Akiva Goldsman On Lobo

Akiva Goldsman On Lobo

We have already heard from the writer/producer on his feeling toward Batman And Robin , as well as his thoughts for the proposed Swamp Thing reboot. Here we have his take on Lobo, and the Director that will bring the main man to the big screen, Guy Ritchie...

Ritchie wouldn't seem like the obvious choice to direct a movie like Lobo. Sure his next project, Sherlock Holmes, has loose comic book affiliations, but generally he likes to make movies about Laaaandan aaaaardmen and pepper his movies with voicovers that relay the entire plot, just in case you happen to be mentally challenged and cant follow it!(sorry, not a huge fan!)..anyway, Producer Akiva Goldsman feels Ritchie is just the man to unleash the Bastiche...

"There's something hyperbolic and authentic about a Guy Ritchie movie. His best movie are deeply, deeply stylized yet they are all grounded; there's a grit of stylization, which sounds like an oxymoron but it makes perfect sense when you've seen his films.

We've never seen Guy's sensibility married to a project with such a large special effects budget."

Goldsman said Ritchie will shoot a test scene in November -- "We've got the character design pretty much done," Goldsman said, "and the test will get us moving forward to the next step" -- and casting will be decided after that.



Despite Jeffrey Dean Morgan expressing interest..and being involved with Goldsman on The Losers, we haven't heard anything but rumor on the casting front so far.

I can't believe they're doing Lobo before most of the other DC heroes get their chance.

First off, Rockenrolla was shite, second, you forgot Swept Away and Revolver! Holmes also looks like more of the same to me..but I hope I'm wrong.

I went to the mtv voting polls. When I saw a list of actor names and I researched all of them. James Preston Rogers is the best choice to be casted Lobo.

Well, Snatch and Lock Stock were basically the same movie with slightly different plots and characters. As for every director having shite movies, what about Darren Aronofsky? Chris Nolan? Martin Scorsese? Wim Wenders? The list goes on. Now obviously every director has movies that are better than others, but Im hard pushed to think of anyone I could be possibly exited about directing a CBM that has squat out pieces of absolute Satan loaf like Swept Away or Revolver.

@Rorschach, personally, I found Chris Nolan's memento, very confusing.

@supermario: You need to watch it two times in a row to get it. It's backwards. There might be something wrong with someone who completely understands it the first time. ;-)

Ritchie seems like an odd choice for this, but I'll withhold judgment until we know more about it.

Memento is up there with my favorite movies ever. I really hated Insomnia though. I call it, "The battle of the penile noses." To each his own I guess.

Ror-- Even though I liked both Snatch and Lock Stock they did seem basically the same. Snatch was like a Lock Stock with a higher profile cast.

Satan loaf, lol!

@Velox, Perhaps I should watch Memento again. But the point I was trying to get across was that All directors have their one movie that is of lesser quality than the rest.
