"Losers" comic book finally on way to big screen
Friday November 7 6:46 AM ET
"Stomp the Yard" director Sylvain White is in final negotiations to take the helm of "The Losers," breathing new life into the adaptation of the gritty DC-Vertigo comic book.
The project has come close to fruition before, with such directors as Peter Berg ("Hancock") and Tim Story ("Fantastic Four"), among others.
"Losers" follows a highly trained and eclectic Special Ops team that is set up, betrayed and left for dead. They go on a quest to find who sold them out and why, righting wrongs they encounter along the way.
The tales of "Losers" ran in the pages DC Comics' "G.I. Combat" and "Our Fighting Forces" in the 1970s and revolved around the adventures of a misfit group of U.S. troops during World War II. The book was relaunched about six years ago under the company's Vertigo imprint by writer Andy Diggle and artist Jock, who turned the title into a modern action-espionage adventure book.
You all know guys I'm usually very optimistic about any comic book movie, but I've never read this new version of the Losers, and I'm just not excited to see a War book turned into a standard spy flick. We got enough of those already. Let's see the originals.
