THE LOSERS MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Warner Bros. has released a description for The Losers, the film based on the DC Comics property scheduled for an April 9 release.
Here's how Warner describes the film:
"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."
The Losers stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Holt McCallany, Oscar Jaenada and Jason Patric.
The film was directed by Sylvain White , written by Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt and produced by Joel Silver and Akiva Goldsman.
JONAH HEX MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Warner Bros. has released a description for Jonah Hex, the film based on the DC Comics property scheduled for a June 18 release.
Here's how Warner describes the film:
"Jonah Hex is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone...and anything. Having survived death, Jonah's violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the 'other side.' His only human connection is with Leila, whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah's past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can't refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull. But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah's oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead. Based on the legendary graphic novel, Jonah Hex is an epic adventure thriller about one man's personal quest for redemption against the vast canvas of the battle between good and evil."
Jonah Hex stars Josh Brolin, John Malkovich, Megan Fox, Michael Fassbender, Will Arnett and Michael Shannon.
The film was directed by Jimmy Hayward, written Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor and produced by Akiva Goldsman and Andrew Lazar.
RED MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Summit Entertainment has released a description for Red, the upcoming movie based on the WildStorm comic book by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner.

Red will star Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren and Mary Louise Parker, and will be directed by Robert Schmentke.
Summit lists the film "in pre-production" with a fall 2010 release. Recent trade reports indicate an Oct. 22 release.
