▌STW ▌Idris Elba Gets Candid w/ New York Times | Shadow & Act

I'm always happy to talk about Idris. :D Always.

Anywho!

Very recently Idris Elba (aka DJ DRIIS!) had a fireside chat with the New York Times as he revs up for the hallaballoo surrounding The Losers, opening in theaters tomorrow.

Read S&A's money shots, and then read the article in full over at NYT. In the meantime, just...idk...drool.

Here's a preview of 'Losers', set to premiere in April 2010 and also featuring the lovely Zoe Saldana as well as [YAY!] Idris Elba (Daddy's Girls, Obsessed, American Gangster).

Saldana will not perform the function of FOX News' 10-ft. CGI [imperial] dream girl, however, she will be the kick-butte belle, Aisha, of Andy Diggle's 1980s comic gone big-screen.

The Losers are a CIA Special Forces Unit tired of "witnessing one too many covert atrocities."

They dead themselves in a helicopter "accident" in order to return to the U.S. and subvert the CIA's domestic operations "one heist at a time."

Columbus Short (Stomp the Yard), soon to appear in 'Sex and the City 2' will pop up in 'Losers' too. You can check him out now, though, in 'Armored' alongside Laurence Fishburne (CSI and the world...).

Oh. And Andy Diggle doesn't mind you downloading a free issue of 'The Losers' from DC Comics.

Get excited.

'Losers' is directed by Sylvain White. Set to premiere April 9, 2010.
