New Images From 'The Losers' Movie

By Brian Kronner on 10.08.2009

For those of you who never read the 32 issue run of THE LOSERS that ran for 3 years, starting in 2003, you’re missing out. Hopefully not for long though. The cast for the upcoming film adaptation looks great (for the most part), and with any luck, they’ll do the book justice.

Entertainment Weekly released a couple of pictures from the set, the first one, a group shot is below.

So for the uneducated, your cast of characters is as follows (As per Wiki: POSSIBL E SPOILERS)

Colonel Franklin Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) - The Leader, easily identified by a consistent use of black suits without ties. A meticulous planner, initiative-taker and an excellent leader, Clay harbors the largest grudge against Max, at times appearing visibly angry at the mention of his name.

Roque (Idris Elba) - The second-in-command, easily identified by the large, vertical scar down the right side of his face and icy demeanor. His ruthless thirst for money motivates a majority of his actions.

Jensen (Chris Evans) - The hacker, characterized by his spiky blonde hair, glasses and a conspicuous beard on his chin. Known for his nonstop motormouth that often leads him into trouble and a variety of conversational tangents.

Cougar (Óscar Jaenada) - The sniper, identified by his cowboy hat and haunted demeanor. Morose and laconic as a result of a traumatic combat incident in Afghanistan. An absolute genius with the rifle.

Sgt. Linwood ‘Pooch’ Porteous (Columbus Short) - The pilot, identifiable by his shaved head and laid-back appearance, has been known to pilot any ground, air or sea vehicle with ease. Despite his involvement with the CIA and Special Forces, is also married with children.

Aisha (Zoe Saldana) - The loose cannon, identified by her eyebrow piercing and tied-back hair. Partners with the Losers in light of their common goal of killing Max. Skilled in all combat skills, with particular emphasis on melee and reconnaissance, stemming from a harsh upbringing in Afghanistan and Pakistan, primarily fighting as a child against Soviet soldiers during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. A cold-blooded killer who prefers to leave corpses rather than survivors when she engages the enemy.

Max (Jason Patric) - A Keyser Söze-like mastermind wielding unprecedented, covert influence over the U.S. intelligence community and military institutions. Although the current Max enjoys substantial influence over the CIA and infamy throughout the Black Ops community, the "Max" codename predates the CIA itself by several years.

(The above picture of Jason Patric, the blue one, not the red, is from a movie called NARC. If you haven’t seen it, check it out, excellent.)


So like I said, EW released and couple of pics, one you already saw. The 2nd, because you can never have enough of Zoe Saldana, is below.
