News And Rumors
 

one of the villains is the abomination played by tim roth who was also in the remake of planet of the apes and also in reservoir dogs

just so everyone knows, Dukes been cast and he's going to be played by actor Channing Tatum, i went over to IBDM to see his work and he hasn't appeared in a lot of films in fact he's only been in three plus the guy's only about 27 years old give or take :( i was really hoping for a more seasoned actor but oh well

If anyone watches 24, Arnold Vosloo also played Marwan, the terrorist leader in season 4. He was definitely one of 24's cooler villains.

And with regards to Larry Hama as a creative consultant on the movie-- As I recall, Simon Furman, who is more or less the Transformers' version of Hama, was signed as a consultant on the TF movie. I believe he said he met with the producers once, very early in production, tossed some ideas out there, and then never heard from them again... So unfortunately, I wouldn't expect much, if any, actual contributions from Larry Hama with regards to the movie.

I read the Destro casting earlier today. Don't know the guy, appears to be Scottish. Can't really criticise someone I've not seen. On the plus side, casting an unknown means they're likely to keep the mask on instead of having to get the star's face on screen all the time (I'm looking at you, Tobey McGuire).

What I read at the same time that I didn't know before -- Dennis Quaid is Hawk, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who I'd seen mentioned in connection with Cobra Commander and Zartan) is apparently Rex. Oh. Yay. I thought we were rid of that character... It's ridiculous, there's SO MANY existing Joes and they could portray any of them as a rookie-type (I mean, if Wayans is Ripcord...) but no, the movie-makers know better and have to cock their leg and mark their territory by making up their own guy and naming him after the pet dog (Indiana works, but Rex...?).

Saddest thing? No Cobra Commander. :(

Here's where I read it, and there's a pic of the Destro actor:

a update on the movie, sorta. go here to check out some of the script. im not sure how reliable the source is, so take it as you will. it does sound pretty good so far, but why the hell is this guy saying f@@k this and that everytime he mentions snake eyes!?!

K......kill me......now...... if that script review is even partially correct then i'll be wasting perfectly good money to see crap.....

apparently EA has the rights to do video games for GI Joe. maybe we'll see a good one when the movie arrives. lets just hope they dont base it on the movie, ive yet to see a movie based game i will play. here is the link.

Destro played by Dr Who? That's kinda cool.

Eccleston? Bugger. I can see him being a little too over-emphatic.

Regarding the game, if it's due to come out at the same time as the movie I'd think it'd be pretty much a certainty that it'll be a movie-based game... I'd be surprised if Hasbro had any GI Joe product around that wasn't movie-based, as that's what they did with Transformers. Also, I'd lay odds we'll see a new GI Joe cartoon in 2010 or late 2009 that follows the format of the movie (international characters, black Ripcord, etc).

i wish i cold disagree with you, but your probably right about everything. a cartoon off the movie will really suck. they keep trying to bring the old stuff back, but they change it around to drasticly. none have worked,imo except he-man.

LOL. ANd Mattel killed the He-Man toy with poor case packs!!! :p

theres a rumor floating around that snake-eyes will be sportin shades instead of a full face mask, i really hope this is a rumor and not true i mean there is so much about this flick i'm not likin(what jacka$$ came up with the movies title?) and not having a masked snake-eyes from the word go is a really bad mistake imo

first image of Dennis Quaid as Hawk

Looking at him, he kinda does resemble the facial features of the 1986 Hawk headsculpt....spooky!

Quaid looks pretty good at Hawk. I don't see Hawk too much, but I think it's a good fit.

Okay But Will These Be In The 25th Stlying Or Our Beloved O'ring Sculpt.

??? thats basically what i said. and there in the 25th flatline.

If you guys want the truth, the truth is this. The ARAH sculpts are getting worn out. Hasbro lost a whole lotta of them back when and they tried to recover what they could. But molds break over time. I got the idea that every time a mold is used, it wears it out even more.

If you notice, the ConSets are moving towards Nu Skulpt and from what I've read, Hasbro is even phasing THOSE out! You want o-ring and the old arm styles, you might have to go with the THeme Years stuff no matter how much you hate it. If Hasbro has to lose the o-ring, then at least do the SW peg waist swivel! But that doesn't bug me nearly as much as the arm articulation.

That's why I posted it! :confused:
The fact that the con sets are also probably going to be 25th style is very disappointing, they were my last source of new figures. I guess that means that apart from a few stray older figures I still need to chase up, my Joe buying days are over. The only positive is that I'll now have more to spend on my other hobbies! :rolleyes:

Don't fret Craig. Now you can finally say: "I have enough Joes." :D

And instead of chasing figures, you can continue to photograph the ones you have, thus bringing much joy to our happy joedios community.

I love your customs anyway. So keep on rocking with your amazing skills!

Thanks Yorky! :D

The Hawk in that picture looks like GDI's General Sheppard just a bit.

check this out. the baroness will be american and blonde.

I REALLY hope that it's just whoever died that's American and not her. I mean, why hire a non-American to play a character who's not American in the source material and then change things so she has to put on an American accent...?

25th-scale figures, DDP losing the license and so throwing the future of the comics continuity into doubt, the movie veering wildly from the source material and a precedent of movie changes being retro-fitted into the subsequent iterations of a franchise... I get the feeling Hasbro is trying to get rid of me...!

Stormer, you're not alone there! :rolleyes:

The Baroness is not going to be blonde......this is a teaser shot.....

There's also some pics of Duke up now...... :D

Maybe this movie is about Tiger Force Duke... ;)

She is a master of disguise second only to zartan (and his siblings so i guess forth) so that could be a wig, and any way its the Baroness she can have her hair any color she wants and shoot people who think it looks bad heh.

modern era vehicles
 

well i expect to see a lot of new vehicles ( well real ones ) like humvee s , bradley , abrahams ,black hawk s , cobra s , F18 , F22 , F 15, and maybe some old school ones like vamp s , awe striker , apc , HISS , RAM s , stinger s , what do u expect people....
