UPDATE: Rumor Control: Photo From ‘Jonah Hex’ Adaptation?
I’m still trying to figure out whether we should be covering this or not, but either way it looks like a really cool adaptation. It was announced almost exactly a year ago that Warner Bros. Pictures would be adapting Jonah Hex, a character known for having the right side of his face disfigured and wearing a Confederate army uniform, who was a rough-and-tumble gunslinger and part-time bounty hunter whose adventures always ended in blood. No details were revealed other than it would be written and directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, then today something shocking hit the web – a picture of one of the stars in a production test photo. Who is starring you ask? Read on and find out.UPDATE: STYD reports that this photo is a load of BS… only it has now been revealed that they’re wrong and this photo is 100% legit. Thomas Jane made it to try and get cast in the film by WB…

Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
