G.I. Joe the Movie

But we already have the cool 80s cartoon movie. Cobra Commander dies in it. Now the live action CG Transformers movie is what I really have my eyes on. Now all we need is Thundercats and our lives would be complete

Memepool posted this today. I'm scared for life.

More importantly, who will play Golobulus, the leader of the Himalayan-bound Cobra predecessor, Cobra-La? Burgess Meredith was splendiferous as his voice; I can't imagine another voice, especially if it didn't include Meredith's succotash S's.

Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are going to be the roles to fight for.

I can pretty much "get with" all of those suggestions, but Paul Walker as Duke? No way! I think Paul Walker's a good actor and all, but Duke definitely needs to be someone more 'mature'; if Howie Long could actually act, he'd be perfect; other that him, I could easily see Viggo Mortenson as Duke (see him in 'G.I. Jane'). Besides, Duke was a senior NCO, and Paul Walker is MUCH too young for that. What about Kurt Russell as Hawk, Jet Li as Storm Shadow, Jason Lee as Clutch, Micheal Clarke Duncan as Roadblock, and Colin Farrell as Flint? Catherine Zeta-Jones as the Baroness has me drooling, though :)

I agree with Lawdogg. Paul Walker is not old enough to pose as the character role of Duke. Duke served during the southeastern skirmish(vietnam?) and Walker is way to young to play someone who is a master seargent. Ideally I could imagine a casting that consist of this:
Sgt.Duke (Ed Harris - he has the perfect haircut and square jaw as in Apollo 13). Roadblock (Micheal Clark Duncan as a perfect fit). Sgt Stalker (Carl Weathers...see Predator - who else?) Lady Jaye (Demi Moore with the short hair cut) Jinx (Lucy Lui) Dr. Mindbender (Anthony Hopkins a.k.a. Hannibal Lecter). Flash (Keanu reeves) Leatherneck (Johnny Depp playing mental again)I agree Catherine Zeta is a perfect fit for Baroness

There is only one choice for Scarlett and that is Laura Prepon.

i saw a poster for it in a wizard magazine, it has micheal clarke duncan as roadblock, gary oldman as cobra commander viggo mortenson as duke and jennifer garner as scarlett. i think it comes out july 4th of next year

Snake Eyes = Ray Park. His performance as Darth Maul from "Star Wars: Episode 1" was all the convincing I needed. Hope they go with the comic book relationships as well; Scarlett was what made Snake Eyes more human and less super-hero.

This is such agreat news!!!!cant wait to see it. How about Neil Mcdonough (Band of Brothers)as Duke, Keanu Reeves as Flint, Demi Moore as Lady Jaye or Baroness, Jennifer Garner as scralett.

geeze guys u know that there is no way all those stars will be in a gi joe movie. Count on 1-3 semi stars and the rest no names. Does not really matter though, great movies come from no-names.....before lord of the rings everyone was like "Viggo who?" "what is a Viggo?"

he is sooooooooooo cooooool

Thanks for the comments regarding my cast post on Nov 17th. Looking forward to the movie now that Paramount has taken the project on. Lorenzo and Gordon will get alot of credit once they pull this off and the Millions and Millions are made. I have updated my new E-Mail addy if you want to send me some comments. Take care and YO JOE!!!

PS: I liked Viggo's work in G.I.Jane and that is why I thought he would be a keeper as Duke in the movie, it had nothing to do with LOR. There is a good reason as to why I picked the cast that I did.

Please keep in mind that with such a great cast it would cost a whole lot, but, if the cast agrees to take on percentages of what the film makes it is an easy sell. Records would Definitely be broken, you know it and I know it.

I've always thought that Mariska Hargitay from Law & Order: SVU would do the trick as Lady Jaye.
She's got the short hair and the tomboyish good looks to make it happen.

If you chrome plated Avery Brooks' head, he'd look and sound exactly like Destro.

i hope gijoe movie based on the cartoon it was hit back in the 80's and i thought of a cast for the movie that would be great here it goes
Brad pitt or viggo mortensen :duke
roadblock: ving rhames
scarlett: julianne moore
lady jaye: Ashely Judd
flint: that guy from jag
snake-eyes: Ray park
general hawk: tommy lee jones or dennis quaid
alpine: Will smith
bazooka: david arquette
doc:samuel l. jackson
stalker: denzel washington
ace: ben affleck
ripcord: matt damon
gung-ho: goldberg
dusty: matthew mccanahand
shipwreck: colin ferrel
ice berg: jaime foxx
spirit: wes studi
cobra commander : Tim roth
destro:micheal clark duncan
baroness:demi moore
major bludd: Gary oldman
zartan: Triple H
Tomax and xamot: CHRISTIAN Bale
serpentor: BILLY ZANE
WILD BILL: tobey keith
storm shadow: JET LI
FIREFLY: STEPHEN BALDWIN
that's all i have for now i think it will be the next big movie of all time i wish i can be part of it.

