G.I. Joe movie

[Greyfox327]

As the title says, they're making a G.I. Joe movie and releasing it in August 2009. I wanted to know if anyone else is excited too.

Below are links of Ray Park as Snake-Eyes,(The one with a katana. ) Channing Tatum as Duke, Sienna Miller as the Baroness, and Dennis Quaid as General Hawk. (Note: Duke is out of costume, and it is believed this is before she becomes Baroness.)

Snake-Eyes

Duke

The Baroness

General Hawk

Discuss.

Meh, not really, files aren't public btw.

Would this be the same movie that Christopher Eccleston'll be in?

I don't care if you don't like it. First reply! Whooooo! But, yes Eccleston is Destro in it.Wonder how they'll pull that off.... Oh, and pics are public now.(I got so used to deep-linking that I forgot about that!I was too lazy to resize the pics.)

I'd bee interested if it's like the recent Transformers movie: a decent remake of a classic 80's series. Plus the pictures still aren't public.

Gaaaahhh! I've fixed the links.

Snake-Eyes

Duke

The Baroness

General Hawk

They're supposed to be basing it on the Marvel comics. I think they got Snake-Eyes perfect.

I'm not at all familiar with GI Joe, but I might go and see the film anyway. I know enough to say that Snake Eyes looks really good though.

The comics are hard to come by, so, unless you watched the original show or the new version, you won't know much.

Here's Snake-Eyes from the comics in case you've never seen him before: http://www.answers.com/topic/snakeeyesposter-jpg-1

The cast is as follows,

Channing Tatum --- Duke

Dennis Quaid --- General Hawk

Joseph Gordon-Levitt --- Cobra Commander (Yes, I know)

Sienna Miller --- The Baroness

Rachel Nichols --- Scarlett

Christopher Eccleston --- Destro

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje --- Heavy Duty

Arnold Vosloo --- Zartan

Marlon Wayans --- Ripcord (AAHHH!!!)

Said Taghmaoui --- Breaker

Byung-hun Lee --- Storm Shadow

Can't wait to see pics of everyone else!

Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Fantastic. And Destro. We need Stalker - he was one of the best of the comics.

Stalker would complete the "un-named war" trio of Storm Shadow, Snake-Eyes and Stalker. I hope we see Kamakura and some B.A.T.s too.

I'm excited to see it, Greyfox327--one of the few movies that I'll go to the theater for.

Curious to see how they're going to incorporate the old story for the movie--for example, Snake Eyes, Stalker, and Storm Shadow served together in Vietnam, which would make them a wee bit old for battles of world-supremacy.

Maybe Lego will pick up the movie license....probably not, but how cool would that be? Actually, weren't there some G.I.Joe non-Lego brick sets released a while back?

Well there was a few sets called built to rule...or something like that.

A few years back i created alot of GI Joe vehicles and custom figs, so i would love to get proper lego versions.

Devil's Due Comics changed the war they served in to an un-named conflict in southeast Asia. I'm worried they might try to change the reason Snake-Eyes is mute, and try to pair Duke and Scarlett up in a romance.(It was Snake-Eyes and Scarlett in the comics.) But, as I said, they're supposed to be basing it off of the Marvel comics.

And, yes, Built to Rule made a G.I. Joe line, but, it used the 3 3/4 inch figs. I think that the new Agents line is going to try and mimic G.I. Joe. The van reminds of the R.O.C.C. from Sigma 6.
