Okay time for real Lobo news...

Good old comic book friendly Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a very, very busy man. Having shot the thriller The Resident earlier this year, Dean Morgan moved immediately into production of the DC/Vertigo comic book adaptation The Losers, currently shooting in Puerto Rico. Now word comes from the actor himself that he will be taking a role in the upcoming remake of Red Dawn.

The currently-announced cast also includes Chris Hemsworth. Red Dawn is currently slated for a September 2010 release.

But, what the real comic book news is, is Jeffrey told SuperHeroHype.com of his desire to star in the Guy Ritchie's adaptation of the DC Comics Lobo!

"They're making 'Lobo' right now," offered JDM, "That would be cool. 'Lobo' would be very cool. I don't think that I'm as big as Lobo is, but if you could, like, transplant Mickey Rourke's body on my head, that would be just great."



"You're always looking for material that's kind of smart and fun and this seems to be where it is right now," says the actor in regards to his interest in so many comic book properties, "The studios are really gravitating towards it, more than I've ever seen them gravitate towards anything in a long time. Comic books are really the thing right now and I don't see that going away for at least the next couple of years."

Lobo has two major creative forces in common with The Losers in producers Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman, a connection not at all lost on Dean Morgan.

JDM said, "I do have an in," he admits, "I'll be elbowing somebody soon."


LEEE777 - Well i have got to admit it would be sweet if he got the role, though now that the poll is over i can tell you all that i wanted Kevin Durand for the role of the Main Man, but i personally liked Morgan second, so this is excellent news! I wonder what Kevin Durand thinks on the subject? ; )

Lol!!!

I still think KEVIN DURAND is best but JDM would play a FRAGGING good LOBO too and he wants the character which is also good!!

Im glad ANDREW BRYNIARSKI from the LOBO fan movie got alot of votes too, he was really good in that! ; )

I like JDM. He has a lot of talent but when oh when will he come back to Supernatural!!!!
DDD
DDD - 9/13/2009, 11:48 PM
Jeffrey Dean Morgan would be a great Lobo! They would have to give him a fake bulging body and use effex to make him 7 feet tall but I can just see JDM strutting around like Lobo right now!

But I voted for Kevin 'cause he is already near 7 feet tall and with average or short people he would look enormous! Heck I wouldn't mind strutting around like Lobo for all that money! I'm a muscular giant but Kevin is a real actor and would do justice to Lobo.

Good poll @Leee! See, I told you it would be a good poll!

LEEE777 - 9/13/2009, 11:50 PM
Holy BAT-PLUG! Im on TOP lol! Heh heh.

INSTIGATOR @ I thought he died in SUPERNATURAL? Heck or was that GREY ANATOMY?? Lol, heck he did it again in WATCHMEN too! Better not if he gets the LOBO part lol!

: D

DDD @ Yes you did man! You da man!!! ; )

An thanx @ BRENT!!!
DDD
DDD - 9/13/2009, 11:53 PM
@Instagatorgirl, I've wondered the same thing...he was the best dad on TV! It would be great to have him back.

@Leee, he went to hell in Supernatural so theoretically he could be pulled back out just like Dean was by Castiel!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/13/2009, 11:54 PM
Maybe in a LOBO 2 (wishful thinking lol), we'll see him go up against the other DC A$$hole in the DC Universe = GUY GARDNER! ; D

Ya know he brings up a good point.... when comic book movies run outta favor like westerns did.... What will we do... what will we get. And will it have an effect on the Comic Book Industry who no doubt will be so heavily influenced by the courting of Hollywood that when the shift happens , well it seems to me that the Comic Industry may begin to focus its storylines on the Next Hollywood "Big Thing". Or not :)
DDD
DDD - 9/14/2009, 12:05 AM
Comic books have been around for a very long time and CBM's have been done for a long time too! I don't think comics will ever be just abandoned like Westerns seem to have been!

Besides Comic books look towards the future a lot whereas westerns look only at a very short period in the past.

JDM will never return to supernatural, well maybe ass a demon :D. Who know, it is the apocalypse after all.

But to the point, he'd make a great lobo, but he isn't nearly big enough. Lobo should be a huge guy, but the problem with that is, most of 'm can't act.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/14/2009, 1:36 AM
An A$$ DEMON!!! : D

SPILOX @ I hope IF he does get it, he'll change his voice for the role or all i'll see is THE COMEDIAN with make up on lol! But though, he's got passion for the role!

KEVIN DURAND @ Speak up lol!!!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/14/2009, 2:06 AM
I'll worry if their not making it, man im just happy its gonna get made, never ever thought we'd ever see this ever!!! Just becoz its PG-13 don't bother me too much, they can get away wiv alot an hopefully do a R-RATED version for DVD/BR release lol.

Well, ya never know! ; )

shibazz - 9/14/2009, 2:49 AM
@DDD- you make a great point! Love that type of thought process.... but it is a bit off of my mark which i didnt make quite clear enough... that HollyWood producess movies in genres that are like crops in a season. Seasons change and when that happens will the Comic Book Industry change with it in order to adapt Story lines and Charachters that better reflect the new Flavor. Just imagine how much money is made and spent due to Comic Movies right now. But Kudos to you for a well played answer.

@TeaBag- Me Too!

Noice. I voted for Durand but JDM would be great too, Hell if he wants the part give it to him! You hear that Ritchie? Don't go casting [frick]ing Jason Statham now..

ottoevans - 9/14/2009, 6:43 AM
how the hell u make the blob into lobo?

They already did that with Reynolds.

I dont know who Jeffrey Dean Morgan is but he looks the part
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 9/14/2009, 6:56 AM
ROR @ JASON STATHAM lol, damn, he just might, hope not!

: D

Ottoevans @ I take it you've seen WATCHMEN??

He's the actor who played the COMEDIAN, the guy that gets pussed out the window at the start, if you still ain't sure of who im talikn' about, him.
Shaman
Shaman - 9/14/2009, 7:49 AM
DAMN RIGHT HAWK!!! :)) JJJOOOOOOYYYYYGASM!!!!!

Ror is right though! JDM is a dedicated and very talented actor! He wants it! He looks the part alot more than any other choice, GIVE IT TO HIM!!! Cause he is built enough, he doesn't need Rourke's body. His angle is definitely "the face"!!! JDM has got the perfect face for the role! Just imagine the sadistic smile with a cigar hanging from his lip! He'd be awesome as Lobo :))

I say Let Lobo bring the thunder. What happen to all the fight club stuff Souleater used to do? How about Thor vs. Lobo. NOw that would be interesting to see.

Good find Leee!

I wish they'd have made this right after Sin City. I think Mickey could have done it back then. When I think about what the Main Man's voice and character should be like, it's Mickey.

I gotta say I agree with this poll though. Anything after JDM is just silly talk.
Betty
Betty - 9/14/2009, 8:32 AM
Yeah, lets talk about the "Comic Book Movie Role". Actors seem to be catching on to the CBM. If I was an actor, I would see it as a long term investment. I'm sure they see all the old sci-fi actors still raking in the cash at DragonCon and other cons in general.

You're damn right if I was an actor I would be killing for parts in CBMs. Just think, 10-20 yrs from now if Sam Jackson and Hugh Jackman show up at the same convention it would be a mad house. Ahhh, to be immortalized as a bad-ass! Oooo, I feel an article coming on!
