    We all know that Guy Ritchie is on board for bringing LOBO to the big screen.  Apparently the script is being worked on and they're looking to start filming next year.  The big question is, who could or should play Lobo?  Comics2Film asked one of their sources if there were plans to get a body builder or wrestler to capture Lobo's physique.  They were told that while Lobo has to look a certain way, the actor doesn't necessarily have to.
     
    What?  Does this mean that Lobo will be CGI?  Thinking about that brings back flashbacks to the jello-Hulk in Ang Lee's 'movie.'
     
    They go on the mention that it could be makeup along with CGI enhancements like in Hellboy.
     
    The next question is do you need a big-name actor or just get someone that can act the role?  According to this source, one name keeps popping up.  Clancy Brown.  
     
    Do you think Clancy Brown could be right for the role?  What about the previously mentioned Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Comedian from Watchmen)?  Should it be some big dude with muscles?  All CGI?

    Why don't they just do what they did with Ron Perlman in Hellboy and use prosthetics on him.  It worked wonders.  And Ron Perlam could do Lobo all day long.  Remember that Lobo is basicly Satire, and Perlman can bring some humor to the character.  Clancy could work too.  Clancy can work anything, but  we need a deep guy.

    goldenkey raises a good point.  A dressed up Lobo could work.  Just as long as he doesn't look terrible like the Thing in the FF movies.

    I'm with Caligula on this one.  The whole thing just doesn't make sense to me.   Frag it all.
     
    In that tradition I give you my casting nomination for Lobo:

    Clancy's voice is perfect for this, it would have to be at least partially CG, though.

    @King Saturn:  Thanks.  Its just this whole concept seems whack to me.  Why is a Lobo movie supposedly moving forward when DC Entertainment/Warner Bros. can't get the damn ball rolling on the other far higher profile characters like Wonder Woman????  Aaarrggghhhh.   Also with Guy Ritchie doing it?  Its just a weird combo.

    This is just stupid then.  I love Clancy and all but this is just stupid plan and simple.
     
    Why would you do this when you have 2 well 3 actually if you count James Preston Rogers trying to be Lobo now. But the 2 I'm talking about is Andrew Brynarski and Jeffrey Dean Morgan that can pull off Lobo without CGI or a muscle suit. It's just stupid same with the script being on Earth instead of  in space like it SHOULD BE !!!

    First of all Clancy Brown should have been Lex Luther! I mean come on everyone who's played him has made him lame! (Kevin Spacey included!)  Clancy does a great job on JLA Unlimited he should be Luther in any up coming Superman project! As for him as Lobo, I can see it. He is a very good actor, I think he could pull it off. I think Brad Garett has a great voice for lobo but can picture his face as Lobo.

    Hey, Hulk looked amazing in the 2008 film, and Hyde looked pretty convincing in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. But I'd rather see a actor then a image. I'd say Andrew Bryniarski, the guy who played Zangief and Leatherface in the new TCM films.

    I certainly love Ron Pearlman and don't doubt for a minute that he could do it and Brad Garret was great in the cartoon.  But I think the person with the best voice, attitude, sense of humor and look (if they CG'd him to look a little younger like they did to Patrick Stewart in X3) would be Hulk Hogan.  I'm not a wrestle fan but he has such a wonderful Bastich voice and look and his sense of humor is very along the lines of Lobo (maybe darken up his jokes a bit so he would be even more Lobo-like)

    Guys come on, this is just a bad Idea period...

    Just think for a second and let it set in... LOBO... on Film. Not a good concept. A: LOBO is lame, B: He would not translate well to film. 
     
    there are tons of DC characters who deserve a big-budget film more than LOBO. 
     
    WonderWoman 
    Flash 
    Martian Manhunter 
    Green Lantern 
    HawkMan and HawkGirl 
    Atom 
    Blue Beetle 
    Phantom Stranger 
     
    that's just a few that don't have movies yet. I know a few are supposed to be getting some but they don't yet. 
     
    Mabye I'm the Only person but, I think an Atom movie would be amazing, Imagine him on the big screen, now that would be a site.

    I think if anything, it would be more appropriate to have a bad actor play Lobo, hamming it up and being awful. That's a better tribute to and representation of the character in my opinion.

    Micky Rourke    could be Lobo, he has the physique , the who gives a shit attitude and besides his skin already looks like it could withstand the harshness of open space.

    Vinnie Jones, Micky Rourke, Jeffrey Dean Morgan,  Jason Statham
     
    The reason i mention Jason Statham is cause it's a Guy Ritchie movie. Same goes for Vinnie Jones.
     
    Top choices would be Rourke and Morgan, though.

    Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He may have played the Comedian but I could definately see him as Lobo. Mickey Rourke would be good too.

    I've said it before but I think Jason Momoa would fit the role nicely.Besdies he and Routh are the same age so if they ever wanted Lobo in a Superman movie they could have him.

      @Caligula: Yeah sure the same could be said about Deadpool but do you really want them to ruin the characters you admire?...do you think they would honestly do The Atom justice in a movie?
