Guy Ritchie Set to Direct Lobo

September 2, 2009

Warner Bros. Pictures has set Guy Ritchie to direct Lobo, a live action adaptation of the DC Comics title about an alien interstellar bounty hunter, reports Variety.

Don Payne wrote the most recent script draft, and Joel Silver, Akiva Goldsman and Andrew Rona will produce. The film is a co-production between Silver Pictures and Weed Road.

In the film, says the trade, Lobo will be a seven-foot tall, blue-skinned, indestructible and heavily muscled anti-hero who drives a pimped out motorcycle, and lands on Earth in search of four fugitives who are bent on wreaking havoc. Lobo teams with a small town teenaged girl to stop the creatures.

Production on Lobo begins early next year. The studio is aiming for a PG-13 rating.

If it wasn't for the dark knight. I would've said Lobo couldn't work as a PG-13 film. With Guy Ritchie attached to just makes more all the more interested in how it will turn out.

To everyone complaining about PG-13 -- What in Lobo comics made it R-rated? Sure, the violence was there, but it was goofy and nonsensical and played for laughs. And there were no F-words or nudity, so....

Guy Ritchie + Lobo = PG-13? That ain't gonna happen. The hiring of Ritchie to me says that they said screw the PG-13 rating, let's make this thing right.
