The Blot loves how many comic book based movies are being green lit by Hollywood nowadays. What’s even better is the quality of the movies being produced. One of the comic book movies I’m looking forward to the most is The Losers, directed by Sylvain White. I really enjoyed the Vertigo monthly series by Andy Diggle and Jock, and can’t wait to see how it’s translated to the silver screen.
One of the coolest parts of the ad campaign for The Losers live action movie adaptation is that they took the cover artwork to The Losers #12 and adapted it into the movie promo poster above. Then they took it one step further by reproducing the comic’s artwork with the film’s actual cast. It was a killer idea that was executed to perfection. I seriously can’t believe no comic book themed movie had ever done this before!
The Losers is scheduled to premiere in theaters on April 23, 2010, and stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Clay, Zoe Saldana as Aisha, Chris Evans as Jensen, Idris Elba as Roque, Columbus Short as Pooch, Óscar Jaenada as Cougar and Jason Patric as Max.
