Guy Ritchie’s next project after Sherlock Holmes will be an adaptation of DC Comics’ Lobo, according to Variety.
The series followed the alien bounty hunter Lobo as he traversed the universe getting into all kinds of intergalactic scrapes. As well as holding superhuman strength and regenerative powers, Lobo also boasts a high intellect. The character originated in 1983 and was created by writer Roger Slifer and artist Keith Giffen. Being an antihero, this space hunter seems like a good match for Ritchie, who is most at home when handling gritty characters and shady story arcs.
Warner Brothers will be overseeing this project, which is also a co-venture between Silver Pictures and Weed Road. Filming is set to begin early next year. In a surprising announcement, the trade publication reports that Warner Brothers is aiming for a PG-13 rating for the picture.

The news update from Variety on what the film will be like:
“In the film, he is 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.”
Never has a concept fumbled so fast before it even hit the production date… And PG13 fer christ sakes has no one actually read The Last Czarnian? Well clearly not…
Guy Richie hasn’t been worth a toss since Snatch (and even that’s debatable), Akiva Goldsman who will produce and screenwrite, wrote the screen play for Batman & Robin and Don Payne the actual writer wrote My Super Ex Girlfriend and Fantastic Four: The rise of the silver surfer.
Never has there been a conglomerate of utter durge “talent” in one place at the same time…
I hate to come across as a whining fanboy assuming the worst but nothing here gives me cause to be hopeful about this project in the slightest.
