Off Topic / G.I. Joe's Channing Tatum remoured to play Captain America
« on: March 16, 2010, 02:32:53 PM »
I found this on CNN, I could not resist since they have mentioned so many people to play this role:
(Entertainment Weekly) -- Marvel Studios' search continues for the perfect actor to don the red, white, and blue suit and spread American ideals in the big-screen adaptation of "Captain America."
Today's rumor mill throws "G.I. Joe's" Channing Tatum into a mix of 20-something-year-olds that include the known, Ryan Phillippe, "Fantastic Four's" Chris Evans; the semi-known, "Tron's" Garrett Hedlund (UPDATE: We're now hearing that Garrett is no longer in the running), "Cloverfield's" Mike Vogel, "Gossip Girl's" Sebastian Stan; and the unknown, "Young and the Restless's" Wilson Bethel.
The studio held lengthy screen tests last weekend for at least four of those actors (Hedlund has not yet screen-tested, though sources believe he is the studio's first choice), and Marvel is expected to have a decision soon.
In the meantime, we've got a few plot details to share.
Sources tell EW that "Captain America," which is set to begin filming in June for a release next summer, will be shot on location in London as the Joe Johnston-helmed movie will feature a stylized 1940's WWII backdrop. And while Cap won't be fighting Hitler as he did in the very first Captain America comic book, he will battle Red Skull, Hitler's right-hand man.
Probably the biggest challenge with Marvel's casting challenge is not the "Captain America" movie, but what comes next.
Marvel's plans include an "Avengers" film that will bow in summer 2012. And anyone familiar with Marvel lore knows that Captain America is a father figure to the rest of the Avengers. That means Marvel's casting choice for Cap must be someone who can go toe-to-toe with the likes of Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man, Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury, and Chris Hemsworth's Thor, to name a few. "They're casting two franchises here," said a source close to the production. "This is no easy feat."

Off Topic / Conan Movie remake reunites GI Joe actors
« on: March 16, 2010, 02:28:10 PM »
I was searching the web and found this interesting news bite on MTV.com
'G.I. Joe' Actor Joins 'Conan' Cast
With principle photography of director Marcus Nispel's "Conan" reboot scheduled to being in Europe later this month, the film has begun to shore up its remaining cast members. Earlier this week, Ron Perlman was confirmed to play Conan's father, Corin. And now, actor Said Taghmaoui has also signed on to appear in "Conan."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Taghmaoui will portray a "leader of thieves" who is saved by Jason Momoa's Conan and later becomes his ally. Taghmaoui will also reunite with his "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" co-star Rachel Nichols, who is playing the female lead, Tamara.
Taghmaoui has previously appeared in "The Kite Runner", "Vantage Point" and the BBC miniseries "House of Saddam." He also had a brief stint on "Lost."
The report also offers new details about Stephen Lang's character Khalar Singh , who is said to be "a ruler in search of a queen whose blood will bring life to the demonic minions of a long-lost god."
"Conan" was originally created by Robert E. Howard in the '30s as the star of a series of adventure novels. Momoa has recently mentioned that his Conan will be more influenced by Howard's version than the previous "Conan" movies starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Conan" is scheduled to invade theaters in 2011.

« on: March 16, 2010, 12:59:54 PM »
I was at a TRU at Cedabrae Mall (Markham Rd and Lawrence Ave.) and they had the following figures that I found hard to find:
Nano Vipers x2
GI Joe Pit Commando (Holding Shield) x1
Night Adder x1
I hope this helps out who are missing these figures.

I guess the first step is to admit to your mistakes and correct them. 
Thankfully Bounty Hunter Toys has a great selection of older Joes for me to start looking at. :wink:

My Joes are still in there package as I'm still in a never ending basement renovation project and do not want them to be covered in dust. Please excuse my unfinished walls in the photos as the background.
