Ok, I shot my mouth off before thinking it through. The Rock is definitely not the best choice for Roadblock. My reaction was based more on the choice of character for the movie, rather than the casting. Who would choose Shipwreck over Roadblock? It's hard to take a figure seriously that comes with a musket, bell-bottoms and a parrot.

I admit it, I was wrong. (First time for everything. Hahaha.)

Oh, well, if you think about the parrot, you definetely CANNOT take Shipwreck seriously :D But what about the VvV version?

I see a very pesimistic Saboteur there :p







See haradrel, this is the way its done LOLOLOL

I'm not all that familiar with the VVV series. I'm just getting back into the figures, it's been since 89.

Looks like a real tough guy.

Edited:
I really found these shots interesting:
http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news...ttachmentid=933
http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news...ttachmentid=932

Isn't that storm shadow in the back of the car - or his stunt double maybe?

i don't get the power suits, i mean the Joes aren't Batman,they don't need special suits that do whatever it is they do,seems like they stole that idea straight from sigma six and let me tell ya it was a bad idea even then

Heh, I like the irony of Gijoe stealing from itself when making a real life action movie.

We don't know that these are the rumored power suit. - I have a feeling that the power suit is some MARS construct that will lead them to Destro (or hoping for it at least).

In fact, since they have been so thight lipped about everything, we know fairly little for sure - things change during production so, we might get something not expected.

not the movie, but there is a new joe cartoon coming out. here is the link for the interview.

I've got to say she looks pretty good as Baroness. Still on the bench for this movie though.

so the team logo is an eagle with a star, well i guess that makes more sense than slapping G.I.Joe on everything :D

Take another look at their camo uniforms, they're covered in GI Joe logos. I wonder what would happen if they were ever captured? So much for being top-secret.

INTERROGATOR: "What is the GI Joe team doing in our country?"
JOE: "I'm not with the Joes."
INTERROGATOR: "You lie! You are covered in GI Joe logos!"
JOE: "Uh... These aren't my pants! Somebody must have switched them when I was sleeping!"

I'm afraid the movie figures will "override" the originals and the changes that they made for the movie will become the new standard. Like the new cartoon, is it going to be based on old Joes or the movie Joes?

That's some bad news...

I hope they will show Snake Eyes practicing Tae Kwon Do and whatnot and not ruin it by making him train as a Ninja from the get-go (and completely ignore the characters background).

Any truth to this
 

I'm seeing on IMBD that Brendon Fraser has been cast as Gung Ho, this is ridiculous if it is true.

This movie is looking disappointing to me. :mad: :mad:

Casting Couch
Brendan Fraser is Gung Ho for GI Joe

Posted by Robert Fure (robert@filmschoolrejects.com) on April 24, 2008

Brendan Fraser is Gung Ho in GI Joe

Mummy series actor Brendan Fraser has confirmed that he’ll be taking on a role in the upcoming GI JOE film, bringing the films casting expenditures to just under $12 billion. Fraser will be handling the role of Gung-Ho, a former Marine who joined the Joe team. Hopefully they’re abandoning the original Gung-Ho.

What, you say? Well you see, Gung-Ho was from Louisiana and he was a cajun and had an accent. I do not want Brendan Fraser trying to do that accent. So he should just be some other Marine, rather than butchering his way through some faux-French.

GI JOE hits theaters on August 7th, 2009, and will follow the adventures of an international action team fighting against the evil terrorist group known as COBRA, as well as butting heads with Scottish arms dealer Destro.

G.I. Joe Will Show the Rise of Cobra
Source: Film1.nl
June 23, 2008


The Cinema EXPO in Amsterdam, The Netherlands kicked-off today and a new poster for Paramount Pictures' "G.I. Joe" movie has already been spotted. The poster, featuring Channing Tatum as Duke, reveals that the full title for the movie is G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra. What we're not sure about is if this is only for international territories, but the fact that Hasbro has the domain name GIJoeRiseofCobra.com registered is a pretty good indication that it will be the title here as well.

The Stephen Sommers-directed film, co-starring Dennis Quaid, Sienna Miller, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Said Taghmaoui, Marlon Wayans, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Arnold Vosloo and Christopher Eccleston, opens in theaters on August 7, 2009.

More G.I. Joe

In addition to this morning's new G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra poster featuring Channing Tatum as Duke, Film1.nl has added two more photos of posters featuring Sienna Miller as Baroness and Ray Park as Snake Eyes. Just click the links to check them out.

That's just spooky - I just read an article on the local online newspaper about her fake boobs and was about to post a translation.

