, and was created by writer John Albano and artist Tony DeZuniga. He is a bounty hunter who is usually depicted tattered Confederate Army jacket. He is not dissimilar to Clint Eastwood’s famous ‘man with no name’ character – cynical and violent.

In an interesting combination, Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington have agreed to appear in David Cronenberg’s next film, an adaptation of Robert Ludlum’s Matarese Circle. This is an interesting combination, mostly because of Cronenberg’s involvement. Matrarese Circle is a traditional spy thriller – something you don’t envision Cronenberg being part of.
