The Warner's panel on Saturday rocked my socks, as Warner Brothers tends to do on a regular basis. The movies we learned about were The Losers, Nightmare on Elm Street, Splice, and surprise entry, Inception! Here's some tidbits from the panels and our take on said tidbits:
The Losers
-Director Sylvain White describes the movie as cool gritty visceral action with incredibly fun characters & moments.
-He was really impressed by the design work in the comic, especially with primary colors & brought that to the film
-New benchmark in boy girl fight scenes. (If the footage is any indication, hell yeah it is)
-Extended trailer was fucking awesome, Hilarious, great action, great chemistry right off the bat. And look EXACTLY like the characters. Like. Exactly. Wtf.
- JSM calls Calls Zoe, Zo! Aweee
-Zoe Saldana plays Aisha, little lethal weapon, don’t know what card she’s playing, lots of secrets
-Columbus Short puts the Reserved for Nic Cage sign in front of him and it’s awesome. His character, Pooch, is the emotional glue of the story
-Chris Evans is Jensen, the group's tech support, and destined to be my favorite character
-Oscar Jaenada plays Cougar, the team's silent sharpshooter, who stayed pretty silent during the panel and Eruditechick's interview. When our intrepid reporter pointed this out to him, he replied in his thick, sexy accent,"Just like my character"
-Cast has tons of chemistry and they clearly get along well. That's a set that must have been fun to work on.
-On putting the cast together - White got everyone he wanted, his first choices with this “crazy group of kids.” Characters are so difficult, each brought a different facet to the movie, and the actors needed to reflect that.
-“Chemistry was majestic from the beginning Can only make magic cause you are completely comfortable.” - Zoe
-Zoe is turned on by “no”
-Zoe insisted on doing scenes that required lots of physical activity. Zoe and Jeffrey Dean Morgan call each other hot. It’s hot.
-Does Chris Evans prefer comedic or dramatic roles? Both are fun to play, at the end of the day its about the director and making a good movie. Half the satisfaction is on set, but it’s sullied if the movie comes out and isn't good. ... I wonder what he could be talking about.... :)- Will Jeffrey Dean Morgan be making an appearance on Supernatural this season? Right now he is concentrating on the Losers, but maybe, if it’s the last season, he would love to go back and made it perfectly clear. He was pretty amused with the fact that someone asked about Supernatural at all, while not a single question was directed toward Zoe about Trek or Avatar or Chris about Captain America.
-They are all obsessed with Nicolas Cage signs. As are we. Win!
-It was easy for JDM to fall for Zoe. Clay & Aisha are very attracted to each other but don’t trust each other and are a bit on the violent side in the film. Zoe thought the fight scene was very romantic. Matched up to the personalities they have. JSM said fight was on a turn on…to the characters…he then gave an ACTUAL winky face
-Characters stay very true to the characters in the comic series
- To Chris Evans - Why the comic book films? Its such a great well. Films are tricky. Such an intangible world, making something out of nothing. Lots of weight on a directors shoulders. Comics provide an amazing map. Its fun for not just directors, but actors too. Good modern comic like the Losers translates well.
