And what does this do for "The Real Rock N Rolla"?
just paint his skin and a wig and a beared and a cigar
its so easy a caveman can do it
Gollum was a hunched over...thing with boners for a ring.
Lobo, while being alien, still has all the characteristics of a human being, save for the gray skin(or in this case, fucking blue): he walks upright, has hair and smokes, among other things. You can do Lobo without CGI...you can't do King Kong or Gollum without CGI.
Now MOTION CAPTURE on the other hand would allow an actual actor to portray Lobo without it looking cheesy...think Beowulf. The entire movie could look like that. But make-up has gotten advanced since the days of Ferigno as the Hulk(which, btw, still looked realistic). Just look at Mystique or Hellboy. They weren't CGIed. So whatever the filmmakers plan to do to bring Lobo to life should work...as long as it's not CGI.
Anyways, the fact their making this and even focusing on Flash, or Wonder Woman, or even talking about a superman sequel..wow. That's my 2 cents.
Oh, and Lobo being completely CGI'd would not work.
In an interview with Gerald Butler discussing his role in Gamer and as the 'British Action Star.'
One of the question revealed on to that Guy Ritchie's next film after 'Sherlock Holmes' will be RocknRolla 2, according to the reporter, Guy Ritchie stated that RocknRolla will be a trilogy, and that Ritchie has already written RocknRolla 2 & is planning out RocknRolla 3.
They were asking Gerald Butler if he is going to reprise his role from RocknRolla for the sequel.
So i'm not completely too sure about this Lobo news anymore, because i remember Ritchie saying in an interview that he did originally plan RocknRolla as a trilogy.
And BTW, fuck you main audience for making "Punisher War Zone" bomb.
or undertaker
1) He's not fucking blue.
2) He's not PG 13. At all.
I hope this is mis-reported or gag news, even with how cool the Guy Ritchie part is.