So is Sienna Miller going everywhere talking about her chicken fillets, or did everyone just jump on what she said last week on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross? I know she was there mainly to talk about her current movie but when they touched upon the fact she finished shooting GI Joe a couple of weeks ago, apart from pointing out that GI Joe isn't one guy but is a team of the best of the best (which was admittedly cool of her to get out there), they just talked about her chest!

I have a horrible feeling..
 

I hope I am seriously wrong.. but why do I feel the movie will be like Street Fighter :o :(

Where did you get this?
Fraser as Rock&Roll would be awesome!

probably old news for most, but I noticed a few parts here that were of interest to me:



GI Joe Movie & Resolute SDCC 2008 Panel Live Coverage

Posted on www.hisstank.com at 07-24-2008 at 02:20 by Tony_Bacala


(1)
GI Joe, Rise of Cobra logo on screen. Â Goldner: Â Larry Hama was integral in bringing Joe characters to life in the new movie.
(2)11:47
Movie is unique due to there being multiple threaded story lines, there is no singular good/vs/evil situation. Â Baroness/Destro, Snake/Storm, etc etc. Â And more.
(3)11:47
Larry Hamma will have a speaking part in movie.
(4)11:48
Hamma did rip the movie guys about directions they wanted to go, and they listened to him when they could.
(5)11:50
Rise of Cobra was chosen because they need to introduce these characters to people and kids that have never known them. Â So you will see Joes and Cobra exist before they were either.
(6)11:53
Marlon Wayans is both funny and serious, not pure comic relief, plays serious role as Ripcord.
(7)11:55
Showed storm shadow and baroness pics. Â Storm kicks ass. Â Baroness has lots of torn relationships, that tear her in all directions.
(8)11:56
Duke and Baroness at one point were  engaged.
(9)11:56
 Duke leaves her at alter.  Shes pissed, you can see where that goes.
(10)11:56
Ripcord and scarlett have romantic interaction as well.
(11)12:00
Action scenes will not be many 4 minute battles. Â There will be 4-5 major ones, lasting for 10-15 each. Â BIG battles.
(12)12:06
they are saying while there are international elements, it is still GI Joe, and the focus is on Joe/Ripcord, and their team mates (and snake eyes, of course)/ Â And they are US military.
(13)12:08
There is a Snake Eyes/Scarlett issue. Â But due to him not talking, they couldnt develop that as much (in real life), so its set up where Rip Cord digs Scarlett, and Snake Eyes keeps c-blocking subtlely
(14)12:08
And eventually Rip cord asks Scarlett - Are you 2 a couple? etc. Â So its there.


1: Good Larry Hama was important
2: Not so sure about this one, at least we know that there will be multiple story lines. And hopefully one thread that connects them.
3: Heh pulling a Stan Lee, fun to see if I can spot him.
4: "listened to him when they could" what is that supposed to mean? ... Oh well at least he tried to get his say in.
5: Hopefully the movie ends when the Gijoe team is formed.
6: Marlan better be more serious then he is funny. He can do good serious roles, but he gets ridiculous as a comic relief.
7: Oh great torn relationships... Drama...
8: Excuse me but WHAT? I definitely don't like this part.
9: Oh great... enter "days of our lives" theme song...
10: WHAT?! :-s
11: Cool enough putting to much action in will kill the story
12: Good, Hopefully Snake Eyes is not French
13: Heheh, ok nr 10 makes more sense now, I can see this as being entertaining.
14: Good thing that they cleared that up, but if he turns out to be her Brother then I'm going to loose it...

I was thinking, if the movie fails, will it effect your collecting?

I mean if they do like Transformers and make awesome,beaten up Figures and playsets that would be great!
I'd buy'em :D

well i just hopeing they show it over in the uk :)

or i shall have to wait :mad: for it till it comes out on dvd then
watch it :(

hisstank just posted a pic of the lie action movie neo viper.

http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news...tachmentid=2161

Good heads up. I'm still not sure what to make of this movie, I'm waiting patiently for a trailer.
I don't know that much about Neo Vipers, shouldn't we get the "old" vipers before the "Neo" ones come into the picture?
Oh well, as generic bad guys they look the part.

Article about Cobra Commander,

http://www.superheroflix.com/news/62/31062.php

I read this somewhere - might have been a different place in this forum :-s

"one aspect of Cobra Commander from the cartoon will carry over - his voice. It won't be a perfect match, but Bonaventura says that Gordon-Levitt does leave his own unique vocal impression for the character. "


That cinches it. I am not going to waste my Money on this movie!

The producer compares Cobra Commander to the KKK. The movie makers have no respect for the source material.
