? or is this a hoax

[Kane Knight]

There was just a GI Joe thread, but I thought they said they hadn't even started it yet, so...

Wait...2006? Are you asking if one's coming out, or one was released?

[The Naitch]

I don't know anymore

Live-action film

Paramount has commissioned the development of a live-action G.I. Joe film following the success of the 2007 Transformers feature film. The film is being slated for a 2009 release date with Stephen Sommers as the director[2][3] and Stuart Beattie as the scriptwriter.[4] The film will feature an international task force based in New York[5] (previously Brussels)[6] called G.I.J.O.E, (a backronym for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity), instead of the US-centric team featured in all previous incarnations, in order to internationally market the film.[2][6] The film will feature Destro and the Baroness as the main villains, the Dreadnoks as mercenaries (and Cobra's hired muscle), and Cobra Commander in a "puppet master" role. Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow's rivalry will be one of the film's main plot points.[5]

Sienna Miller has reportedly signed on to play the Baroness,[7] with Ray Park playing Snake-Eyes.[8]

hott shit

[ClockShot]

Scarlett.

Awwww. I was hoping they would go the Lady J route.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm praying for Zartan.

[Fignuts]

Thank fucking god they took it out of brussels. Would have been completely ridiculous otherwise.

[ClockShot]

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Said Taghmaoui have been confirmed as well.

God. Ecko would make a good Roadblock.

[Kane Knight]

Betting this'll be crap, really hoping I'm wrong. Ray Park as Snake Eyes will be badass.

Three more join the cast for 'G.I. Joe'
Posted December 20, 2007 at 11:27 AM

By Tim Briscoe

Can you tell I'm excited about next year's G.I. Joe movie? I posted my casting picks and, whether you wanted it or not, I have informed you on the selections of Sienna Miller and Ray Park for the movie. Needless to say, I'm reliving my childhood right now.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, three more have signed on for the toy-turned-action flick. Rachel Nichols will suit up as Scarlett. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje will play Heavy Duty. Said Taghmaoui has been cast as Breaker.

The beautiful Nichols starred in TV's Alias and recently appeared in the thriller P2. She stars as the red-haired, crossbow-wielding Scarlett. Nichols has also been cast in this year's Star Trek.

Akinnuoye-Agbaje is best known playing Mr. Eko on TV's Lost. Heavy Duty is G.I. Joe's weapons expert.

Taghmaoui was on TV's Sleeper Cell. He's in the new movie The Kite Runner. Breaker is the communications specialist for the team.

There are rumors that Byung-hun Lee will be cast as Storm Shadow -- the yin to the yang of Snake Eye's Ray Park.

Even though I am (or, was) a big fan of the '80s comic, toys, and animated TV series, I had no idea G.I. Joe was an acronym. According to THR, it stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity. Save that tidbit for your next grueling match of Trivial Pursuit.

G.I. Joe will be in theaters on Aug. 7, 2009.

Oh damn. This ain't gonna be the old school stuff I was hoping for.

[Kris P Lettus]

As long as Gung Ho isn't in it, I'm good cause he was kinda gay..

[Kris P Lettus]

http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/images/gungho_full.jpg

Seriously, he looks like a village person..

[Kane Knight]

What could be gay about a Naval Seaman?

[Kalyx triaD]

Marlon Wayans will lead the team as Ripcord.

...Okay...

[D Mac]

R U Serious

[Kalyx triaD]

Yes.

[Fignuts]

Pretty sure these people have never seen gi joe ever.

[ClockShot]

I'm having major doubts about this movie now.

[Blitz]

More cast: Dennis Quaid as General Hawk and Channing Tatum as Duke.

[Blitz]

And still more: Arnold Vosloo as Zartan and David Murray as Destro.

[Boondock Saint]

Quaid is actually a pretty awesome casting choice. :y:

[OssMan]

Pretty sure this is in developmental hell

[Blitz]

David Murray out as Destro, Christopher Eccelston is in.

[U-Warrior]

Who, the fucking jazz musician?

[ClockShot]

Hmmm. The last Doctor Who, eh.

I'd like to catch a some video before I pass judgement.

[Boondock Saint]

I kinda like that casting.

