According to Variety, "John Malkovich will square off against Josh Brolin in 'Jonah Hex,' the Warner Bros. adaptation of the DC Comics property that begins production in April.
Legendary Pictures has joined the project as co-financier and co-producer.
Malkovich will play Turnbull, a wealthy Southern plantation owner whose son is killed by Union soldiers during the Civil War. He blames Hex, a former confederate soldier-turned-hardened bounty hunter and gunslinger. Jimmy Hayward ('Horton Hears a Who') is directing the script by 'Crank' scribes Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Mad Chance's Andrew Lazar is producing with Weed Road's Akiva Goldsman."
I believe Malkovich to be a decent actor even though he has had some bad roles in the past (did anyone like "Eragon?"). I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Western. Has he been in one? I might have to look this up.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!

He is a good actor-Con Air man...Eragon was just a horrible movie, good book though
"Con Air" was good. I remember now...he was the leader of the convicts.
Right.
I didn't say "Eragon" was a bad book. Someday I will read it.
