7 Hurt in G.I. Joe Crash in Prague

April 27, 2008


Seven people were injured Saturday in a collision between a bus and several cars during the filming of G.I. Joe in the center of Prague, reports the AFP.

Video seen on the private Nova television channel showed the bus, and then other vehicles, being hit by an all-wheel-drive vehicle that appeared to have braking problems.

"It happened in a closed area that was rented out to the filmmakers for the weekend," said Prague police spokeswoman Eva Brozova.

Jirina Ernestova, spokeswoman for the emergency services, said the injured were treated in hospitals in the Czech capital.

"According to my information, there were only slight injuries," said David Minowski from the local production house Stilling Films.

Thanks for the links haradrel!

Between this and the car going off the cliff for the new Bond movie.......it looks like the stunt people are really pushing the limits in the movies for the 'wow' factor.

*bump*

Well since its been quiet on the joemovie front lately I'm adding this picture to the gallery - the Joe team together - 'cause we haven't seen this yet - somebody with better photoshopping skills might make it look real, but for now we can at least see how they look next to one another.

Set Visit Preview: G.I. Joe

ComingSoon.net/Superhero Hype! got a chance to visit the set of Paramount Pictures' G.I. Joe on Monday where we watched Channing Tatum (Duke) and Sienna Miller (The Baroness) shoot an action scene complete with explosions and lots of water! Miller was stunning in her all-black tight leather costume and black hair, while Tatum looked rather fit in black slacks and a knit sweater.

Based on the action figures created by Hasbro, director Stephen Sommers' (The Mummy Returns, The Mummy) cast also includes Dennis Quaid (General Hawk), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), Marlon Wayans (Ripcord), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Rex), Rachel Nichols (Scarlett), Arnold Vosloo (Zartan), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Heavy Duty), Said Taghmaoui (Breaker) and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow).

As if being on set of one of the most anticipated movies wasn't enough, Lorenzo di Bonaventura gave us about a two-hour tour of the soundstages at Downey Studios in California, where the film was being shot.

The prolific producer, who couldn't have been more accommodating and courteous, showed us McCullen's underwater base station, the MARS lab, the interior of the G.I. Joe submarine and the remains of the Pit. He talked to us at length about the movie and we also got a chance to talk to Tatum, Miller and Park.

We'll have lots more on the set visit as we get closer to the film's release, scheduled for August 7, 2009.

Rex.

Crap.

new pics of destro, storm shadow and heavy duty.

Good to see Storm Shadow with his mask, now I wonder how they executed Destros :confused:

the baroness is HOTT!!! look at this pic

http://movies.ign.com/articles/872/872167p1.html

didnt think she could pull it off, but this one pic shows she can. oh, here is a pic of breaker too, but hes not so hot.

Awesome find!
Good to see Stormshadow in a mask, tho the penguin suit is still a bit wierd.

And good to know that Destro will have a mask - the nano thing is probably so they can move his face around, creating expressions so that it wouldn't just be one mask that had no expression at all.

Now we are missing Arnold Vosloo as Zartan, as well as Destro in a mask.

I'm happy enough with how they look. Hopefully we get to see at least some cammeo's of old costumes for some of the characters. I just realized that all the promo pictures of the Gijoe team is in The Pit.... Man am I slow...
Also noticed that Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes has the Arashikage symbol on their swords. At least they got something completely right ;)

"Unfortunately the character photo was taken before McCullen’s face was disfigured, and covered by A swarm of nano-mites, giving him the iconic metallic mask, which allows the Cobra Commamder to control his mind."


Waitaminute - Destro is controlled by Cobra Commander via his metallic mask... Oh well, guess that's one way to explain their relationship.

Hi everybody. I've been quite out of Joedios due to a lot of factors, one of them being a lot of work at the spanish Joe community. But anyway, I'd just like to know if the rest of you have the same impression on he look of those "movie Joes". I think that they have completely ruined the concept of G.I.Joe, wich was each character having a personalized uniform, rather than being all of them in the same suit.

I still dont't want to judge the film, even if it sends me negative vibrations, but I think the pictures we've seen so far are too X-Men-like; just look at Destro's in front of that gate clearly rescued from Xavier's School.

Head over to yojoe.com for some of the latest cast photos: Destro (sans mask), Baroness, Storm Shadow (in mask this time), General Hawk, Breaker, and Heavy Duty.

uhm, these are all covered here as well if you go back 1 page.

Well work and other things always keep you away from things/people and places you love ;)

I don't think they have completely ruined the concept of G.I.Joe - The concept wasn't in the uniforms, but rather people being from different branches and having different specialties. And as a military man myself (or rather having done my tour of duty) I prefer a unit that looks cohesive rather then a mix-match or ragtag appearance. As an example I'll put up Scarlett once again, I don't think you could sell her as a soldier in a form fitting orange and purple leotard, that just wouldn't look right (its kind of like the joke in the X-men movie from cyclops "What would you prefer? Yellow spandex?).
But I do think they could have gone another way with the uniforms, especially the camouflage uniforms that Cover Girl and Hawk are wearing (those are just plain wrong...) - It has been said though that there will be more then one uniform/suit for each character, so maybe we get to see the old comic book uniforms make a cameo or some such (Here's hoping!)

