Winning Losers

Idris Elba and Zoe Saldana are the latest to join Jeffrey Dean Morgan in Sylvain White's "The Losers"according to The Hollywood Reporter.

From the pages of the Vertigo/DC series of comics, the story follows a Special Forces team betrayed by its handler and left for dead. The "losers" regroup in the interest of revenge, the opportunity to remove their names from a secret Central Intelligence Agency death list and to conduct covert operations against the CIA and its interests.

Elba will play a character named Roque, the group's scarred second-in-command who is motivated by money. Saldana will be Aisha, a cold-blooded loose cannon..

Peter Berg (whose great TV show Friday Night Lights just got a two-season, 26-episode renewal!!!!) and James Vanderbilt teamed on the script.

It's nice to see that Saldana is willing to extend her geek cred outside of Star Trek...
