An explosive action tale of betrayal and revenge, “The Losers” centers around the members of an elite Special Forces unit sent to the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. But the team—Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar—soon find that they have become the target of a deadly double cross, instigated from the inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max.
Making good use of the fact that they are now presumed dead, the group goes deeply undercover in a dangerous plot to clear their names and even the score with Max. They are joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda, who is more than capable of scoring a few points of her own. Working together, when they’re not arguing amongst themselves, they have to stay one step ahead of the globetrotting Max—a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war for his own benefit. If they can take down Max and save the world at the same time, it’ll be a win win for the team now known as The Losers.
“The Losers” stars Jeffery Dean Morgan (“Watchmen”) as Clay; Zoe Saldana (“Avatar,” “Star Trek”) as Aisha; Chris Evans (the “Fantastic Four” films) as Jensen; Idris Elba (“Obsessed”) as Roque; Columbus Short (“Quarantine”) as Pooch; Oscar Jaeneda (“Che: Part Two”) as Cougar; and Jason Patric (My Sister’s Keeper) as Max.
Sylvain White (Stomp the Yard) directed the film from a screenplay by Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt, based upon characters appearing in magazines published by DC Comics / Vertigo Comics. “The Losers” is produced by Joel Silver, Akiva Goldsman and Kerry Foster, with Steve Richards, Andrew Rona, Sarah Aubrey and Stuart Besser serving as executive producers and Richard Mirisch co-producing.
The behind-the-scenes creative team was led by director of photography Scott Kevan (“Stomp the Yard”), production designer Aaron Osborne (“Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang”), editor David Checel (“Stomp the Yard”), visual effects supervisor Richard Yuricich (“Orphan”), and costume designer Magali Guidasci (“Zombieland”). The music is by John Ottman (“4: Rise of the Silver Surfer”).

The Losers are Returning to April

Last week, Warner Bros. Pictures moved director Sylvain White’s The Losers from April 9 to June 4 in order to get it away from Clash of the Titans’ April 2 release and to fix some things from a recent test screening.
It sounds like the studio will be able to do this much quicker as they’ve now decided on an April 23 release date for the action-thriller, starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Holt McCallany, Oscar Jaenada, Jason Patric and Peter Macdissi.
Bloody Disgusting has learned exclusively that Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Losers, Red Dawn, The Resident, Watchmen) will star alongside Sam Worthington in the murder mystery Texas Killing Fields, with Michael Mann producing through his Forward Pass shingle along with Michael Jaffe. Mann’s daughter, Ami Canaan Mann, will direct from Donald F. Ferrarone’s script. The story focuses on the true story of a pair of police officers who undertook to solve two decades of disappearances and homicides — totalling as many as 60 victims — in the industrial wastelands surrounding Gulf Coast refineries. It was previously reported that Worthington will portray a local homicide detective who works with a New York transplant to wage a war against the unknown but fierce killers. Lensing will start in April in Louisiana.

The Losers Moved Back to Summer

With Warner Bros. Pictures moving Clash of the Titans back a week to April 2nd so that the film can be released in 3D, the studio has now decided to move Sylvain White’s comic book adaptation The Losers away from its previous April 9th date as well. The film will now be released on June 4th.
The move is interesting for several reasons. It now leaves Fox’s comedy Date Night as the only wide release on April 9. Also, moving The Losers to June 4th puts the movie in theaters just one week before Fox’s The A-Team, the movie to which The Losers has been compared to the most.
The other wide releases scheduled for June 4 right now are Get Him to the Greek, Killers and Marmaduke.

“Watchmen” star Jeffrey Dean Morgan has signed on with director Michael Bassett (“Solomon Kane”) for the psychological thriller “The Unblinking Eye,” which Juliusz Kossakowski and Kevan Van Thompson will produce through their Wind Fish Motion Pictures operation.
AV Pictures, which also handled world sales on Bassett’s “Wilderness,” is selling the title in Berlin.
Bassett penned the script, in which homicide detective John Callisto (Morgan), now a retired recluse after being nearly murdered by a serial killer, is tracked down by a relentless journalist. As the two confront each other, dark secrets from both their pasts come to light.
The pic, which AV said is budgeted at just over $10 million, is set to shoot in May
