GI Joe movie thoughts

[Art_of_Crime]

I'm sure there is probably one out there already, but there is always room for one more.
Want to cast this flick?

Ray Park as Snakeyes,
Tim Roth as Cobra Comander
Mathew Fox as Duke

Michael Bay as Director.t:t:

Especially since The Transformers movie looks more like a G.I. Joe movie and even a M.A.S.K. Movie, than a Transformers movie.

 

[The Shredder]

Monica Bellucci as The Baroness

 

[Art_of_Crime]

Good call, I'm trying to think of a good Destro

 

[skorponok]

Not sure about his acting since I haven't seen anything he's been in, but here is a physical match for Destro...

[Art_of_Crime]

he looks the part.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Ben Browder for Duke

 

[Art_of_Crime]

i see him more as a flint. but either way.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Hmm... I could see that also.

 

[Art_of_Crime]

i wonder who could play xamot and tomax

you could make this guy pull double duty.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Alan Rickman would make a good Cobra Commander.

 

[co2]

Ray Park as Snake Eyes is too perfect.

 

[Art_of_Crime]

thanks

 

[Dr. Fate]

How about 50 year old Michael Biehn as General Hawk?

Or should Hawk be played by some "pure-no-baggage" metrosexual 20 something actor?

 

[Art_of_Crime]

ok, not sure I get the meterosexual joke. Was that a stab at my casting of Stuart Townsend as Xamot and Tomax? They are suposed to be a little poofish.

 

[3dman27]

who'd be lady jaye?

 

[Art_of_Crime]

hmmm lady jaye. let me think. if this were 6 years ago I would have said Ashley Judd.
I know someone who can pull off tough and cute.
How about her.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Very good choice.

No, that was a stab/reference to Brandon Routh of "Superman Returns". My hatred of that film knows no bounds.

Stuart Townsend as Xamot/Tomax works fine for me.

thankfully, none of you are casting directors.

besides, why do we even need a g.i. joe movie? there's saving private ryan with the joes being americans and cobra being nazis.

Yeah, because we all know every casting director in Hollywood is infallible.

I started working on a script when I read the idea currently circulating. I think GI Joe is too big of an american icon for the idea circulating. GI Joe has the potential to outdo Star Wars, it really does.

casting ideas:
GEN. HAWK - Harrison Ford
DUKE - Arnold Scharzenegger
FLINT - Bruce Willis
SNAKE EYES - Steven Seagal
GUNG HO - Randy Quaid
ROADBLOCK - Michael Clarke Duncan
LADY JAYE - Demi Moore
SHIPWRECK - Willem Dafoe
BAZOOKA - Ashton Kutcher

SERPENTOR - Sylvester Stallone
COBRA COMMANDER - Mark Hamill
DESTRO - Sean Connery
BARONESS - Cate Blanchett
STORM SHADOW - Jean Claude Van Damme
MAJOR BLUDD - Mel Gibson
TOMAX - Pierce Brosnan
XAMOT - Pierce Brosnan
DR. MINDBENDER - Kevin Spacey
ZARTAN - Gary Oldman

hey jrpstarwars
while you are throwing so much money into the wind. why not put another 60billion down to have Osama Bin Laden play himself

 

[Heretic]

GI Joe is my favorite thing...I dont mean my favorite toy or comic book...its my favorite ANYTHING on earth. I agre that the story deserves better than the silly idea that was circulating with some new recruit that I've never heard of being the star...

I also think that GI Joe is in the great position of being one of the longest running icons in pop culture...and theres NEVER been a movie about them...it could be massivly huge.

That said, I dont like the choices picked for a lot of the characters listed. I'm not exactly a movie buff so I'm not sure who Id pick, but Mel Gibson as major Blood? Oh, and keep Serpentor away from my Gi joe movie!!!!

 

[darwinwins]

and in the movie, every time a joe shoots down a cobra vehicle, we'll ALWAYS see the guy jump out and deploy his chute. ALWAYS.
