Cast This: Lobo
Apr. 27, 2012
Time to head back to the comics to find our next "Cast This" subject.
After the LOBO adaptation lost Guy Ritchie, I thought this thing was in the crapper. What studio would be ballsy enough to do this? What director would do it justice? Warner Bros. held the property, but the only thing they could manage is slapping a PG-13 on it, and will probably later add that it was a "hard PG-13". The studio recently hired Brad Peyton to direct the film. I'm all for giving someone a chance, but this guys last efforts were JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND and CATS & DOGS: THE REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE. Maybe Peyton wants to move on from family films, however, trying to figure out who should direct this is not the topic at hand.
Lobo is a humorous, egotistical, arrogant, hard ass alien bounty hunter who is really only looking after himself. Let's face it, the guy's name is Khundian for "he who devours your entrails and thoroughly enjoys it." Hell, Lobo is constantly challenging Superman just so he can prove he's better. Not to mention, he was fired from the Justice League (on the animated series). He's the best kind of scumbag there is.
So, who will you choose? Jeffrey Dean Morgan? Tom Hardy, again? Screech? Get the frag to it and pick who you want to play Lobo.
RESULTS FROM PREVIOUS 'CAST THIS': Who should direct TERMINATOR 5?:
1. James Cameron 2. Duncan Jones 3. Brad Bird
There's no real surprise on this one. Of course you want Cameron to come back. Unfortunately, that's not happening so let's move on to your other choices. Duncan Jones was a big hit. After seeing something like SOURCE CODE and knowing this guy has a geekon for sci-fi, you could trust him with a film in this franchise. Brad Bird impressed viewers with MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL. You shouldn't have been. THE INCREDIBLES was worthy enough. Oh, and for the jokester who said my mom should direct-- she's not interested.

NO
While not related to this topic directly I'm also not liking the idea of turning TV to film projects under comedy banner showing the lead stars always getting high or making nervous statements. Green Hornet and 21 Jump Street while truly enjoyable as comedies lacked the substance that made it interesting tv shows.

Jason Momoa
how about
Perlman
Hoping on the bandwagon
Although the Pearlman pick is largely influenced because he was Hellboy, and Lobo and Hellboy are a similar characters. But it is still good.

You'd think there were only about 20 actors in Hollywood
Jeffrey Dean Morgan coz he had a moustache and smoked a cigar in Watchmen.

Josh Holloway
And yes, I'm going with less thick & bulky and more lean mean way like Jackman's turned out.

dont care for the movie but
my first thought was Jason Statham, but he's too classy and would look weird with hair. after reading throug the comments a little, i'd have to agree and go with the Comedian

Has anyone here actually read Lobo?
Sarah Jessica Parker
an actor in full make-up/cgi
Watch Public Enemies to see him as a (convincing) tough guy and [Insert: any movie from the past 10years] to see him act campy as hell.
