Cool trailer premiere: 'The Losers'

There's a new cool trailer in online town, and I encourage you to check it out after the jump. It's the first official preview for Sylvain White's upcoming action adventure "The Losers," and so far, I'm definitely liking what I'm seeing. The film follows a team of black ops commandos trying to survive are after learning their own government has planned to kill them. Chris Evans, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Zoe Saldana, Jason Patric and Columbus Short star.

The film is based on the graphic novel by Andy Diggle and Jock, and as this trailer suggests, we're in for a visually thrilling experience with some dry humor, tons of explosive action, and a solid dose of the beautiful Saldana. What more do you want from a film of this genre? A great cast, maybe? Well, it looks like you got that as well. "The Losers" will break loose in theaters April 9, 2010. Can they mess with "The A-Team"? Right now, I believe they can!

I still have not seen Frank Oz's 2007 hit comedy "Death at a Funeral," but the remake is already heading towards a release. It will open April 16, 2010, and first trailer has now shown up online!

'Stomp the Yard 2' finds director

I know this is absolutely no news to you, but I like to repeat it every now and then: there is absolutely no hope left for Hollywood. The sloppy sequels and remakes are winning, and it gets worse every day.

As you may have heard, Sylvain White's "Stomp the Yard" is getting a sequel too, and the film now officially has a director: Rob Hardy, who helmed 2005's "The Gospel" and produced the first "Yard."

The follow-up to the mediocre drama is titled "Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming," and as The Hollywood Reporter points out, Columbus Short ("Armored") may return as a talented street dancer.

No need to explain what happened in the first film, because you can guess it already from these few words: street dancer, college, and zzzzzzzzz.... The first film bagged more then $74 million, by the way.

A quick look at Zoe Saldana in 'The Losers'

The folks at Entertainment Weekly are known for keeping things small, so here is a small photo of Zoe Saldana on the set of Sylvain White's "The Losers," based on the graphic novel by Andy Diggle and Jock.

The film follows a team of black ops commandos trying to survive are after learning their own government has planned to kill them. Chris Evans, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba and Columbus Short star.

Now, Saldana plays Aisha, a mysterious hellion who teams up with the gang. Although she's definitely capable of playing a badass fighter, she looks just darn innocent and sweet in the photo below, no?