And on the Destro thing - We will get to see him in a mask, but I figure they will CG that to make it easier for expressions to show. - Did you notice the little button on his tie - I'm guessing that's a family heirloom (ala his necklace in the comics).

The Casting for me on this picture has been Complete success and complete miss at some levels, but I'll say more on that when the movie is released, they might have hit the nail on the head if its a good movie.

Truth be told and I've said this a lot: I expect the worst, but hope for the best from this movie.

Keep in mind, I thought that Transformers was one of the best movies ever! (I like that kind of humor and there were moments in the movie that brought back fond childhood memories).

As far as the hype from fans for this movie, I don't think it will ever live up to it. It will most likely fail in the eyes of the die hard fans because they didn't go that direction completely.

here are some vids of a chase in the joe movie.

looks like were getting a lil pick up in joe news all over the web. although the links above are from you tube. i first saw them on hisstank. just thought i should give credit where credit was due. usually if i find something somewhere, i post the link here, just in case some here dont have the time to hunt this stuff down. welp, back to tna wrestling for me, enjoy.

Good Find!

Now for someone to leak some footage of the actual heroes doing their thang.

I hope we get a teaser soon.

Goog point there haradrel, Joes are probably to be depicted in other suits besides those seen here. But I do think one of the charms of G.I.Joe is the variety of uniforms, in opposition of uniformity of regular, real military units. If not, then G.I.Joe would just have been BBI Elite Force, but they are not.

I also expect the worst for this film, specially as images keep showing up :D I think few of us will like it, but I also think we will have to be fair with it and try not to judge it as the die-hard fans we in general are, but from a more general, non-biased point of view.

EDIT: videos look cool, but I expected to see something acting as a HISS tank :D

EDIT2: Oh, well, in vid 3,... that COULD be a HISS:eek:

What? Where? all I see is the same Humvee lookalike.

They're changing costumes, characters and histories. I don't see the point of calling this movie GI Joe. This is going to be the worst adaptation since Starship Troopers.

Hmmm, wierd enough I found Starship Troopers entertaining :eek:
Starship Troopers 2 however is a movie I'd like to forget completely...

I guess the re-make in 5-10 years (5 years, that will make it 30 anniversary) will be better :p

But I find it strange that people come off so negatively without having seen a single scene from the movie. Is the uniforms that important to you? To use an old saying "its not the suit that makes the man" (I think I'm paraphrasing here).

I still have optimism left for this flick, I just hope we get a teaser soon so we can actually base some of our fan-judgement on something other then stills.

EDIT2: Oh, well, in vid 3,... that COULD be a HISS:eek:[/QUOTE]

I believe it's just a stunt vehicle designed for flipping cars but I could be wrong.

Personally, other than their code names I haven't seen or read anything about the movie that is true to the source material. Like everybody else here, I've spent a lot of time in the Joe universe and I've waited a long time for a movie. Now to see it all systematically dismantled is depressing.

The same goes for Starship Troopers.

Now add a CGI HISS tank on this vehicle...


... and in minute 1:02 there's a high heeled dark-haired woman walking by and staring at that vehicle. Am I getting too paranoid? :D

Only qualm I have with their code names is that they are calling Stalker for Ripcord (well Wayans looks more like Stalker then Ripcord if you ask me).

The story so far isn't that bad actually, its quite intelligent, if not completely correct to the source material - but even the source material is contradicting. From the Cartoons to the comics, there is always something that doesn't quite mesh, as well as the action figures and their filecards.

Just think of it as "their" joeverse, its definitely not the Cartoon, its not the comics, nor is it the action figures, but a new way of telling the story. I think I'm beginning to understand in my "older" days that directors don't want to recreated something that has been done before, but rather make something new and possibly unique.
Though we as die hard fans (because lets face it, that is what we are) won't always like the choices made by the directors and actors, because they could have done something different and closer to the source material.
What I am trying to say is, take it for what it is, not what it could be in your eyes. Because I'm willing to bet that there would be as many different versions as there are people on this forum ;)

Wow I actually think that made sense :eek:

I for one am anticipating some cool ninjostic (tm fifthconspiracy) fights from Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.
Very much like transformers - if there is one moment in there that gives me a nostalgic feeling and glee from my childhood, then it will be worth it. (To me in Transformers it was when Optimus Prime said "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings".

I know its easy to be negative about this, but how about discussing for once what we will enjoy if it reaches the silver screen? What we hope /wish to see?

Hmmmm... Not sure its there, but I know what you are saying ;) I hope we get to see Hiss tanks! (and the baroness firing wildly from one)

You're right. But that's the problem, if a director wants to do something new then they should do something NEW. Taking something like GI Joe and changing it isn't really being original. I'm not interested in their version, I like was originally created with the figures and then continued with the comics.

I love this site! I get to compete in the Special Olympics, I mean argue with people about GI Joe.

