Few comic property adaptations have me as excited as Lobo. It's vulgar, it's violent, and its current incarnation, Lobo: Highway to Hell, is being written by Anthrax guitarist and thrash metal God Scott Ian. Lobo is a big, blue intergalactic bounty hunter who lands on Earth on his space motorcycle in search of four alien fugitives. They might as well call the series Lobo: This Dude is AWESOME!.

And speaking of awesome, Guy Ritchie, director of Snatch, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, and the Christmas day release Sherlock Holmes is at the helm, and producer Joel Silver recently confessed that he's shot some test footage already. Silver, whose resume reads like a list of your favorite action films from the past 30 years, is hoping to win over next year's San Diego Comic Con crowd, which should tell you that they're looking to go into full production on the effects-heavy film sooner rather than later.

“I was looking at a test we made and I was seeing it through the eyes of [the San Diego] Comic-Con — through the eyes of that audience. It’s important to know that that audience is the biggest in the world. That’s the audience that you want to get,” Silver said to Collider

Ian is suggesting Year One meat shield Matt Willig for the lead role, while MTV readers like Thor hopeful James Preston Rogers thanks to his amazing “I Should Be Thor” video (which I can only find in the middle of this EPK video). Even The Comedian himself, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, has expressed interest in the part, and he should get it. Maybe he's not as big or dumb looking as the other two, but he's a proven actor who can be menacing and hilarious, which is exactly what Lobo needs to be.

Unfortunately, it seems they're still trying to shoot for a PG-13 rating, but the important thing to get out of this article is that the producers actually give a shit about what you, the fan, have to say. Make your voice heard (somehow) and let them know that you want your blood, guts and “F” words.
