Stepping is coming back to the big screen. In the "Stomp the Yard" sequel, "Stomp the Yard: Homecoming," new feuds are about to get settled the only way they should: on the dance floor.
Star Columbus Short is returning for the sequel, but director Rob Hardy wouldn't share who else would be back for more stepping action. "As far as the actors coming back, well, there might be some familiar faces," he said when MTV News caught up with him at auditions for the film. "Keep in mind, this is four years after the first one took place, so a lot of those guys graduated. But because it is homecoming, you're sure to see a lot of familiar faces from the first one popping up on the screen. »
'Stomp the Yard 2' finds director
23 October 2009 1:32 AM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
I know this is absolutely no news to you, but I like to repeat it every now and then: there is absolutely no hope left for Hollywood. The sloppy sequels and remakes are winning, and it gets worse every day.
As you may have heard, Sylvain White's "Stomp the Yard" is getting a sequel too, and the film now officially has a director: Rob Hardy, who helmed 2005's "The Gospel" and produced the first "Yard."
The follow-up to the mediocre drama is titled "Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming," and as The Hollywood Reporter points out, Columbus Short ("Armored") may return as a talented street dancer.
No need to explain what happened in the first film, because you can guess it already from these few words: street dancer, college, and zzzzzzzzz.... The first film bagged more then $74 million, by the way. »

Stomp The Yard Sequel Moves Forward, Hires A Director
22 October 2009 8:07 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Columbus Short turned in a pretty remarkable performance in last year's Cadillac Records, playing the mercurial early Motown great Little Walter. But apparently he's just not quite ready to take on that serious acting career, as evidenced by his considering a return for Stomp the Yard 2, a movie is that is definitely happening now that Rob Hardy has been hired to direct it. Hardy was an executive producer on the first Stomp the Yard, and has his own scattered directing career behind him, though I have no idea how he plans to handle the street dancing that's pretty much the entire reason for this movie to exist. THR writes that shooting is scheduled to begin in Atlanta next month, even though Short's deal has yet to be signed. Maybe that's why they don't have plot details either? »
Rob Hardy to Helm Stomp the Yard 2

It's interesting that just yesterday we posted our coverage of the set visit for Armored which took place February 26 of 2008. While we were on-set, Columbus Short was asked specifically about a sequel to Stomp the Yard . We quote... Q: Have you talked at all about another "Stomp the Yard"? Short: Oh, no. I wouldn't be in it. Q: You wouldn't? Short: No. Come on! Some things are better left alone. I've learned that. I had my share of a sequel. I was in the "Save the Last Dance" sequel. That was cool. You've got to work your... »

Saldana Losers pic
8 October 2009 11:30 AM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
When you get a look at this pic of Zoe Saldana from the set of The Losers, you can understand why I look forward to it. Saldana is playing the role of Aisha, who joins the crew of Losers, Clay (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), Roque (Idris Elba), Pooch (Columbus Short), Jensen (Chris Evans), and Cougar (Oscar Jaenada). All the members join together to take down mastermind Max (Jason Patric) who organized the assassination of Aisha's Father. The comics creator Andy Diggle says Saldana is perfect for... »

Zoe Saldana Doesn’t Look Like any Loser I’ve Ever Seen
7 October 2009 9:17 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Oh, EW. Why, oh why? They get all these exclusive movie images and all they do is post shitty medium-sized versions of them on their site. What are they trying to save, bandwidth? Geez, I’ll never understand these people. Anyways, here’s your first look at Zoe Saldana in costume as Aisha in the upcoming comic book movie “The Losers”. The film co-stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Chris Evans, and Oscar Jaenada as former Special Forces soldiers who band together to take down the douchebag CIA agent (Jason Patric) who betrayed them and left them for dead. Our gang of merry men (and one hot woman) take the fight back to the CIA in an attempt to get someone’s attention. Blowing stuff up usually helps to do that. And the rest of losers: »

Zoe Saldana has been set to play Middle-Eastern hellion Aisha in "The Losers", and Entertainment Weekly has nailed the first look at the "Star Trek" actress in character. The first photo of the lone female member of the group was taken from the set, presenting the 31-year-old in costume which is completed with eyebrow piercing and tied-back hair.
Speaking about the casting of Saldana for the part, writer Andy Diggle who wrote the series opened up, "Aisha has to be deadly and desirable in equal measure, and Zoe embodies both qualities in spades." He furthermore added by promising, "Trust me, you've never seen her kick ass the way she does in The Losers!"
Based on the comic book series published by the Vertigo, "The Losers" has "Stomp the Yard" helmer Sylvain White taking the director's chair. Peter Berg and James Vanderbilt provide the script. Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars as Clay, »

A quick look at Zoe Saldana in 'The Losers'
6 October 2009 6:34 PM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
The folks at Entertainment Weekly are known for keeping things small, so here is a small photo of Zoe Saldana on the set of Sylvain White's "The Losers," based on the graphic novel by Andy Diggle and Jock.
The film follows a team of black ops commandos trying to survive are after learning their own government has planned to kill them. Chris Evans, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba and Columbus Short star.
Now, Saldana plays Aisha, a mysterious hellion who teams up with the gang. Although she's definitely capable of playing a badass fighter, she looks just darn innocent and sweet in the photo below, no? »

First Photo of Zoe Saldana in The Losers
6 October 2009 3:05 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Zoe Saldana is on a hot streak right now and it isn’t just because she’s hot. Hot off her victory as Uhura in “Star Trek”, Saldana still has “Avatar” at the end of the year, “Star Trek II” in her future, and in April 2010 she’ll be in the adaptation of the Vertigo comic series, “The Losers”. Saldana plays Aisha, “a mysterious South American hellion,” who joins forces with a burned CIA team (comprised of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Chris Evans, and Oscar Jaenada) to take down a common enemy played by Jason Patric. The first set photo of Saldana has just landed online so that’s why she’s smiling instead of being in character and scowling like her comic-counterpart. Check out the photo after the jump and click here to see a photo of the burned CIA team where Jeffrey Dean Morgan forgot to wear his wife-beater. »

