I was already having a great Christmas, and finding out we're getting a new Falcon figure just made it better :)

Most of the others are pretty cool too, but another Duke, Storm Shadow, and Cobra Commander? :mad: I might pass on those, but a new Red Star would be cool.

More Movie Casting
 

:eek: Marlon Wayans Recruited for G.I. Joe
Source: Variety
January 7, 2008


Marlon Wayans has signed on to play Ripcord, leader of the military unit in Paramount's big screen G.I. Joe. adaptation, says Variety. :confused:

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in negotiations to join the tentpole pic, which is based on the American soldier action figure created by Hasbro.

The war-themed story is set 10 years in the future. Stuart Beattie wrote the screenplay, while Paul Lovett & David Elliot and Skip Woods contributed earlier drafts.

The Stephen Sommers-directed film is set to start shooting next month in Los Angeles. Rachel Nichols, Sienna Miller, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Said Taghmaoui have already joined the cast.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who produced the Hasbro-based hit Transformers, is producing G.I. Joe. alongside the toy giant's Brian Goldner.

Paramount will release the film on Aug. 7, 2009.

Y'know I was kind of thinking of giving this movie a chance, but, come on, Marlon Wayans ????. Ripcord as the leader of the Joes?????? What happened to Hawk, Duke, or Flint, these guys were the de facto designated leaders. I don't think this will be another Transformers.

I'm sure that MUST be a mistake of whoever wrote that article.

i thought they casted mark whalberg as duke?

Mark Whalberg was in negotiations, but fell through.

I really hope they are wrong about a Wayans brother for this movie.

holy cow what happend to duke , hawk , flint , beach head come on , this movie casting sucks....

DON'T WORRY! I'm sure it'll get much worse before it's through! ;)

we should really just wait and see what happens with this movie, they're still casting and principal photography hasn't even begun yet, let's wait till all the cast members have actually been announced before we start freaking out :D

just read that he will not be playing ripcord in the movie but instead will be..Cobra Commander :confused: i no longer take anything that is said online seriously, i mean this is whack people i'm just gonna wait until all the casting is done and they announce who will play who in the flick