Hahaha, we're not arguing (yet ;) ), just having different opinions. And I totally see your side and understand it, but I also understand the need and feel for the movie to be different then what has been done before. I do however hope (as do the rest of us joefans) that they won't screw around with the story to much nor the "feel" of the joeverse - else we be forced to make a time machine and stop them, or put things right (alright its late and I'm tired, allow me my foibles darn you! ;) )

If the movie has a good story, that's the most important thing to me. I expect it to be its own separate storyline just like the cartoon and comic, and even some dio stories, are their own separate storylines.

I'm okay with different outfits for the characters. Most of the pictures I've seen for the characters have been pretty cool. It's probably been mentioned that Scarlet's orange and purple outfit (among other character's outfits) might look kind of silly in a live action movie.

If Ripcord ends up dying in the movie, I wonder how many people will still be upset he wasn't Stalker.

Personally, I can understand making the story different from what's been told before, at least in terms of the main events (character histories I'd prefer to remain faithful to the source) but I wouldn't say it's important to make visual changes and make it "theirs." They won't be repeating what's been done before -- there's never been a live-action represtentation of GI Joe, unless you count those toy commercials from the '90s! I do think the things that are going a bit far are Destro being mind-controlled by the mask (which I'm assuming asn't going to be a family heirloom), and the apparent likelihood that Cobra Commander is going to be a GI Joe traitor since Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been billed as playing Cobra Commander (which I'm going to have trouble taking seriously considering his age) AND this new character, "Rex."

Things like Scarlett's leotard I can understand changing, but putting everyone in identical suits isn't the only alternative. We've been told other crazy stuff like power suits giving action sequences "like Flash comics come to life" so maybe the black suits we've seen are for that sort of thing and we might see SOMETHING to tie them to their classic appearances at other times? Duke is the one that mystifies me the most (moreso than Ripcord even) -- they got an actor who fits Duke's physical appearance, and they've given him a 12" original GI Joe-style scar on his cheek, plus he's got a stylishly-trimmed goatee in at least some of the photos.

I'm hopeful we get to see some recognisable vehicles, but based on earlier reports with vehicles being named that we've never heard of I get the feeling the filmmakers don't see the vehicles as necessary to the iconic side of GI Joe. In fact, it looks like they've taken the most basic aspects of the characters (like name and specialty, with some physical characteristics for a few of them), listened to the spoken part of the cartoon opening ("GI Joe is the codename...") and then just made the rest up themselves.

I'm hoping the movie will manage to be fun in itself, but as a live-action representation of GI Joe I get the feeling it's going to be awful.

shipwreck cut from the movie and the hard master cast.

http://www.latinoreview.com/news/g-...ard-master-4621

I think Shipwreck not being in the movie is for the better. They get to flesh out his character at a later time, good - they might get it right then.

Hard Master needs a shave (or maybe he has shaved for this movie, who knows!).
Hope he does a good job :D (I've mostly seen this guy in B-movies tho - or rather B-roles)

Bad casting anyway. Roadblock would have been a better choice for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Better character than Shipwreck too.

Roadblock??? Wow, I am so not seeing that. I see Roadblock more like a tall, slim but big muscled completely black(is it alright to say "black"? no racism intended, just curious on what is PT these days) dude with a mustache. Not sure about what actor could play him tho. Will Smith if he gained 50 Pounds of muscle, shaved his head and got a killer mustache maybe :p

We disagree on everything, don't we? We should become Official Arch Enemies.

Size-wise the old figures were almost all the same but in the comic Roadblock was bigger than the rest. I don't know anything about The Rock's ethnic background but I still think he could play him. Other actors could portray him too, but if The Rock was a Joe I think Roadblock would be the best choice.

Yeah we do, but its all in good fun ;) Arch Nemesis it is - Your evil nickname is "Other-opinion man!" :D

Hmmm I guess he could play him, though I don't really see The Rock as roadblock. He could probably play Gung Ho better (initially I thought they had mixed up the roles with Brandon Frasier - because I can see him play shipwreck and The Rock playing Gung Ho)

Evil? But I'm the good guys! (Yeah, it's fun, no malice here.)

Other than Scarlett and the Baroness I'm perplexed at the casting choices. Has anyone done their own ultimate dream cast list?

Scarlett and Baroness I agree on, I also like that they put Ray Parks in the Role of Snake Eyes, as long as he shuts up in the entire movie (and if we see him unmasked he is someone else :p) then I'm all for it.

I guess that was my only dream cast list - Ray Parks as Snake Eyes (and I got what I wanted!) :D

Then again I am missing a few characters such as Stalker, Roadblock etc, but I would have no clue on who could play them.



Mohahahaha my evil plan is coming to fruitation! I demand.... One MILLION dollars! *puts pinkie in mouth* :D

I don't think The Rock would play a good Roadblock IMO, not because of his performance habilities, but of his look. Mr Hinton is always depicted as a darker-black person, while The Rock is more like brown-tan. It's like Ripcord being black :P

What else?
 

If marlon wayans can play ripcord.. I reckon the rock could do Roadblock.. hey why not.. what else can they get wrong? :o
