This one made me cough up a perfectly good bottle of Dew, folks. ALL over my keyboard. It was vile.
See, I was cruising the news sites, looking for something interesting to talk about. What do I find? I find that none other than Guy Ritchie has been detailed to handle directing duties for the upcoming Lobo movie.
First, I’m amazed, because I never thought anyone would try and bring The Main Man into things. If there was ever a comic book movie I wanted quite so badly as a Venom / Carnage, Deadpool or Transmetropolitan movie, it was clearly Lobo. Better yet, shooting’s going to start early next year by last report.
Okay, sure…so putting Guy Ritchie in charge pretty much ensures that it’s going to turn into Lock Stock and Two Fraggin’ Barrels O’ Fun, but it’s Lobo. How bad can it be with The Main Man on the scene? You know you can’t go anywhere with the Last Czarnian without lots of things blowing up and some choice one-liners. Even with Guy Ritchie it can’t be too highbrow.
I’ll take bets right now–two to one Ron Perlman gets an offer to play Lobo.
