Brad Peyton To Helm Lobo Movie
Rejoice, fans of Lobo! Your beloved alien bounty hunter is finally making his way to the big screen. Warner Brothers has hired Brad Peyton ('Journey 2: The Mysterious Island') to rewrite and direct the Lobo feature film, but this is not the first crack the studio has taken at this character. At one point Guy Ritchie was tapped to direct, and it would stand to reason that the script for that dormant project is precisely what Peyton will now be rewriting. Lobo first appeared in DC comics as a villain in the 80s, but didn't achieve widespread popularity until the early 90s when he was revamped as an anti-hero biker. This latest Lobo film adaptation will be produced by Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman.
Lobo is a character of whom I have little, strike that, no knowledge base. I've heard of him, seen a few covers as I flipped through comic store bins, but I knew zero about him until this story broke. I like the idea of an intergalactic bounty hunter, and I hope that's the version of him they choose to explore. The anti-hero biker angle has already been done with the two 'Ghost Rider' films. Having said that, I don't need to be a Lobo expert to have serious reservations about Brad Peyton as a director. The guy's helmed two features films: 'Journey 2' and 'Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore.' Both films are children's fare, and both are pretty bad. I can't imagine him taking on material as dark as it sounds like Lobo could be. But I'm willing to concede that maybe there's something I'm unaware of in the Lobo canon that would give Peyton the edge?
Can our Lobo expert Spillios help me out? What do you think of Peyton directing this? Who would have been your choice?

Batman Beyond would be a shit film, JLA might work but they need more than one hit series of films first, The Flash...meh...a action/comedy?, and I do NOT trust Hollywood to do WW.

lobo is the reason i started watching superman the animated series as a kid. even a tame version of him is kick ass when your a kid and it stands the test of time well making it still entertaining to watch.

Aw Frag... from Main Man to just another slaughtered DC property on the big screen. Guy Ritchie I would expect more for an actual British produced and directed 'Judge Dredd' than Lobo - but he would have been a better fit than this guy. Cripes, the Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special will probably be more entertaining that this less than R rated popcorn snozer. If nothing else, looks like JustSomeRandomGuy can add Lobo to his story telling with Deadpool and Rosscharch.

I mean it's not like Brad Peyton himself is a kid himself and doesn't know what more adult material looks like. He sounds like one of those director for hire guys that did those two movies because he needed to put food on the table. Is there an indelible Brad Peyton mark on left either Journey 2 or Cats and Dogs 2?? I think not...
Who knows, maybe this'll be his breakout directing gig. Clearly he already has something to prove to most folks and he'll try to bring his A-Game, unless he gets bullied around to do what the studios want him. I dunno, give the n00b a chance...and if anything, I'd be paying more attention to the producers Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsm....*looks at Akiva Goldsman's filmography*
I'd be looking at Joel Silver. He's no slouch himself.

What really needs to happen is this. Stop making movies for C/D list heros. MArvel got lucky with Blade. Most people had no idea it was a comicbook movie. I'm so tired of hearing people ask for a Deadpool movie too. They will most likely fail due to lack of name recognition. WATCHMEN anyone. "The best selling graphic novel of all time." pffffff... What ever just because comicbook guy knows about it doesn't mean it's actually going to succeed.

excited to hear of Lobo again but worried about the director and the pg-13 the movie will most likely get.
