EXCLUSIVE: Brad Peyton, who helmed the global hit Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, has just been set by Warner Bros to rewrite and direct Lobo, the live-action film based on the DC Comics franchise. Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman are producing.
Lobo is an alien that works as an interstellar mercenary and bounty hunter. Introduced as a hardened, rarely used hard-boiled villain in the 1980s, the character remained in limbo until his revival as an anti-hero biker in the early 1990s, when he became on of the most popular characters in the DC Comics stable.

Peyton is repped by Verve and Piekoff Law.

That's because he looked like a space clown riding a unicorn. In retrospect a space clown riding a unicorn might have been cooler than the first appearance of our main man.

Thats funny, I was not aware that Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was considered a "hit".

A family friendly Lobo film is just what DC needs. :-?

So far, it's grossed $320.6M on a $79M budget, so yes, that's a hit.
