The Losers Cast Is Anything But
Mon, May 11, 2009 
Now, I've not read the books, and really had no interest to, until the film started to get underway. For those not familiar with the DC Vertigo series, here is a brief synopsis from Wiki.
The Losers' reimagining was set against events surrounding and including the War on Terror. Originally a Special Forces team seconded to the Central Intelligence Agency. in the 90s, the Losers were betrayed by their handler, Max, and left for dead following the conclusion of their operation. Eager for revenge and the opportunity to remove their names from a secret CIA death list, the Losers regroup and conduct covert operations against the CIA and its interests, uncovering startling operations spearheaded by the enigmatic Max, whose influence within the CIA and U.S. government is unparalleled.[1]
The film will star Jeffrey Deam Morgan (The Comedian) as Clay, Idris Elba as Roque, Zoe Saldana as Aisha, and Columbus Short as Pooch, the Losers. Now comes word from aicn that the villainous mastermind who has been toying with The Losers will be played by none other than Jason Patric!
I must say this cast is shaping up to be a phenomenal one IMO, and should bode well for director Sylvain White. My interest is piqued for sure, and I'll certainly be getting the books and eagerly anticipate the 2011 release of this film.

I agree. It's shaping up to be a great cast.
And there is something about that cover that I really like. ;)