First Look: Zoe Saldana in 'The Losers'

Don't let the smile fool you: Here's what Zoe Saldana looks like as a complete bad ass. Because that's what she's playing in The Losers, Warner Bros.' adaptation of the Vertigo comic book series -- written by Andy Diggle and drawn by Jock -- which follows a band of disavowed intelligence operatives trying to claw their way back into the world, by any means necessary. And some of those means involve massive amounts of property damage. Due in theaters in April of 2010, The Losers finds the once-and-future Uhura taking on the role of Aisha, a mysterious South American hellion »

New Set Pic from ‘The Losers’
25 September 2009 3:25 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
We shared the first images of the Warner Brothers’ film The Losers a little over a month ago. Now, thanks to the power of Twitter, we have a new image from the set of the film. Actor Idris Elba (The Wire) tweeted the picture, which features himself, Columbus Short, Chris Evans, Óscar Jaenada and Jeffrey Dean Morgan looking appropriately bad-ass as they wait on the film’s Puerto Rican set.
The Losers, which also features Star Trek’s Zoe Saldana, revolves around an ex-cia Black Ops team who seek revenge against the mysterious Max (played by Jason Patric), their former handler and the man who betrayed them. The film is based on the Eisner-nominated DC/Vertigo comic book series of the same name, which ran from 2003 to 2006.
Check out the image below:
Though we haven’t seen that many action photos from The Losers yet, you can be guaranteed there »

First Look: First Full Photo of The Losers Cast in Puerto Rico
22 September 2009 12:30 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Sylvain White's big comic book adaptation of The Losers has been shooting in Puerto Rico for the last few months. It's one of a few comic book adaptations coming up next year that I'm looking forward to quite a bit, namely because the cast is so awesome. Thanks to Idris Elba's Twitter (via Collider), we now have our very first unofficial look at five of the Losers in costume on the set in Puerto Rico. From left to right, you'll see: Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Chris Evans, Oscar Jaenada, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Sure it's not much, but I think this looks cool, and I'm already getting excited for this just seeing basic shots like this. Take a look! Originally a Special Forces team seconded to the CIA in the 90s, the Losers were betrayed by their handler, Max, and left for dead following the conclusion of their operation. »

First Image of The Losers - Idris Elba, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, Oscar Jaenada, and Columbus Short

Thanks to Idris Elba’s Twitter account, the first image from director Sylvain White’s “The Losers” has hit the web. As you can see, the image shows Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Chris Evans, Oscar Jaenada, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan on the set somewhere in Puerto Rico. More on the movie and the full image after the jump:
Since the film is currently in production and many of you might not be familiar with the comic book series… “The Losers” is based on the Vertigo comic book and it was written by Peter Berg (”Friday Night Lights”) and James Vanderbilt (”Zodiac”) and produced by Joel Silver (”Orphan”, the “Matrix” trilogy) and Akiva Goldsman (”Hancock”, “I Am Legend”).
According to IMDb, “after being betrayed and left for dead, members of a CIA black ops team root out those who targeted them for assassination.” The team is Clay (Morgan), Jensen (Evans), Roque »

Film review: Whiteout (Rating 15, 1hr 46mins)
17 September 2009 2:33 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Countless comic books and graphic novels are now being adapted into the medium of film, many of them not in the classic costumed superhero genre.
Whiteout is the latest example. The award-winning Oni Press comic book series centres on a Us Marshal called Carrie Stetko who investigates the first-ever murder in Antarctica just as a blizzard-battered winter is about to close in and leave her stranded there for six months.
A Warner Bros big-screen adaptation starring Kate Beckinsale as Stetko is now on release and, in the absence of a press screening invitation, I went to see it tonight.
The original comic has a second female character, with whom Stetko forms an intimate friendship, but for the film this was changed into a male Un operative played by Gabriel Macht, an actor familiar to genre fans for his recent starring role in The Spirit.
So does Whiteout work on the screen? »

Whiteout Review
12 September 2009 1:28 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Short version: While far from perfect, Whiteout does manage to keep you guessing until the end and ultimately doesn’t leave you feeling ripped off.
Screen Rant’s Paul Young reviews Whiteout
A while back, Kate Beckinsale was asked about her involvement with the next Underworld movie and she explained that she was done wearing tight leather outfits. I thought she might be serious, but man, she didn’t have to go overboard on the next film by walking around 95% of the time wearing a parka! But I’ve got to give credit to whoever wrote the opening scene for Whiteout, Oscar-worthy material my friend - in a scene that was obviously written to appeal to the young male audience, Beckinsale walks through the snow into her room and promptly removes most (read: not enough) of her clothing in order to take a shower.
The scene does nothing to move along, »

Movie Review: “Whiteout”
11 September 2009 2:49 PM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Seen on: September 11, 2009
The players: Director: Dominic Sena, Writers: Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chad Hayes, Carey Hayes, Cast: Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Tom Skerritt, Columbus Short, Alex O'Loughlin
Facts of interest: Sena also directed "Swordfish."
The plot: Kate Beckinsale plays a U.S. Marshal sent to investigate a brutal murder in the middle of Antarctica.
Our quick thoughts: After an eight-year absence from the big screen, Dominic Sena returns with “Whiteout,” an action thriller that makes me wish he would have stayed away for a couple of more years. Dump, predictable and incredibly monotonous, this film is one to avoid like a plague. In other words, it’s a cinematic catastrophe. »
