that's only one of 4 scripts hasbro/paramount commissioned, so take it with a very large grain of salt

I didn't mind the first four for mindless entertainment, but I couldn't even sit through Van Helsing.

Stephen Sommers hired for G.I. Joe
Paramount has signed Sommers (director of the Mummy movies and Van Helsing) to helm what it hopes will become another hugely successful toy-based movie, ? la Transformers: a live-action G.I. Joe. The new flick, which will begin production in February for a 2009 release date, presents G.I. Joe not as any particular war hero but as a high-tech, Brussels-based operative force ? the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity ? that does battle with evil organization Cobra. The movie is said to be closer in tone to X-Men and Bond flicks than a war film. Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce, along with Hasbro chief operating officer Brian Goldner.
"Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity"....Guess people in Europe won't buy tickets to see A Real American Hero.....that's ass....

Still, the chances of this film being craptacular are high. Doesn't bother me at all because there is no way they are going to make G.I. Joe anything like the cartoon or comic. Cartoon was from another era and the comic is just way to involved for the average person who isn't in the know of Joe.
On a side note, I expect us to hit the # 50 mark for different versions of Snake Eyes if the movie does happen. That dude is like Batman. They'll give him a new outfit just to change a light bulb.

A brief story synopsis. I would say this is likely the truth, as it fits in perfect with the less than subtle questions the Hasbro Joe team were asking us at the con.

That's a TON of characters to bring into the first film. Although they don't name Joe names, that sounds like it's gotta be 15+ significant characters at a minimum.
Wow.

I have NO clue who she is. I didn't expect some big actors names to be attached to this anyway, but I'd at least like to look at the list of work she's done and go "Oh, ok, I've seen her before".
Upon checking her, I did find this: 2003 - Nominated for a Teen Choice Award : Breakout Star - Female for: "Keen Eddie" (2003)
And again I go "WHO"?

A great call. I actually think several of us voted for him when writing about "if we were casting the movie" a few months back.
I would've imagined him as Storm Shadow because he's kinda short, and I always imagined SE taller than his Asian brother.... ;D

I know that's why i said it, sinse the movie was said it was being released that was my first thought...the second is Michael Clarke Duncan as destro. Now can you see those two arguing....that'd be intense AND hillarous at the same time,,,,PERFECT, just like hte cartoon...actually maybe even better.Oh man, I can picture that now, and it would own!

Storm Shadow casted: Byung-Hun Lee

Don't know who she is, but Rachel Nichols is reportedly the front runner for the Scarlett part.
After seeing a picture of her here http://www.beyondhollywood.com/byung-hu ... in-gi-joe/ (http://www.beyondhollywood.com/byung-hun-lee-is-storm-shadow-rachel-nichols-is-scarlett-in-gi-joe/) , I can see her as Scarlett.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr. Eko from "Lost") will play Heavy Duty (NO ROADBLOCK??)
Sa?d Taghmaoui will play Breaker.

The problem with replacing Heavy Duty with Roadblock is that marketeers in the 80s did a really good job of making us love this gentle giant, machine gun-totting gourmet chef that speaks in rhyme. Then marketeers in the 00s did a much worse job getting us to like Heavy Duty for the same reasons. It made us resent Heavy Duty that much more. Now HD is going to be in the movie instead of RB? I've never hated a fictional character for what he isn't so much.

Bring on the rhyming chef, man!!
Post by: grunt 4 mvp on December 28, 2007, 12:06:44 AM
If I recall, they did change the names of some of the Transformers characters mentioned during casting. Unless there is some legal reason, I could see HD/RB changing too.
Also, I'm disappointed by the casting of Breaker - althought I do see the need for diversity, especially given the plotline for the movie. I guess I was surprised he's even in the movie, if only by name.
However, they will appease me, if he at least chews gum and blows bubbles constantly! :wink: That would be a fair homage to the original character!

What if they use the cartoon version of Breaker, with beard and no gum chewing action? Wouldn't bother me.Sorry, I was just being a fanboy... To me, the comic versions are the definitive versions of the characters. :P
