Joel Silver: 'Lobo' test has been filmed

Lobo producer Joel Silver has revealed that a test of the forthcoming movie has been filmed.

Silver said the test was filmed with next year's San Diego Comic-Con International in mind.

"We're working on Lobo now," Silver told Collider. "I was looking at a test we made and I was seeing it through the eyes of Comic-Con - through the eyes of that audience.

"It's important to know that that audience is the biggest in the world. That's the audience that you want to get."

It has been speculated that Comic-Con may be the place where fans are afforded their first glimpse at Guy Ritchie's movie adaptation of DC Comics' mercenary anti-hero.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan - who portrayed The Comedian in Zack Snyder's Watchmen movie - has expressed an interest in playing Lobo in the film.

"I like Jeffrey Dean," said Silver, "but you know we’re working our way through it. We'll see what happens."
