Johnson Keen On Doing Lobo Movie

Dwayne Johnson says that talk of him playing alien bounty hunter in the long gestating live action film adaptation of the DC Comics title "Lobo" is true.


In the comics, Lobo is an alien interstellar bounty hunter. The seven-foot tall, blue-skinned, indestructible and heavily muscled anti-hero rides 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 them.

If cast, Johnson would reunite with director Brad Peyton who worked together on "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island".

Joel Silver, Akiva Goldsman and Andrew Rona will produce the pic.

"Rumors of me possibly playing LOBO are true. Joel Silver and Brad Peyton working on it now. That could be fun" Johnson says on Twitter. The studio has not set a release date yet for the film.

The project has been in development for several years--It stalled again when Guy Ritchie left the pic for the "Sherlock Holmes Sequel and due the not-so-hot reaction to "Jonah Hex."
