Watch The Losers
When I hear of a title like The Losers, I naturally imagine a plot along the lines of a party of high university misfits who, after 4 years of bullying and oppression, finally make a decision to take a stand against the jocks and cheerleaders who ridiculed them during their adolescence.
A plot that I do not think of, however, is an elite Special Forces team of beautiful, muscular CIA agents who, after being betrayed and left for dead by a corrupt fellow member of the United States government, find some justified vengeance by kicking a great deal of ass and blowing all kinds of stuff up. Does not really sound like a bunch of "losers" to me. Actually would seem rather trendy.
Regardless of my misconceptions towards the title, The Losers is in fact the name selected for the upcoming motion picture from Dark Castle Entertainment and Warner Bros. The motion picture adaptation might be described finest as a film based on a comic ebook that was based on a comic ebook.
The original comic of the same name was released in 1970 by DC Comics and told the story of Captain Johnny Cloud and his contribution to an American Special Forces team in Europe during Planet War II. The story was then updated and re-imagined by Vertigo Comics (an imprint of DC) in 2003 and remained only somewhat faithful to the original by substituting the All-American soldiers with badass CIA agents and instituting the revenge theme.
And now, because Hollywood made a rule that all effective to mildly-successful comic guide franchises need to be turned into a motion picture, The Losers makes its way to the major display. The man calling the shots on the movie was director Sylvain White, a relative new comer to the industry whose preceding directorial efforts include Stomp the Yard and the forgetful I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer.
The option of White to direct had many fans of the resource material worried because of his lack of practical knowledge with the genre, or any genre for that matter. Fortunately, the positive buzz that has been garnered from early opinions and trailer reception has for the most part silenced the critics. The script White had to operate with came courteous of writer/director/actor Peter Berg whose past writing credits include Friday Night Lights and Really Bad Things.
In my opinion, what will make or break this flick is the chemistry of the cast, that is headed by Jeffery Dean Morgan, an actor who has transitioned from dreamy Grey's Anatomy hunk to comic publication action star flawlessly. His portrayal of The Comedian in last year's Watchmen was one particular of the main highlights of the motion picture.
Portraying the rest of The Losers is Chris Evans (Fantastic 4, Push), Idris Elba (Obsessed), Columbus Brief (Armored), Oscar Jaenada and the ridiculously warm Zoe Saldana, whose resume is rapidly becoming extremely amazing. She starred as Captain Uhura in the reboot of Star Trek and utilised performance capture to play Neytiri in the mega-blockbuster that is Avatar. Jason Patric (Narc, Sleepers) rounds up the cast as Max, the corrupt government insider hell bent on killing The Losers.
It is interesting sufficient to note that The Losers was created with a PG-13 rating in mind, something that all parties had been a part of in hopes of acquiring a more youthful, wider audience. The MPAA did in fact slap it with a PG-13 making it the primary Vertigo Comics adaptation and video made by Dark Castle Entertainment not be rated R. How this pans out is however to be determined.
Something is nonetheless bothering me however. The Losers comic guide from 1970 clearly defined why the characters called themselves "The Losers." Because each fellow member of the Special Forces team was a commanding officer who all lost men beneath them to casualties and felt personally liable, the deemed themselves "The Losers." Quite straightforward.
But I can't for the life of me determine why the beneficial looking, incredibly skilled characters in this motion picture or the comic handbook it's based on call themselves losers. They all appear quite trendy to me. I guess I'll just have to go see the motion picture to figure it out. It opens nationwide on Friday, April 23.
