Hollywood Reporter reported that actor Holt McCallany will star in Silver Pictures The Losers feature film distributed by Warner Brothers.

Losers is adapted from the DC Comics/Vertigo comic book title. If you've never heard of it your in for a big treat.

The story revolves around a group of Black Ops forces who, after being betrayed by their handler Max (Jason Patric). they regroup to seek revenge and conduct operations against the CIA.



McCallany reported will play Wade, a special forces officer who left the Losers group.

Sylvain White be directing the movie.

The Losers” set for an April 16, 2010 release date.

Over at Standard Attrition, the group blog for Vertigo Comics creators, Jock — who illustrated “The Losers” alongside writer Andy Diggle — reports that production starts in three weeks in Puerto Rico now that the casting phase is complete. Indeed, the main cast was finalized today.

The original cover above shows five of the six main characters from Losers. They are, clockwise from top left, Jensen (Chris Evans), Cougar (Oscar Jaenada), Pooch (Columbus Short), Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Aisha (Zoe Saldana). Elba’s character is not pictured!

LEEE777 - Well im just happy as larry we're getting all this news for these Dc movie projects. I personally cant wait for this Green Lantern and Jonah Hex!

Heard of the title, but never read it. I did enjoy Jock and Diggle's take on the Green Arrow origin in Year One.

LEEE, I'd love to see a Green Arrow movie probably more than anyone. With that said I dont think Supermax is the movie I wanna' see.

Anil, I love DC's villian teams. Secret Six is a great ongoing and Terror Titans was one of my favorite minis this year. I'd like to see a Suicide Squad film done wether its live action or animated. Also I dont think Green Arrow would have to be known to be successful, look at Iron Man. Plus I think if Warner Bros is looking for another dark comic book hero Green Arrow could go that way. Mike Grell's run on G.A. in the '80s was very dark and gritty. In those stories Dinah gets raped and sliced up and to save her Ollie has to kill the attacker.

Anil @ There is gonna be a SUICIDE SQUAD movie!!! ; )

Why would you want animated??? Dc doing loads of animated movies already? Live Action all the way!

LONGBOW @ I thought SUPERMAX was a nice twist of GA, though id like to see a GREEN ARROW year one too!

LEEE, I like the idea of showcasing DCs villians and I like the idea of a Green Arrow movie, but I'm not sure them together would be right. At least not without a back story on G.A. established.

LONGBOW @ Maybe WARNER BROS are thinking, do the SUPERMAX movie first (which i think something like that has never been done before) and then do that GREEN ARROW Origin movie, though its gonna be a few years after SMALLVILLE has run its course coz of the GREEN ARROW in that, fresh in peoples minds.

Your right though, GREEN ARROW does have that something that TDK had, grit! You know GREEN ARROW is like a main Superhero in SUPERMAX they could easily put another HERO in his place, the movies mainly about SUPERMAX, GREEN ARROW or no GREEN ARROW if you get my point!

Not many do lol! Heh heh. ; D
