Snake Eyes from GI Joe has been cast!

[Doc_Jude]

He probably doesn't look Japanese enough, but I'd go for Mark Dacascos, the guy has the skills, and since he certainly isn't an A (or even B) list name, he might come cheap.

He's too busy with Iron Chef.

Who is going to be Storm Shadow? I think Isaiah Washington who fought Jet Li in Romeo must Die would be great.

Storm Shadow is straight Japanese, from a Ninja Clan.

 

[Empty Hands]

You DO remember that due to an injury on his first mission trying to save Scarlett from a burning, about-to-explode Huey, Snake-Eyes can't talk anymore, right?

Actually, no. Oops! :idunno:

Wow! hope it turns out to be a good one and not just another movie flop.
About Storm shadow,just a suggestion,they can cast the son of Sho Kosugi, Kane Kosugi ,he appeared as one of the cast in D.O.A.,he really fits the role.

You know, Ray Park has set himself up quiet well with the fanboys. After playing Darth Maul, Toad, and Snake Eyes, he could hypothetically retire from acting and spend the rest of his life renting himself out to fan conventions.
I have seen vids of him at conventions doing demos and meeting the fans.
Good for him!

Ha! (it's funny 'cause it's true!)

 

[Randy Strausbaugh]

Wasn't Ray Park also slated to play Iron Fist in the movie of the same name? Or has that just been lost in the Hollywood jungle?

Kane Kosugi would be excellent as Storm Shadow, but Mark Dacascos would be great too. I bet they could coax him away from Iron Chef for a while.

Hmmm, not very big names...but I suppose they have a lot of shoes to fill there.

 

[Andy Moynihan]

Oh gods.


I just saw Stephen Sommers' name in the director's slot.


I seriously hope he don't make this a screwball comedy like The Dummy or Van Hopeless.

This has got to be done straight or it's no goddamn good. Gotta feel at least somewhat like a WWII movie as far as atmospphere or all is lost.

Which costume would he wear?

Darth Toad?

"At last we will reveal ourselves to GI Joe! At last we will have revenge!"

Hopefully he will have more than 2 lines this time.

How can he have any lines? Snake Eyes is mute.

Well, unfortunately this guarantees that this movie is going to suck, has he ever acted in an even decent movie?

Ugh, here is to hoping its a bit part.

Oh God. Welp with that, my expectations just went out of the window.
I will look forward to The Incredible Hulk, Ironman, The Dark Knight and Harry Potter this year.

Marlon Wayans.....*shudders*

 

[Andy Moynihan]

Do they KNOW what they are doing? They HAVE to know that between the Brussels crap and this cast they've shot themselves in the foot before the film's even released......???!?!?!?!?!!

If it is any consolation, no Brussells.

The hiring of Marlon Wayans overshadows this......

G.I "Little Man" Joe

*shudders*

The hiring of Marlon Wayans now makes me believe that pigs can fly and in my avatar....that dog's hair is real and not a toupee
