FanFilmFriday - The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special


For this week, to stay on the subject, I'd like to post this lil' fanfilm of Lobo simply called...
The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special!

This is the closest we'll ever get of a live action Lobo movie to be honest.

Made in 2002 as an American Film Institute's studies exercise, it was directed by Scott Leberecht.
Lobo was portrayed here by a cetain Andrew Bryniarski.
(with Tom Gibis as the Easter Bunny and Michael V. Allen as Santa Claus)


It was actually based on a stand alone one shot comic of the same name.

The plot::
The Easter Bunny is fed up with the attention Santa Claus receives over Christmas so he hires Lobo, the Main Man to kill him.


With a simple budget of barely 2'400 $USD, it originally premiered at the AFI in May 2002.
And it looks fantastic!
I mean look at that, this is as good as Lobo will ever look live.
I'm sure Hollywood would totally scr*w Lobo if they got to him in an eventual real movie or a TV show (like Smallville or something).

Check it out, and if you already knew it, watch it back again:



So badass!
Fraggin' awesome!
