Sounds like WB likes to compete.

All I know is that both this and The A-Team are getting my money.

This looks pretty damn good. The cast alone has my ass in a theater seat.

I'm guessing WB moved the release date back, given that the ads all say April 23rd as the release date.

Looks like they went PG-13 with this one.

Seems real similar to the A-Team but I don't have a problem with that at all. I'll see both of them, this looks great and the cast looks like a good one.

Honestly once I saw the trailer I was a bit turned off because it seemed to goofy. Then I re-read the books (for a 4th time) and realized the books are pretty damn goofy.

Too bad they're changing Aisha's back story (or so it appears).

Alternate trailer, I like it. I still want to see it. Need to get the comic cuz it seems pretty badass.

I'm looking forward to seeing this. I'm glad they stuck with the April release date. Once my son's out of school in June, my weekly theater visits on my day off will end.

Re: The Losers (S. White, 2010) — Vertigo book about betrayed ex-Special Forces team

Am I the only one who thinks this looks terrible? I see a great deal of people who are saying they think it looks good, AFTER they seen the trailer!

I understand saying that Before you seen it, but seriously?

It looks like all the other moronic shoot em up movies, like Shoot Em Up, Smokin Aces, etc.

oh well, I was somewhat interested before I seen the trailer. Looks uninspired and generic.

I'd watch anything* with Jeffrey Dean Morgan in it. I'm not gay, but I suspect I have a pretty big man-crush on the guy.

It's over the top action fun. And the comic's gotten really good praise so yeah it does. I didn't expect a drama, I expected silly action fun but maybe you're right it could end up being as awful as Shoot Em Up or Smokin Aces but those movies took themselves a bit too seriously.

Shoot Em Up took itself seriously? I dunno about that.

When I first saw the trailer I thought it was Javier Bardem. It looks like fun but the movie is too colorful and too censored at PG-13.

Re: The Losers (S. White, 2010) — Vertigo book about betrayed ex-Special Forces team

Wikipedia:

The film is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for "sequences of intense action and violence, a scene of sensuality and language." This makes it the first movie released by Dark Castle Entertainment (as well as the first Vertigo film adaptation) not to receive an R rating.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/...ff0a74f88d20bb

So having never read the comic...what kind of rating would a reader of the comic give an adaptation of that story?

I don't know about this, it looks too Hollywood. Explosions everywhere, insane over the top action set pieces, one liners galore...Ugh. The PG-13 rating doesn't help either.

Isn't that pretty much what they were going for?