[Kalyx triaD]

Like DBZ this is another movie that should suck but I can't argue with the names involved (except for Marlon).

[Blitz]

Official image of Snake Eyes.

Fucking hot.

[Kalyx triaD]

He needs his SMG.

But otherwise nice garb. Let's the rest of the production keeps up (points for the symbol on his arm.)

[Boondock Saint]

Sick.

[Blitz]

So I was looking at the IMDB page. Apparently Joseph Gordon Levitt is cast as Cobra Commander. I'm hoping this is a mistake. I really live Levitt as an actor, but way too young for Cobra Commander.

[Blitz]

And another Snake Eyes pic.

[Jura]

I want muscles like that. Or at least a suit with muscles like that.

[ClockShot]

http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/images/gungho_full.jpg

Seriously, he looks like a village person..

Speaking of Gung Ho, I caught something on G4 that Brendan Fraser was being considered for the role. But only as a cameo.

Also, The Rock is being rumored to play Shipwreck, and Joe Gordon-Levitt is Cobra Commander. Found this info on imdb.com

The words, "Yama Hama" come to mind.

ZOMG SCARLETT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE IN BLACK! THIS MOVIE SUKZ!

[Indifferent Clox]

http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/2839/12873241nj0.jpg

I want a girl with an ass like that, or at least a girl in a suit with an ass like that.

[U-Warrior]

hol on, I'm gonna go find a gi joe forum and see how much they are spazzing about it.

Quotes to come, possibly.

[Indifferent Clox]

YES!!!!

[U-Warrior]

No spazzing yet, but people are bitching that it isn't the original color scheme. Cause bright yellow works so well for a realistic portryal of what is essentialy a stealth character.

Oh and a bunch of people said she looks too much like an x-man. I guess no one can ever use a black jump suit in movies anymore, since the x-men did it. And since they were the first to do it too, ya know.

God I love the internet.

[Indifferent Clox]

What kind of dorks post on a GI Joe message board anyway?

Don't they know that stuff's fake?

Was gonna make some pithy comment here, but I just feel way too sad for this person to do so.

[Kalyx triaD]

Scarlett looks fuckin hawt. This move... might be... cool?

[Jeritron]

Yes. A chick in a movie looking hot is always indication of it being good. That reminds me to go buy Honey and Glitter

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm just saying that I dig the production so far. Forgive me for getting excited by I was expecting something very stupid from these people and so far I'm hearing and seeing decent things. It's like all that stuff I was hearing before production was just to scare me.

Can't wait to see the vehicles.

[U-Warrior]

One more thing, I have to agree that this girl looks way too young and frail to be Scarlett. Does whoever-this-is look like she's grown up training to be the best in several different martial arts since the age of 9? Does she look like she can say that she "Graduated: Advanced Infantry Training and Ranger School. Special Ed.: Covert Ops School; Marine Sniper School; Special Air Service School; Marine Tae Kwon Do Symposium. Qualified Expert: M-14; M-16; M-1911A1; M-79; M-3A1; M-700...; Mac-10; XK-1 Power Crossbow; Throwing Stars; Garotte; Ka-Bar"? No She doesn't, and that excerpt is from her file card.She looks like Dr. Venom could beat her in a fight. .

lol

[Kalyx triaD]

Wow. That guy needs to lighten up.

Though I have my geek-out moments too.

[Volchok]

lol at that nerd.

Really not digging the uniformly black costumes on the Joes. Also Snake Eyes' pants look dumb. And I don't like seeing his mouth through the mask. lol at the first Hawk pic also.

[U-Warrior]

You couldn't pay me to go back to that gi joe forum, and see their reaction to this.

[Blitz]

Link me to the forum, I am far more masochistic.

[U-Warrior]

Suprisingly not seeing much anger yet, although this may be why.

Christ.

[Kalyx triaD]

Missing their personalized costumes (Scarlett was just being different), and I'll never respect Marlon as an action hero. Storm Shadow's look ain't bad and I like the Baroness.

Waiting for Destro.

[Jeritron]

kinda lame that they all wear the same uniforms. the cool thing about GI Joes was that they were all different

[Jeritron]

I want to see like Cobra and Destro
