Director Guy Ritchie has decided to put directing a movie based on the comic-book character “Lobo” on hold while he tackles the sequel to this winter’s hit movie, “Sherlock Holmes.”
According to Hero Complex, Ritchie has cleared his schedule to start preparing work on “Sherlock Holmes 2” for Warner Bros., meaning that his attachment to “Lobo” is no longer a certainty.
“I don’t think he’s going to do [‘Lobo’],” said Joel Silver, who is a producer on both “Lobo” and “Holmes.” “The studio wants us and Guy to focus on making another ‘Sherlock Holmes.’ So I think we’re going to be doing that.”
While there’s a chance that Ritchie could still direct “Lobo,” that would mean a postponement for the project. Silver thinks it’s more likely that the comic book movie will go to another filmmaker.
“I would guess [‘Lobo’ will go to] a different director,” he said. “It’s all happening at once now. Everybody is talking about everything. … It’s an ongoing conversation.”
