Kane Kosugi would be a great Storm Shadow.

My pick for Storm Shadow - Tony Jaa aka "Ong- Bak". Since this is the rise of Cobra then we need a young actor who is skilled in martial arts.
Dude, Ong Bak was the name of the statue.
I'm just saying it because Jay will if I don't.

I agree. He has some potential after seeing him in DOA...no, there wasn't a note of sarcasm.
The Shooter has a decent trailer, so I shouldn't be too concerned with their treatment with GIJoe.

He's the son of Sho Kosugi who was the ninja of the 80's and a great martial artist.
He's been following the foosteps of his father.

G.I. Joe Not Really G.I. Joe
A buddy movie with Action Man?!
March 7, 2007 - Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has revealed that Skip Woods (Hitman, Swordfish) is writing the screenplay for the live-action feature film version of G.I. Joe. Woods reportedly segued to the project after completing rewrite work on Live Free or Die Hard.
But fans should expect the G.I. Joe movie to be G.I. Joe in name only -- if the name is used at all. "Do you know Action Man? Action Man is the equivalent of G.I. Joe internationally pretty much. It's a different character, but pretty much the same idea and his name is Alex Mann. So we're creating a buddy movie between Duke and Alex. That's what we're doing," di Bonaventura told LatinoReview.com.
"All the characters will be there, and it'll be really fun but unfortunately our president has put us in a position internationally where it would be very difficult to release a movie called G.I. Joe internationally in a lot of places. I'm a big G.I. Joe fan and to add one character to the mix is sort of a fun thing to do."
The producer added that "Snake Eyes is a really difficult character" to translate to film and that the filmmakers will probably include Heavy Duty rather than Roadblock.
Di Bonaventura's biggest problem is with how to bring the Joes' adversaries, Cobra Command, to the screen. "If you saw Cobra executed the way that it's executed in the animation and in the comic book onscreen you would laugh, I believe."
He also reiterated that he wants Mark Wahlberg to play Duke.
Give me a fucking break. Another Hollywood asshole trying to re-create something so he can make a name for himself.

I hear ya, pal. I'm a hardcore Transformers fan, and I feel bad enough having Michael Bay and his cronies mess that up. Now, one of those same cronies wants to ruin GI Joe too? What the hell, Hollywood?QuoteG.I. Joe Not Really G.I. Joe

Wahlberg....meh.
Is Michael Clarke Duncan too big for Destro? Although by the sounds of it, Destro won't 'make the cut'
How about Ray Park (Toad/Darth Maul) playing Snake Eyes or Storm Shadow? Christian Bale would be okay too, as 'Radio Guy' suggested.

You have to know that Micheal Clarke Duncan would be playing Heavy Duty, or Roadblock pr whoever they use. I doubt Hollywood can think outside the box enough to do otherwise.Knowing Hollywood, they'll just use Vin Diesel, maybe with makeup. ::)

Get Bobby Lashley if you want a juiced up brother to be Roadblock. And he was in the Marines.

Neither are big budget actors but are really good actors. Seth green could easily add some of teh 'comic relief' of the cartoon while still being serious and not be too campy/stupid.
For snake eyes that's really an easy role to do....he doesn't speak so you don't need acting, just a kick ass martial artist which there are so many right now it's awesome.
