THE LOSERS Official Trailer

THE LOSERS cast photo
It's been a long wait, but it's finally here! Check out THE LOSERS official trailer, embedded below. You'll find a larger HD version over at The-Losers.com.

The trailer's flashed across the internet like wildfire, and the response from sites like EMPIRE and AIN'T IT COOL NEWS has been overwhelmingly positive. "This looks way better than THE A-TEAM" seems to be a common refrain on the message boards. Bodes well!

There's also a nice little article on the movie over at the L.A. TIMES, featuring this new cast photo based on Jock's awesome cover art.

THE LOSERS opens April 9th. Spread the word!

THE LOSERS Trailer Preview On ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT

ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT have released an exclusive preview of THE LOSERS trailer which debuts on the show tonight, Friday 29th January 2010.

Here's a taste -- turn the sound up, it plays pretty quiet:



Even this brief glimpse shows how faithfully they've used lines and story beats from the comic -- "If you want your life back, you're gonna have to steal it," Jensen shooting the guy with his finger, Aisha with the rocket launcher, "Outstanding!"

I'm chuffed they've even used THE LOSERS comic-book logo designed by Steve Cook (using the Quagmire font created by Rian Hughes, typography fans!).

I'm assured the full trailer should be released online within the next few days, and that it'll play before Mel Gibson's EDGE OF DARKNESS this weekend. Let me know if you see it on the big screen!

If this is your first taste of THE LOSERS, you can download the entire first issue for free (8Mb PDF), and buy the first 300-page graphic novel from your local comic shop, Amazon U.S. or Amazon U.K.

EDITED TO ADD: Many thanks to the fine folks at Jeffrey Dean Morgan Unlimited for making the footage available online! Be sure to follow them for all the latest news on the star of WATCHMEN and THE LOSERS.

THE LOSERS Movie Update

Latest news on THE LOSERS is that Spanish actor Oscar Jaenada has just landed the role of Cougar. This means that all six of the primary cast are now signed:

CLAY: Jeffrey Dean Morgan
ROQUE: Idris Elba
AISHA: Zoe Saldana
JENSEN: Chris Evans
POOCH: Columbus Short
COUGAR: Oscar Jaenada

Jason Patric has reportedly been linked to the role of neo-con arch-villain Max, though I'm not sure if he's officially signed. We've also heard of a possible great choice for Max's merc sidekick Wade, though we're waiting for an official announcement before blabbing.

Principle photography begins this summer in Puerto Rico. Hold onto yer hats...

New York Comic-Con Schedule

Running around like a headless chicken here getting ready for NYCC. My new Vertigo book isn't being announced yet, so my two "official" engagements are both for Marvel on Friday.

I'll be signing at the Marvel booth (that's booth no. 1141) on Friday from noon til 1pm.

Then I'll be joining the big guns for the DARK REIGN panel in room 7 (1A24) from 4:45 to 5:45pm Friday. And then I'll be hitting the bar.

Please do come along and tell me how awesome my Marvel work is -- ideally within earshot of Joe Quesada!

IGN on THUNDERBOLTS #128

IGN have just given THUNDERBOLTS #128 a rating of 9/10 in their review. Here's an excerpt:

Thunderbolts #128 is a damn good comic. It's packed with smart, biting lines of dialogue, interesting developments, a small but satisfying dosage of Diggle's brand of action, and a central conflict that's as compelling as any I've read in a long time. I always knew Diggle was capable of writing pulse-pounding action. This issue proves he's also capable of extremely intelligent character work and richly layered plot progression. With the dynamic but uneven Robert De La Torre showing significant signs of improvement with each issue, Thunderbolts promises to remain a must read for a long, long time.

Check out IGN.com for the full review.

Comics Bulletin on THUNDERBOLTS #128

Comics Bulletin have run the first review of THUNDERBOLTS #128, on sale today in the US. From the review:

In this issue we find the Black Widow and Ant-Man engaged in covert ops aboard Air Force One. It would seem that writer Andy Diggle is setting up these Thunderbolts as the opposite of Nick Fury's Secret Warriors. Osborn would now have a mirror team for Nick Fury as well as Captain America, the Dark Avengers vs the New Avengers...

The creative team has done a great job in this issue. Writer Andy Diggle uses dialogue quite well, with the entire cast sounding unique and true to their character. The art is excellent, both the consistent and sharp pencils and the mood setting colors. Each character is instantly recognizable and no two people look alike, and the scale used with certain size-changing members of the Thunderbolts is handled accurately.
