Mark Wahlberg to Star in the "G.I. Joe" Movie?
by Scott Weinberg | March 06, 2007
Blog Article | Discuss Article
Summary

While out hyping their new movie "Shooter," producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and actor Mark Wahlberg were (of course) asked about their upcoming projects, and it seems they'll have another one in common: the live-action version of "G.I. Joe." Back to Article

I think they need to re-evaluate the entire situation

the GI Joe Hovercraft and marketing machine can go anywhere! Go JOE!
If there is anything I'm against more (aside from global hegemony and dolphin killings in Asia- Hrm, possible plot synopsis for this film?) is the fact we have people making films based off of nothing more than to make money off of merchandise. What's next, a NERF film?

Duke was one of the main good guys. I guess you could say he was as close to a "lead" as GI Joe got in the past.

Could be kind of fun, if it's one of those Ocean 11 ensemble movies. That'd be fun. There is a shortage of awesome 80's type movies out there. Why did Stallone and Schwarzenegger have to get old?

From what I remember of the cartoon Duke was the main charcter, there wasn't an actual "G.I. Joe" character, that was the code name of the team. But seriously, all I care about if they do this is a massive Snake Eyes/StormShadow(I think that is the white ninja's name) fight.

Yeah, there was no "GI Joe" person. That was the name of the team, and Duke was basically the leader. I know that it has already been said, but I felt compelled to say it again. What hasn't been said is WTF!?!? How can you make a GI Joe movie without COBRA?

GI JOE movie

Duke - George Clooney
Flint - Ben Affleck
Scarlet - Natalie Portman
Roadblock - Terry Crews
Gung Ho - Stone Cold Steve Austin
Quick Kick - Jet Lee / Jason Scott Lee
Stalker - Michael Jai White

(not necessarily my best picks or realistic picks for a great cast. but they do LOOK like they fit the characters)
