WONDERCON: THE LOSERS DIRECTOR SYLVAIN WHITE

Slyvain White, director of The Losers movie, said that he didn't try to jam everything from all the comics into the film.

"We really went back to the source material, starting with 'Ante Up,' which is Volume 1," White said during The Losers' press conference last weekend at WonderCon. "We follow the story linearly, so the cool thing is that it's really an origin story, how these guys became the Losers.

"It also leaves a lot of room from the source material for sequels. So hopefully people will love this movie and we can keep on enjoying the adventures of the Losers."

White said the comic book and artwork of Jock were direct influences in the movie.

"There's two things that I really focused on that I knew worked extremely well in the graphic novel," White said. "The first thing is the tone. The graphic novel has a unique tone combining really gritty visceral action with a really strong humoristic tone. The characters are really fun to navigate the action with. So that's the first thing.

"The second thing is aesthetically, the graphic novel is amazing and I really wanted to reflect that in the movie. You can't necessarily replicate frames out of the graphic novel. I don't think that helps anybody. But there's certain things that I talked about with Jock in terms of the use of colors and the graphic design of the novel that I really wanted to translate into the movie, so that your have a sort of comic-book aesthetic. But it doesn't hit you over the head with it. It's subtle and it eases you into that world."

White was asked about a Robotech movie that he reportedly wil be directing.

"It's not a project that's greenlit or anything," White said. "It's a great cult series. When it came out, I actually saw it in France growing up. It's a pretty amazing cartoon. I'm hoping it's going to come to fruition. I read a draft that's really good, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed."
