Wonder Woman Screenwriter Jason Fuchs to Write Lobo Movie

Warner Bros. has tapped Wonder Woman screenwriter Jason Fuchs to write their upcoming Lobo movie. The Wrap is reporting that Fuchs is working on the script for the cosmic DC film, which has been in pre-development for many years. According to the report, Fuchs will scrap previous visions for the film, essentially starting the project over from scratch. Warner Bros. has not confirmed or officially announced the hiring.

Lobo is a popular anti-hero for DC, created in 1983 by Keith Giffen and Roger Silfer. While initially portrayed as a straight villain, Lobo became popular in the 1990s when Giffen reinvented the character as a parody of violent characters like Wolverine and the Punisher. Lobo became known for his ultra-violent methods, with unexpected victims like Santa Claus or comics convention attendees. In the New 52, Lobo was reinvented as a more svelte and attractive character to mixed reaction.

WB began development of a Lobo movie in 2009, with Guy Ritchie originally attached to direct. At one point, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was in talks to play the intergalactic bounty hunter, although he eventually moved from the project to play Black Adam in a planned Shazam film. Machete actor Danny Trejo recently tweeted his interest in playing Lobo, although there were no confirmed reports that WB ever approached him to play the character.

Trump Predicts Riots If He’s Denied Nomination

Donald Trump warned of “riots” around the Republican National Convention should he fall slightly short of the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination and the party moves to select another candidate, the New York Times reports.

Said Trump: “I think we’ll win before getting to the convention, but I can tell you, if we didn’t and if we’re 20 votes short or if we’re 100 short and we’re at 1,100 and somebody else is at 500 or 400, because we’re way ahead of everybody, I don’t think you can say that we don’t get it automatically. I think it would be — I think you’d have riots. I think you’d have riots. I’m representing a tremendous, many, many millions of people.”

Inside Marco Rubio's Hollow Campaign

So while other campaigns touted “shock and awe” fundraising networks and precise, psychographic analytics and voter targeting operations, Rubio’s tight-knit group of mostly 40-something bros believed wholeheartedly that they didn’t need a specific early-state win. They didn't need a particular political base. They didn’t need to talk process. They didn't need a ground game. They didn’t need to be the immediate front-runner.

All they needed was Marco.

Their confidence bordered on arrogance. Sure, his closest advisers—campaign manager Terry Sullivan and media strategists Todd Harris and Heath Thompson—were right that their candidate was likable. He began the race as the second choice of many Republican primary voters. They just never figured out how to make voters embrace him as their first.

Trump was drawing away the cameras they had banked on lifting their rising star, sucking up all the media attention as he dominated media cycle after media cycle, setting the parameters of the 2016 debate, day after day. Suddenly, their telegenic candidate couldn’t get on TV.

And when Rubio stumbled, as all candidates do, there was no infrastructure to catch him, no field program to lift his support, no base to fall back upon.

All they had was Marco.

You know your party sucks when

The biggest cause for celebration is a candidate winning his home state.

Godzilla watching tonight's results.

If I were a Republican, I would hate Ben Ginsberg's guts.

He sits at that desk every Tuesday night plotting out loud how he can deny all those Republican voters their nominee. I really don't think that's going to play well.

Predictions for next week: AZ for Hillary and UT for Bernie.

Mark it.

MSNBC: HILLARY WINS MISSOURI!!!!

A couple of thoughts tonight on the Republicans.

Their nightmare just came true. The golden boy Marco Rubio is out. Cruz may not walk away from tonight with a single win and John Katich has his win in Ohio and reason to keep going and splitting the anti-Trump vote But I take special pleasure in the political demise of that bag of air, Rubio. This guy never accomplished a single thing. He used Republican Paty and Florida state credit card for his personal shit. And did all what little he ever accomplished looking in the mirror.

By, Little Marco.

I'm calling Missouri for Hillary.

The remaining votes are in her areas. Bragging rights only as she in Bernie will split the delegates roughly 50/50.
