Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie has signed on to direct a live-action adaptation of DC Comics’ bad boy anti-hero Lobo, a character originated in 1983 in “Omega Men” by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen.
Lobo is a alien interstellar bounty hunter. The seven-foot tall, blue-skinned, indestructible and heavily muscled anti-hero drives a pimped out motorcycle, and lands on Earth in search of four fugitives who are bent on wreaking havoc.
Don Payne will pen the script (The Simpsons, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, My Super Ex-Girlfriend) and Joel Silver (The Matrix, Speed Racer, RocknRolla, Ninja Assassin), Akiva Goldsman (Deep Blue Sea, Starsky & Hutch, I Am Legend), and Andrew Rona (The Brothers Grimm) are producing along with Warner Bros, who owns DC Comics and all of its characters.
Shooting kicks off early next year and is aiming for a PG-13 rating. [source: Variety]
I dunno the comic expect for the look of the guy and I haven't watched Ritchie's latest films yet, still hoping Holmes will be good. But sure, why not?
