Ray Park as Snake Eyes.
Stephen Sommers will direct.
I've heard some crazy stuff about this film. The IMDB was listing it as being about an international anti-terrorist team based out of Brussles (G.I. J.O.E standing for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity), which really PO'd some folks who want GI JOE to be "a real AMERICAN hero." But according to the rights holders it will be an American millitary team and the stuff on the IMDB is probably the work of some sock puppet who was trying to get the right-wing all up in arms.
First pic: SNAKE EYES! And man, does he look COOL!
And this would make the third major role for Ray Park in which he doesn't speak. His Cockney accent was dubbed over with someone else's voice as Darth Maul, he obviously didn't do any speaking during the swordfighting scenes as the Headless Horseman in Sleepy Hollow (nor was his face seen, since he was headless---and Christopher Walken portrayed the character when he had a head), and now this.
That would be Peter Serafinowicz as the voice of Darth Maul, a face familiar to fans of British comedy and the shows and movies of Simon Pegg (the new Scotty) in particular. He was in "Spaced", "Shaun of the Dead", and "Run, Fatboy, Run." Serafinowicz was also in the very funny "Look Around You", a parody of old educational shorts.
Ray Park also didn't have many lines as Toad in X-Men, but he did speak.
And in his real voice. I knew he had played Darth Maul and was quite surprised when he finally did start speaking with a British accent in that film.
Hell..o
When I tried clicking on that link, I got a 403 Forbidden message. What gives?
Here's the article.
At least her outfit doesn't look like the shiney leather ones like what people wore in the Matrix. Though, I'd think a military outfit would contain things for gear, like extra ammo cartridges etc.. and wouldn't be some form fitting outfit with armor plating over certain areas but leaving the back of her legs vulnerable.
Oh,and if this is supposed to be some American room given the words USA and DOD on some of the crates in the back, why does one spell the word "contain" with an e on the end?
or after reading it closer, it looks like it is missing the R in container...
Crates? I didn't see any... oh, there they are. Yeah, they left the R off on the bottom crate. It's in place on the top one.
34 cast pics!
The new pics of Snakes Eyes were welcome, and I also found the ones of Storm Shadow to be interesting too. The black ops uniforms look really cool, and I was surprised to see Marlon Wayans as Ripcord. Cool.
She has the crossbow.
On one of the pics of Scarlet one of the posters actually complained that her hair wasn't the right shade of red, because of course a real woman will have hair just like a cartoon illustration. And people think Trekies are bad.
Who's to say that that poster wasn't himself a Trekkie? What you describe is a sensibility, which is not specific to genre or franchise.
Luigi, it looks like your link to pics only has one pic...
It now says at the bottom of the caption: "images removed by request of Paramount.". Good thing I used Simpletext snapshots to get about five of them before they did that. Heh-heh.
in other news... Luigi Novi was arrested for possession of stolen property... 
New pictures from the other day.
I didn't realized that AAA and Christopher Eccleston would be in it. Now I really want to see it.
Oops, I mean "realize".
3 cool posters, each featuring a single character. The page linked to right here is in Dutch, and shows only one of the three posters, so click "Volgende" at the bottom right of it to proceed to the other two.
More cool posters I really like the Storm Shadow one, but wish it were cropped better.
Cool new trailer! (Although I don't know about those armored accelerator suits.)
Extended TV spot. The video didn't work well for me, so if anyone else can see it well, let me know if it's any good.
Got to be a stinker. Paramount won't show the film to critics.
I thought the fact that it wasn't being released until August was indication enough.
I thought the fact that it was by the director of Van Helsing was indication enough.
They allowed him to direct something else? After that?!
Scott, there was a screening for the movie tonight at the AMC Empire 25 near Times Square. When I asked the person at the front of the line if it was a press screening, he said, "No," but I ran into a former coworker who used to work with me back at Matrix (the company that recruited people for such screenings for Nielsen), and she told me that they've been screening for the past few weeks.
Interestingly, the line tonight was peppered with lots of military servicemen. I didn't know why, and hadn't read your link until just now, but it fits, because it says that Paramount has been screening it to military people.
I'm a bit surprised nobody has commented on this film yet. Perhaps because those that have seen it are still compiling the incredible amount of nits associated with it. Most of the issues for the movie can be summed up by saying the creators/writers et al need to open up a freakin science book, especially physics! I honestly think the cartoon was more realistic. Between those accelorator suits, the 'particle accelorator', and the submarine stuff it was just ridiculous. Then there's Zartan having "nanobots" alter his face, ala Face Off but it has the same problem with actors having two different body types. Aside from the title and some of the character names the movie had nothing to do with G.I. Joe.
I will say that a few of the character's background was interesting, except for the Baroness'. The Baroness from the show was a very intelligent and capable woman all on her own, in the movie she was more-or-less brainwashed by nanobots. Maybe it's just me, but the hackneyed acting skills of all the Wayans brothers are not funny anymore and did nothing to improve the movie. Duke is supposedly an lt. in the special forces, or somesuch, yet is able to get away with that poor excuse for facial hair. He's not a POW, nor has he been in the field for long periods of time away from toiletries, so why is unshaven here? If the target audience were service members TPTB must think we're ignorant or something.
SPOILERS - Here and Previous Post!
One more thing I forgot to mention, Snake Eyes has a mouth on his suit for some reason! Storm Shadow even says he took a vow of silence after his master was killed, by SS, so why was there a mouth on there to begin with? The cartoon SE didn't have one, neither did SS, it doesn't make sense. One positive thing, Scarlett and the Baroness were HOT!
CONTINUED SPOILERS!
A few more things I noticed: During the car chase scene in Paris Snake Eyes is on the bad-guys' car trying to at least slow them down, and eventually gets underneath the vehicle. Before SE lets go and allows the SUV to be hit by a train, a side-shot of the car SE cannot be seen in the undercarriage.
In the beginning, during the convoy attack to obtain the case with nanobot warheads, one of the US Army soliders fires a rocket at the Cobra soliders. He misses but comes within a few feet of one of them and he is unphased by the explosion. These guys were wearing body armor but that would not protect them from the concussive force of the explosion. They would at least stumble a little.
When we discover the the mastermind behind the MARS corp (aka Cobra) is actually Anna's (Baroness) brother, who was thought dead, we see what really happened in that building he went in before the airstrike and it seemed like he was there twice as long as the original flashback.
