The Random - The Losers, Deadworld, Tron 2

Jeremy Renner, who stars in The Hurt Locker, The Assassination of Jesse James, and 28 Weeks Later, told ComingSoon today at the New York Comic Con that The Losers is one of the projects that he's looking at joining soon. He didn't say which character he's interested in, but said that it's a "very interesting anti-hero graphic novel, I love that sort of thing." The comic, first published in the 1970's and again in 2002 by Vertigo, follows a highly trained and eclectic Special Ops team that is set up, betrayed and left for dead. They then go on a quest to find who sold them out and why, righting wrongs they encounter along the way.

At this week’s red carpet for Coraline, producer Bill Mechanic revealed to MTV News that he’s already got another project in the works with ties to the comics world — an adaptation of the comic book series Deadworld. Deadworld was originally published back in 1987 by Arrow Comics but was recently re-launched by Image in 2005. The storyline features survivors fighting off an apocalypse of zombies, but with the twist that the attacking dead are as sentient and intelligent as the living.

According to Radical Studios publisher Barry Levine (via io9), the full Tron 2.0 trailer is going to get its world premiere at this year's San Diego Comic-Con.
