Brad Peyton Directing Lobo

EXCLUSIVE: Brad Peyton, who helmed the global hit Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, has just been set by Warner Bros to rewrite & direct Lobo, the live action film based on the DC Comics franchise. Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman producing.

Lobo is an alien that works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. Introduced as a hardened, rarely used hard boiled villain in the 1980s, the character remained in limbo until his revival as an anti-hero biker in the early 1990s, when he became on of the most popular characters in the DC Comics stable.

Peyton is repped by Verve and Piekoff Law.

OsGom · 04-20-2012, 02:06 PM

Yeah, they plan to dilute Lobo to a PG-13 movie. No freakin way!

obin_gam · 04-20-2012, 02:13 PM

There's no way in hell The Rock is even remotely suitable for playing Lobo.

Not even remotely?

See, DC seems to feel they can bring all their C and D-listers to the screen because frankly, there isn't a lot of baggage fanboys have compared to WW, Flash and the like. If they **** with it, no one is going to whine.

Project862006 · 04-20-2012, 02:33 PM

is lobo a bald samoan?

And the C and D list characters won't cost 150 million dollars.

Bruce_Begins · 04-20-2012, 02:37 PM

Lobo can be seen as response to yet to be declared Venom or Deadpool movie.

But, I am fearing another Jonah Hex. (Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman producing.)

terry78 · 04-20-2012, 02:38 PM

It's safer to do a Lobo or a Doom Patrol than an Aquaman, basically. Hell, we'd probably see the Metal Men before any JL type flick.

Anyone familiar with Brad Peyton's work?

Project862006 · 04-20-2012, 02:42 PM

and the director of elf directed iron man

Bruce_Begins · 04-20-2012, 02:43 PM

Safe movie suggestions (basically C and D Listers that do not cost more than 150 mil.)

Swamp Thing
Spectre.
Dr. Fate
Question

terry78 · 04-20-2012, 02:43 PM

He's Canadian, directed mostly shorts for Canada TV until he got his big break with Cats and Dogs 2. Journey 2 was good for what it was, mostly pretty whimsical and kinda tongue in cheek. That is the only thing that makes me think he can do this, as Cats and Dogs and Journey were both pretty self aware.

Animal Man.

The Batman · 04-20-2012, 03:38 PM

lol, the only thing that'd make this film worthwhile is if someone like The Rock played Lobo.

Rockstar · 04-20-2012, 03:39 PM

Jonah Hex 2.0

Tobias · 04-20-2012, 03:52 PM

So is this going to be WB's 2014 DC film?
