g.i.joes and cobras revealed
the G.I.JOE Movie marketing-machine is on full-crank hype-mode with exclusive reveals peppered throughout the www on powerhouse web-locales (whom I one day hope to be one of, as naively ignoramy as i may sound - do feel free to laugh) featuring General Hawk, Duke, Ripcord, Heavy Duty, Breaker, Destro, Baroness and Storm Shadow! in addition to the previous Scarlett and Snake-Eyes reveals, looks like tis gonna be an interesting (if not uniformly bland) movie to come = CLICKETH FOR MORE
Personally, one of the key-aspects of G.I.Joe comicbooks I used to enjoy - besides the characters themselves - was the sheer diversity of their uniforms! Each and every member had their own distinct-look, while still maintaining a quasi-military dress-code (DC Comics' Legion of Superheroes pops into mind - individualistic, but each recognizable as Legion-gear, IMHO) - and with that notion in me wee mind and opinion, the COBRA-faction (which includes Destro, Baroness and Strom Shadow - Cobra Commander is missing from the line-up and will continue to be so, I reckon) would be visually "interesting" (which does not equate into "better design", I disclaim), while the JOES' uniformity in battle-gear is cool-ish and frankly, pretty blah - the stylish amongst them is General Hawk! LOL (there's also Cover Girl - last seen in grey urban-camo *cough*) and suddenly I'm worried about not being able to identify them as they run thru the darkness, innit? What with them decked out in black+dark-gear, innit? ... But I'm sure the filmmakers have that well in hand (*crosses-fingers*) ... meanwhile, enough of my rambling, peep-on for cropped images with links to original image source:
[ Dennis Quaid as GENERAL HAWK on Collider.com ]
[ Channing Tatum as DUKE on MTV.com]


[ Marlon Wayans as RIPCORD on CHUD.com ]
[ Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as HEAVY DUTY on Comingsoon.net ]
[ Saïd Taghmaoui as BREAKER on DarkHorizons.com ]
[ Christopher Eccleston as DESTRO on IESB.net ]
[ Byung-hun Lee as STORM SHADOW on LatinoReview.com ]
[ Sienna Miller as The BARONESS on IGN.com ]
Currently missing from the image line-up are Joseph Gordon-Levitt as COBRA COMMANDER and Arnold Vosloo as ZARTAN. Directed by Stephen Sommers, the G.I.JOE Movie is slated for a debut on August 7th, 2009 - more than a year away!
I have a feeling Hollywood has gone an messed up another movie. The outfits look lame, and the casting is crap. Plus, why does Destro have hair?
ReplyDeleteBunch of low class actors...Marlon Wayans?? Come on!! Thats horrible.
ReplyDeleteAt least the Baroness and Scarlett look hot. And Snake Eyes looks good.
Otherwise, this looks scary.
