New pictures from the upcoming GI Joe the movie keep coming out. This one is of the cross-bow weilding Scarlett played by Rachel Nichols. I have to admit, she looks pretty damn hot! In the comic, she and Snake Eyes had a “thing.” Wonder if that will play out in the movie.

See the snake eyes pics that been released.
These are the first-look pictures for Snake Eyes in the Upcoming live action GI Joe movie set for release in 2009.
I’m glad that they are sticking to making the characters look like they did in the comic and cartoon. I was afraid that I wouldn’t recognize any of the costumes. by making sure that Snake Eyes looks the way he should, we can probably assume that the rest will be safe.

GI Joe the movie is slotted to hit theaters August 7, 2009. Pushed forward by the success of Transformers, we will finally see a live action version of our favorite cartoon/comic All America Hero…..kinda.
Rumors galore have flown around the production of a live action GI Joe movie. Last year the big one was that Hasbro decided to make it, but it was going to be called “Action Man”. I am here to tell you today that that is not the case. GI Joe is currently in production and being filmed as I write this post. The movie will be called GI Joe….dropping the All American Hero.
The Action Man rumor started to circulate because Hollywood said that GI Joe was too American . Ultimately the producers of the movie went with GI Joe (I hope for obvious reasons), however they decided to change what the acronym stood for in order to appeal to a wider, more international audience.

According to a post by “Destro” on HisTank.com, who attended Hasbro’s 2008 Collector Media Day Event, “This film is set up so people who do not know what G.I Joe is all about get a nice back story explaining what G.I. Joe is along with MARS and Cobra with character background stories. The film centers around a speechless Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow and the female roles of The Baroness and Scarlett play huge roles equal to if not more important then Destro and Duke. ” I would click the link to HistTank.com above to read more about what Destro saw at the event.
I have also seen reports that Cobra Commander will be involved, however this character will play more of a puppet master/background character in this film. Hopefully this signals that they have plans for more than one film.
The director and cast have all been announced. I have listed them below:
Some big names on that list, however I’m glad to see people I don’t know too much about as well. A movie like this doesn’t need to be about “star power.”
I for one am very excited about a live action version of GI Joe. Having been my favorite toy, comic and cartoon growing up, I’ve always wanted to see this movie happen. Now, I can only hope that it turns out as good as I want it to. So far, from what I have been able to find, it seems like I am going to get my wish. YOOOO JOE!
