Dan Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 This picture gives me hope for this movie: I hope she can do the accent right. I can't imagine it would be too difficult. It was barely a step above "Ve make beeg trouble for moose ant sqvirrel" originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Ok, I got the script. I really expected to hate it, but I don't. I think they nailed the characters. The writer must have been a big fan of the comics like I was growing up, because a lot of it is taken straight from them. Particularly the back story of Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. As I was reading it I saw the pages I read as a kid(and still have thank you very much). As for the costumes. Don't read too much into them. There is a reason most of the Joes wear the same armor, and it's a big plot point. It's all about the personalities. Each member is a completely different person when they speak. For the most part, they are exactly like their comic versions, with the main difference being they might not be American. And yes, I know it's legit because I checked against the set pics out there. This is the version that was rushed and completed 2 days before the writer's strike. There have been changes. I know they added Gung Ho for example.

Dan Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Is it me, or did they change Snake Eyes again? It's not you. The visor's in one shiny, solid piece; the earlier promotional pictures had him wearing the lined one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I'm assuming, just like the toys, Snake Eyes' costume will evolve throughout the film. So I take no issue with the two visors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tglancy Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 with the main difference being they might not be American. Well, when the movie is based on a group of characters called "Real AMERICAN Heroes" that's kind of a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when the movie is based on a group of characters called "Real AMERICAN Heroes" that's kind of a big deal. This isn't the 80s. People overseas won't go see a movie glorifying US soldiers when we aren't that well liked at the moment. It was a decision based on money. It's not that big a deal to me, but I can see why people will be pissed that Breaker is Arab, and Snake Eyes is French. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tglancy Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Well tell the rest of the world they can fuck off if they can't separate a fictional movie based on characters that have been around for 24 years from the real world. And fuck Snake Eyes being French. Fuck it in the ass. I never understood why people can't separate fact from fiction. And it might not be a big deal for you, but speaking as someone who is a die hard G.I. Joe fan, it's a big fucking deal to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George W. Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Not really news, but funny for all the right reasons. from www.darkhorizons.com You have to give him props for his bluntness. The Daily Dish reports that British actress Sienna Miller had to wear fake breasts for her role in forthcoming action movie "G.I. Joe". Was it vital to the plot? Miller says "(I wear a) tight black leather outfit. And much bigger boobs. They gave me these things that looked like chicken fillets. The director said, 'I'm gonna be honest, I like girls with big boobs,' and I don't have them so we made them bigger. At least he's honest. But I was mildly offended." Miller plays femme fatale The Baroness in the upcoming movie based on the popular toys and TV series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Stuff learned at the Comic-Con panel: In the tradition of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, there are only four major action sequences in the movie. We were assured that they're huge and won't disappoint. - Initial project plans went to paper in 2003. - The producers wanted Snake Eyes to say one word toward the end of the film. Larry Hama put an end to that real fast. - Overall, the film is being treated as a Cobra Commander (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) origin story. - Dennis Quaid, who plays General Hawk, was convinced to do the film by his son. The money was pretty slim so the film makers gave mad props to the kid. - Paramount actually put up more money for this film than they did for TRANSFORMERS. - A lot of characters were left out in hopes of adding them to the sequel(s). This includes fan favorite Roadblock who was passed up for the other big black dude, Heavy Duty (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). - When the producers were questioned about why this American based Military force had so much international flavor they simply said they wanted the best actors and then bullshit a bit about how terrorist threats pull the world together. The three major relationships in the film will be Duke/Baroness (Channing Tatum/Sienna Miller), Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow (Ray Park/Byung-hun Lee), and Ripcord/Scarlett (Marlon Wayans/Rachel Nichols) with the latter providing most of the film's humour. http://www.joblo.com/con-gi-joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 It was a teaser. They are usually 30 seconds or less. Most first teasers show nothing from a movie so we got lucky with all the footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
