Up until yesterday, I’d not allowed myself to actually think it was happening, as it’s been well over 3 years since we first met Pete Berg and things started moving. Three (maybe four) directors along the way, hearing it had stalled a number of times, we thought it was unlikely it’d see the light of day. I’m sure that’s part of the course in the movie world, but as it’s been both mine and Andy’s first experience with film, we’ve erred on the side of caution so as not to get our hopes up too much. But it got cast. It got a shooting date. It got a release date. Still, every time we didn’t hear anything for a few weeks, we assumed it probably wasn’t happening.

But yesterday, Joel Silver gave me a call (that was a first), and asked me to draw a one-sheet movie poster for THE LOSERS, to be given away at San Diego Comicon.

I’ll be drawing a version of #12, with some likenesses of the actors in place of the traditional comic cast. Here’s the original cover, in sketch, b/w and finished form.

I’ll have to squeeze in Idris Elba as Roque too, so I guess he takes the place of the palm tree.

I’m sure he’ll be pleased.

More as soon as I know it -
