According to the Hollywood Reporter, actress Megan Fox is preparing to star in a pair of upcoming movies based on comic book series. Fox is in final negotiations with Warner Bros. and DC Comics to star in a feature film version of the Western comic, Jonah Hex. If all goes according to plan, Fox will play Leila, the gun toting love interest of the title character. Oscar nominee Josh Brolin will play Jonah Hex, a disfigured bounty hunter who roams the Old West.

According to the report, the movie will follow Hex as he tracks down a Confederate sympathizer, played by John Malkovich, who uses voodoo to raise an army of zombies in hopes of liberating the South. The film will start filming sometime in April. Horton Hears A Who director Jimmy Hayward will helm the project.
