First Look: Two Images from ‘The Losers’

Published by Jeff Leins on: November 27th, 2009

Warner Bros has released the first two official images from The Losers, an action movie based on a comic book series about a team of mercenaries out for revenge.  Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Zoe Saldana, and more star in the movie set for April 9, 2010.

They’re the obligatory “here’s who is in our movie” shots and a not-so-subtle American flag waving in the background.  I’m not familiar with the comics yet, but the director (Sylvain White) doesn’t inspire confidence.  His previous movies were Stomp the Yard and the direct-to-video I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer.

Here’s the official synopsis:

An explosive tale of double cross and revenge, “The Losers” centers upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team–Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar–find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max. Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they’re joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda. Working together, they must remain deep undercover while tracking the heavily-guarded Max, a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war.

Below are the two images via Slashfilm: a cast walk (probably in slow-motion) and an extremely unsexy pose of Saldana.