Duke - Bruce Willis
Destro - Arnold Schawrzenneggar or Lawrence Fishburn
Cobra Commander - Axl Rose (The voice would be great)
Scarlet - Someone older than Alicia Witt
Roadblock - BIG Ving Rhames
Flint - The guy from Jag
Maj. Blood - Gary Oldman
Gen. Hawk - Tom Beringer
Stalker - Wesley Snipes
Snake Eyes - Dolph Lundgren (He won't be speaking so what the hell, the guy can move like S.E. should.)
Lady Jaye - Charlize Theron or Milla Jovovich

i think they should put jim carrey to play cobra commander since he can shriek the voice and may be they should consider some one like stallone to play flint or someone like charlie sheen to play duke and they could put richard o brien for destro and sean connery for rock and roll or snow job since sean has a beard.
and they should

here is my thought. there will not be a lot of big name people so here is a small list i have compiled so far. go to pictures.yahoo.com/ez75074 for pics of them.

duke - jason lewis

flint - thomas gibson

rock n roll - thomas jane (once you see the pic there is no other choice)

scarlett - jenifer garner

snake eyes - ray park

storm shadow - donnie yen

destro - vin deisel

baroness - monica bellucci

stalker - eamonn walker (tears of the sun)

beach head - nick chinlud (tears of the sun)

tunnel rat - paul francis (tears of the sun)

falcon - casper van dien

hawk - kurt russel (think soldier)

clutch - hugh jackman (although not likely he is
a dead ringer for clutch in devils due)

wetsuit - balthazar getty (anybody with devils due battlefiles will know when they see the pic)

i think it should be mostly newbies maybe one or two kinda seasoned actors. here is the list as it stands for me as of now. (mostly same as my one above.)

DUKE - Jason Lewis(though i have never seen him act by just looking at him i can see DUKE. square jaw, blue eyes, blonde hair.)

FLINT - Thomas Gibson(i recently watched an episode of dharma and greg where greg aka Gibson was in the reserves and all dressed up in uniform. made me think FLINT)

ROCK N' ROLL - Thomas Jane(i saw this picture from a movie premier and immediately though ROCK N' ROLL the beard makes it)

SCARLETT - Jennifer Garner(come on there is no other choice here. she is hot, at times has red hair, and knows martial arts. who else could be better for SCARLETT)

SNAKE EYES - Ray Park(i'm only goin with him cause the whole darth maul thing where he didn't talk and that he knows martial arts. just hope they would keep a mask on at all times)

STALKER - Eamonn Walker(in tears of the sun he just reminded me of what STALKER should be like. pluse he has a pretty good look for him. carl weathers is too old)

BEACH HEAD - Nick Chinlund(a pretty good actor he can do a good military part-as shown in tears of the sun-plus his overall look and voice is what i would picture for BEACH HEAD)

TUNNEL RAT - Paul Francis(i was either going with him or John Lequizamo-spelling?-but john is more comedian that serious war type.although not bad in Executive Decision. But based on looks and a role in a military movie i'm goin with Paul)

FALCON - Casper Van Dein(i saw this on another site and thought it fit pretty well. plus Casper has potential to be a good actor...he just needs a good jumpstart)

HAWK - Kurt Russel(for HAWK you needed someone older than the rest but not too old, so i went with Kurt. i thought his role and overall look in Soldier would be pretty good for HAWK-a lil old but can still kick a$$)

CLUTCH - Hugh Jackman(i got the battlefiles for devils due and saw CLUTCH. with Jackman's mutton chops from wolverine in xmen i think it fits CLUTCH to a T. although not likely cause he thinks he is somebody now)

WETSUIT - Balthazar Getty(i think this guy is a promising actor. plus he as the same beedy eyes as WETSUIT does in the battlefiles. overall i would say a close match)

ACE - Michael Trucco(ok he's already played a pilot before so there is a plus. he is also a pretty close look for ACE. i think it would work nicely)

COBRA COMMANDER - Willem Dafoe(the man just looks evil. plus from spiderman he has no problems coverin his face-just maybe showin it now and again. i think he is the only choice for CC)

DESTRO - Vin Deisel(big, bald, has the voice...come on this is a no brainer...except for his ego bein too big. and his paychecks..we can wish though)

BARONESS - Famke Janssen(i did have Monica Belluci but she kinda looks old from time to time so i figured Famke would do nicely..she got the looks and is more around the age of everyone else)

ZARTAN - Karl Urban(seein him in Chronicles of Riddick kinda made me think ZARTAN. he also kinda has a dark look too him. especially in the pic.

STORM SHADOW - Donnie Yen(i never though jet li would be a good ninja to me he can only do chinese. Yen on the other hand has a good japanese appearance-although he isn't-plus he's a badass with a sword ie. Highlander:Endgame, Blade 2)

So there is my cast so far and why. tell what you think...i like the feedback. also be sure to check the pics so you can kinda see why i chose them. later
