Warner Bros. Pictures has hired Tim Story to direct the big screen adaptation of THE LOSERS, by writer Andy Diggle and artist Jock. Peter Berg wrote the screenplay.

Based on the comic book from DC Vertigo, the plot centers on a highly trained and eclectic Special Ops team that is set up, betrayed and left for dead. They go on a quest to find who sold them out and why, righting wrongs they encounter along the way.

Berg was originally looking to direct the project. Peter Berg will still produce along with Akiva Goldsman.

Mania first announced the project in September 2005.

Um, after his fiasco of a film FF, I'm really surprised he keeps getting jobs. I guess money is the ONLY thing that talks in hollywood. I'm also surprised anyone is excited about his second FF feature. The guy is pretty much, IMO, a below average director. Of course, the FF also suffered from a poor script. So, we can cut him some slack there.

Well, while i think Peter Berg is a more capable director, I enjoyed the first FF movie and I even enjoyed Taxi, because unlike most people, I tend to take a movie for what it is, that way I can enjoy it more, although, there is always an exception. The story for the first FF wasn't that good, but it was a fun movie, and that's all im looking for.

You can't say the guy is a below average director, off of one film that you didn't like. "Barbershop" is a pretty good flick. And Every good director in has bad films out there.

Story isn't a bad director. This project could work, I suppose, but it does sound a lot like a certain '80's TV show, as MutantNinjaLoungeSinger noted above. I'll make up my mind when we get some more info, but I'm really not expecting much here.

I think you can say he's a good director, but he's not really a visualist type, like Ridley Scott or Guillermo del Toro. He's probably more of an actor's director, but if he's being hired to do another comic book movie, it's because of FF and FF2. The studios like to hire the guys who can pull off comic book movies, whether they're good or bad.

I thought FF was fun. It's from a frickin comic book that was always kind of campy. Why don't people like the movie. It was funny. What more do you want?

We did an excellent job with Fantastic Four, so I'll be looking forward to this.
