who is watching “Watchmen” actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s career will surely tell you the same thing — the man’s keeping busy. Already filming “The Losers” and hoping for a role in “Lobo,” Morgan will soon sign on the dotted line for yet another well-known franchise.

According to Variety, Morgan is nearly set to star in “Red Dawn,” the modern update of the 1984 classic. The new version is directed by Dan Bradley from a screenplay by Carl Ellsworth and Jeremy Passmore.

The new “Red Dawn” focuses on a group of teenagers that form a guerrilla resistance against Chinese and Russian soldiers that have invaded the United States. Morgan is set to play the leader of a U.S. Special Forces team that discovers the teenage freedom fighters.

Aside from Morgan, “Red Dawn” stars “Star Trek” actor Chris Hemsworth and “The Wackness” lead Josh Peck as Jed and Matt Eckert, the two brothers previously played by Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen in the first film. The on-screen collision of Hemsworth and Morgan represents a clash of different comic book properties — Hemsworth is starring in “Thor” for Marvel, while Morgan’s already featured in the aforementioned “Watchmen” and “The Losers.”

With Guy Ritchie announced as the director for “Lobo,” it’s only a matter of time before the main man himself gets cast. I’ve already listed some of my suggestions for who should play Lobo, but there’s another actor that’s vying for the role—and despite his former status as a Comedian, his designs on the last Czarnian are hardly a joke.

The actor who plays Sam and Dean’s father on ‘Supernatural’ says he has not been contacted by anyone although he has expressed his willingness to re-appear.

Should creator Eric Kripke decide to bring back John Winchester down to earth on “Supernatural”, the actor portraying the character is ready to get in action. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, in his chat with Movie Web, said that he really wants to come back for at least one episode before the show ends for good this season.

BURBANK, Calif.– Principal photography is under way on Dark Castle Entertainment’s action adventure “The Losers.” The film is based on the comic book series published under DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint, and is being directed by Sylvain White (“Stomp the Yard”).

“The Losers” features an ensemble cast that includes Jeffrey Dean Morgan (“The Watchmen”), Zoë Saldana (“Star Trek”), Chris Evans ( Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer ), Idris Elba (“Obsessed,” “RocknRolla”), Columbus Short (“Stomp the Yard,” upcoming “Whiteout”), Holt McCallany (“Vantage Point”), Óscar Jaenada ( Che: Part Two ) and Jason Patric (“In the Valley of Elah”).

An explosive tale of double cross and revenge, “The Losers” centers upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team—Clay (Morgan), Jensen (Evans), Roque (Elba), Pooch (Short) and Cougar (Jaenada)—find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max (Patric). Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they’re joined by the mysterious Aisha (Saldana), a beautiful operative with her own agenda. Working together, they must remain deep undercover while tracking the heavily-guarded Max, a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war.

Sylvain White directs “The Losers” from a screenplay by Peter Berg (“Friday Night Lights”) and James Vanderbilt (“Zodiac”), based upon comic books written by Andy Diggle and illustrated by Jock. The film is being produced by Joel Silver (“Orphan,” the “Matrix” trilogy) and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman (“A Beautiful Mind,” “I Am Legend”).

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes White’s “Stomp the Yard” director of photography Scott Kevan and editor David Checel, as well as production designer Aaron Osborne (“Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang”), Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor Richard Yuricich ( Blade Runner, Mission: Impossible II ) and costume designer Magali Guidasci ( AVP: Alien vs. Predator ).

“The Losers” will shoot entirely on location in Puerto Rico.

The film is scheduled for an April 2010 release and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan was out and about in Santa Fe again. This time around, Morgan was shopping at Doodlet’s last Sunday after a brunch at the very popular Café Pasqual’s. He purchased a skull and crossbones decanter with matching glasses. Interestingly, Morgan was confused with Robert Downey Jr. by folks in the store — an understandable mix-up if you look at their photos, and makes La Mitotera wonder if Morgan, not Downey, was the star spotted recently shopping at Jackalope. Hmmm …

Morgan is in the state to film Invasion of Privacy with Oscar-winner Hilary Swank, and played Denny Duquette on Gray’s Anatomy.

Just added a bunch of photos of the episode 5.23 of Grey’s Anatomy “Here’s To The Future – Part I“.

Summer is almost here, and it’s not just temps that are heating up. Hollywood’s hottest will be sizzling on the big screen, and the TV Guide Network has scoop on the sexiest movie stars to look for, all season long. Making the list are Katherine Heigl and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who will give audiences a double-dose of heat in their respective upcoming films, The Ugly Truth and Taking Woodstock. Both actors became household names as ill-fated Grey’s Anatomy lovers, Izzie and Denny — a story line that one TV Guide Network expert muses gave Morgan “an all-access pass to women.” Do you agree?
