Lobo movie

[Raph's Girl]

Looks like the Lobo movie might be getting another director. Guy Ritchie will be too busy doing Sherlock Holmes II and won't have time to do Lobo. No word on who the next director will be. This does not mean the Lobo movie is delayed tho.

That sounds like a good thing to me. I didn't see Holmes but most of his movies are so formulaic now they're boring to watch. I also thing he's a bad fit for a comic book film, unless it's based off a comic book about a heist.

But you also think Sam Raimi has "artistic vision."

My fiance will be excited; she gets almost everything Lobo-related that comes out and pesters me constantly about why they don't just do a Lobo movie already.

I think it'll be pretty hard to do a decent Lobo flick. The character really works best as a foil for others, not carrying his own story. The only way to do it would be to go completely over-the-top with the violence, sex and drugs and not try to play it too straight. And since it's based on a comic you know the studio will never leave well enough alone. It'll most likely suck.

I liked Lobo a lot more when I was 12. Seems like most people grow out of Lobo before too long.

Show your fiance this. It's an awesome Lobo short film called Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special. The guy who plays Lobo is Andrew Bryniarski. He plays Leatherface in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes.

We have it on a DVD I picked up at my old comic book store, they used to sell compilations of people's fan films and whatnot. But yeah, that was one of the better ones by far.

Back in development:

Warner Bros.’ ‘Lobo’ Lands ‘Wonder Woman’ Writer Jason Fuchs (Exclusive)

It will be the screenwriter’s second adaptation of a DC comic book and third movie for Warner Brothers

Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are turning to their “Wonder Woman” writer Jason Fuchs to pen “Lobo,” TheWrap has learned.

The project marks Fuchs’ second within Warners’ DC universe following “Wonder Woman,” indicating a certain confidence in Fuchs’ work on that upcoming superhero movie starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine.

Insiders suggest that Fuchs will start from scratch with his own take on Lobo — an alien who works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. The character became a popular figure among fans of DC comic books following his revival in the early ’90s as a biker anti-hero.

Warner Bros. did not respond to a request for comment.

Marvel did Guardians, Fox did Deadpool, of course WB thinks Lobo is a good idea right now.

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I've never understood the appeal of Lobo. But then, I never understood the appeal of Deadpool, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ant-Man, so I've been wrong before.

[Autbot_Benz]

I want Danny Trejo or Ron Perlman to play Lobo

[sdp]

Wow, I never did like him but talk about a character that reeks from the 90s. This movie gets my approval based only on that.

Michael Bay interested in directing Lobo!?

...

Well, the man does make bank... sad to say...

[plastroncafe]

A match made in heaven.

If WB is seriously considering that... then they've learned nothing.

Of course they've learned nothing. I honestly don't think they'll EVER learn. Ever since Man of Steel, they always take away the WRONG feedback.

Superman killed Zod and destroyed part of Metropolis?

Batman V Superman... EVERYBODY hates Superman now! And EVERY major fight will take place in an ABANDONED BUILDING/NEIGHBORHOOD!

Suicide Squad... not enough laughs! EVERYBODY IS FUNNY! Nobody dies! Boomerang has a unicorn fetish! Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack!

Justice League... Superman smiles more! Everybody jokes! Flash is autistic!

It's a MIRACLE that Wonder Woman was as good as it was, given WB's track record... although I guess it's possibly due to the fact that nobody complained about Gal Gadot in Batman V Superman. She was the highlight.

But has Bay actually ever made an R-rated movie? Other than Pain and Gain, which nobody seems to remember and was hugely offensive to the real victim the story was based on?

I'll be honest, I have no idea.
I just can't think of a property more suited to his Fanboy Hate Machine than Lobo.

I completely forgot Michael Bay did those!!!

[TigerClaw]

Here's a little update.

Michael Bay will only direct this if Warner Bros scales down the budget. Its currently estimated at about 200 million and the rewrites for it will help scale it down.

Surprised he wants the budget scaled back, I guess he got tired of explosions finally.
