First Look LOBO Script Review!

[Brian Braddock]

Heh, just read the above posts. Seems the issue of Baldwin and muscle suits has already come up.

 

[cerealkiller182]

wasnt that from that fan made lobo thing.

Yes. Its Andrew Bryniarski who kicked ass as Lobo in that fan made flick. He said in an interview around the time the TCM remake prequel came out that his friend was writing a Lobo script with him in mind and he was dying to go back to the character

 

[protocida]

That would be great!

 

[Webhead2006]

maybe if lobo does get off the ground he can try and convince the producers/director to pick him. i remember seeing a clip of it online and i thought he did ok.

 

[theMan-Bat]

"Lobo starts in Czarnia, a devastated planet. A rescue team searches for survivors among the debris, and find a baby. They're moved by that discovery, but, when the baby nearly tears one of the rescuers fingers apart with his mouth, he's left to die. His name? Lobo."

That's watered down family friendly crap. Lobo is the last Czarnian because he killed all the others when he was an adult. They were wiped out after Lobo bio-engineers a swarm of scorpion-like creatures with a lethal sting and unleashes it on Czarnia. One other Czarnian was left, Lobo's fourth grade teacher, Miss Tribb, before Lobo kills her by snapping her neck. Warner Brothers should grow some balls and do movies of Lobo: The Last Czarnian and Lobo's Back and The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special. Murderous, blood, guts, gore and all.

Lobo is still the "hero" of the movie. A "hero" that kills an entire planet just for fun might be too hard to make likeable.

 

[Lobo]

And rescuers leaving an abandoned baby alone to die doesn't seem all that family friendly to me :/

 

[protocida]

^Exactly.

Sounds Lobo enough for me.

 

[Changeling]

I hope this gets made. It seems like if it does, it'll be like another Hex.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

I really like Lobo.... One of the best DC characters....
Unlike that stupid minor sidekick character of his called Superman...

Have I expressed enough how much I dislike and am saddened by the idea of a solo Lobo movie? What next? Anchorman 2: The Ballad of Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen?

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Doesnt sound anywhere near as good as this...

Lobo obviously isn't a hero. A hero doesn't kill his own home world of peaceful people and his fourth grade teacher, even Santa Claus, and ripping random peoples arms off.

He isn't meant to be likeable or loveble. He's meant to be a vicious, ruthless politically incorrect crazy killer.

And rescuers leaving an abandoned baby alone to die doesn't seem all that family friendly to me :/

It is watered down and family friendly intended for the family audence to feel sorry for the little baby Lobo abandoned alone to die. Trying to turn Lobo into a loveable sympatetic victom.

 

[The Guard]

Sort of sounds more like it's intended to be funny. When the baby attacks people, the cheesy "feel sorry for the baby" thing will be turned on its head.

 

[Dark Knight]

The Script is violent. Not Ricky's story violent, but 300 violent, I believe.

Yeah, keep it like 300....but the key would be for the budget to be around 80 million for it to make a good profit for an R rated anti-hero film.

It should be baby Lobo being born and he bites the doctors fingers off, then the opening credits role. Not soften the character by making it to where it wasn't Lobo that killed the other Czarnians. They should do a movie of Lobo: The Last Czarnian.

 

[The Guard]

It's all well and good to wax poetic about what it SHOULD be, but they're likely going to milk the comedy elements of this more than the violence.

 

[protocida]

^I believe it's an actual action movie.

And there's nothing that says Lobo DIDN'T killed the Czarnians and the rescue party just didn't knew that.

It says he was a BABY in Czarnia, a devastated planet and a rescue team searches for survivors and finds BABY Lobo. He killed billions of Czarnians when he was just a BABY in diapers?

 

[Brian Braddock]

I'd be interesting for the marketing department to pay homage to some iconic Lobo images that made him such a cult figure.

For me, 'the Last Czarnian' was the story which made Lobo so god-damned cool on a whole other level (a coolness level that, if I'm honest, I honestly dont think he's ever reached since) so I'd like them to use some Bizley pieces (the quintessential Lobo artist in my mind - no other artist imo has been able to capture Lobo as well as he can).

Imagine these as movie posters only using the actual actor:-

Just how badass would that look? Not to mention striking when seen as a standee at the local cinema..................

And, of course, this one just has to be used for the sequel:-

Czarnians don't wear diapers, and yup. A baby who killed his species coz they pissed him off

 

[theMan-Bat]

Czarnians don't wear diapers,

Baby Czarnians did.

and yup. A baby who killed his species

Inspired by the idea of genocide, Lobo bio-engineers a swarm of lethal scorpion-like creatures with a lethal sting and unleashes it on Czarnia...as a baby? That would be a ridiculously intelligent baby Lobo. And that would mean that Miss Tribb was never Lobo's fourth grade teacher.

coz they pissed him off

Lobo killed them because - out of pure ego, he wanted to be one of a kind everywhere.

 

[Lobo]

There's no need for the history lesson, I've read them all

 

[04nbod]

We are getting a lobo movie...before flash...before wonder woman...before titans...lobo.

he really is the main man

 

[AnorexicBatman]

I would LOVE to know where Superman was when Lobo arrives to Earth in his solo movie...

I'm just concerned about this movie. The script is immensely lame, totally uninspired. Who cares about Kayla McGuee, a necklace and an artefact know as The Drown? They should throw out this bland script and do a movie of Lobo: The Last Czarnian. The best thing would be to see the Last Czarnian storyline.
