Jason Fuchs Still Toiling Away On Lobo Movie

 

Only a week before Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice made its grand debut, it was revealed that Jason Fuchs had been appointed to breathe new life into Warner’s languishing Lobo adaptation.

Held up as the Deadpool effect, it was a sure-fire sign that a Lobo movie was back in contention at WB after slipping off the radar in recent months. And though it’s been some time since we last caught wind of the nascent project, Fuchs himself has posted a status update via Instagram confirming that, yes, he’s still toiling away on the screenplay.

Spotlighting the four-part Portrait of a Bastich series, Fuchs’s Lobo fleeting update indicates that the scribe could be pulling from older issues of the source material as he looks to finally whip the project into shape. He’s not the first creative to have a crack at the immortal anti-hero either, after director Brad Peyton was enlisted to write and direct a feature film based on Lobo, before that adaptation ultimately unravelled after stalling in development.
