Destro looks a bit woosy and not too bad-ass....he certainly looks like a creepy villain, but a smoothie, not a creep. That Eccelton actor would fit better as Cobra Commander...

New stuff:

Gerald Okamura has been cast in the role of the hard master in the upcoming G.I. Joe movie. He is a veteran stuntman and actor of such films as 'The Sword and The Sorcerer', 'The Octagon', 'Big Trouble in Little China', and 'The Shadow'.



Snake Eyes Vs a Hummer!





And now some set pics:

I don't get why Snake-Eyes can't just be wearing some black tights with some hints of body armor. The slacks look ridiculous on him and how is he supposed to fight in them?

The battle suits are awful looking too. I could see maybe one of the Joes wearing something like it as a prototype in a scene, but they look more like a reason to release deluxe action figures than as a functional weapon. The original costumes could easily have been tweaked enough to make them work. These look more like Cobra Commander's Battle Armor:

I'm hoping the armor is for a special scene/battle and there is more camo, classic look other times.

They're normal BDUs. But yeah, this stuff looks really weak.

Does anybody know if they're sticking with the Global, Intgrated, blah, blah, blah title?

Looks like they can't decide b/tw "Starship Troopers 4" and Old Navy.

When I saw the initial designs for Transformers, I thought they were pretty awful, however, once I saw them in the film, my opinion changed.

I'm hoping that it will be the same for G.I. Joe because I find the costumes to be awful too.

From the waist up Snake Eyes looks pretty bad ass but I agree the cargo pants arent cutting it. They could have just thrown some molded black tights on him with a leg holster and had something much less goofy looking.

Wow thats awesome! I was wondering if she was going to wear glasses, or just shades. I still need some Destro and Cobra Commander in masks shots

Ok, I've seen this thread but I've always passed it up because although I watched GI Joe as a kid, it wasn't an 80's favorite. I liked it, but that's it.

But having seen some of the new pics and the imdb page for this film....I'm on board. It looks fun and I'm very much looking forward to this.

Also, I don't care what ya'll say, Snake eyes looks kick ass.

I've got an idea, let's what until the film comes out see why he is dressed like that!
