G.I. Joe

The live action version's coming out. Loved the toys as a kid but a movie. I dunno. We'll see. I wonder who's gonna play Destro or Serpantor, or Snake Eyes. Or that guy i always both loved and hated cause of his voice and way: Cobra Commander

John Cena should play Joe 😐

And Michael Bay should direct super13

John Cena, nah. He wasn't that good in that recent movie he came out with playing as some type of commando.

I wouldn't mind seeing Bruce Willis as Joe.

And that guy that played the mummy in "The Mummy" would make a perfect Destro.

...and here comes the 80's-toys-and-cartoons-made-live-action-due-to-the-success-of-transformers wave.

right on cue...

can't wait for voltron though.

Could be cool... I'd use 10-12 Joes and fashion it after a special forces type unit. Have them stopping an elaborate terroist plot by Cobra, and of course Snake-eyes kicking all kinds of ass. What Cobra/Joes would you guys want in it?

Tom Cruise. And maybe Morgan Freeman can narrate.

Mark Wahlberg has rumored to star.

Cool, Park was in the running for Snake for a long time.

looks like hollywood is running out of ideas. Too many remakes and updated versions of classics. and lately the 80s is the decade being pilfered through.

You mean Terry Crews or Roadblock? Terry Crews was the McDonald's guy in the new The Longest Yard and the singing guy in the car in Click. Roadblock is a heavy gunner who is also a chef. He also speaks in rhymes. Anyway, it would be cool if Crews could play Roadblock. Let me see if I can find a picture.

That's actually a very good pick for Roadblock.

As for the film, I'm skeptical. If they make this more on the realistic side, it'd be cooler IMO. Not every 80's cartoon should be adapted into a modern day film, however.

As shown in my sig, I like Snake Eyes, so I hope they do him justice.

How do you like Ray Park as Snake Eyes?

SnakeEyes Connoisseur

I'm skeptical about that as well.

I mean, as far as stunts/martial arts I think he'd do a fine job.

I guess the only thing I'd be worried about is his stature. Ray Park is kind of a small guy, and I've always seen Snake Eyes as leaner and a bit taller. Also, for whatever reason, if Snake Eyes has any dialogue, they'd have to get somebody else to do the voice.

Could be a lot worse.
