First Look -- Ray Park as Snake Eyes

As a non-american, that Global Integration Force or whatever sounds extremely lame.

We all know GI Joe is american, so what? I still played with them when I was a kid.

Snake Eyes is absolutely the most awesome character in that series. And Duke, I liked that guy. And the Baroness was so hot.

Edit: Ray Park hints that he might have a speaking role in the GI Joe movie, what

We're talking about the limp-wristed fop who was NEVER seen without a full face helmet, right? Who COULDN'T play that role?

Exactly and if he can pull off the raspy voice, more power to him. Still, I get the feeling he'll be dubbed over.

Oh yes, no one looks more the part of a Scottish arms dealer than him.

He just seems really young to me. Hey I'm just glad there isn't any sign of Serpentor.

I know that he was a white dude, so is/was the Kingpin in Marvel continuity, that didn't stop them.

Not to mention, when you hear Destro's voice, tell me you actually hear a Scottish accent.

That was the cartoon, not the comics. Besides, do you really want to hear the movie Destro refer to his boss as "beloved Cobra Commander?"

Who cares about the comics? The overwhelming majority of people who know GI Joe know the cartoon, not the comics.

Just saw that he is 27 yrs old so not as young as I was guessing from the imdb photos. I thought he was maybe in his early 20's. Just going by the way he sounds in the movies that I've seen him in he sounds young. I thought he was still a teenager.

Anyway it isn't the cartoon, or the comic I grew up on so... I'll be curious to hear how he portrays Cobra Commander.

Wait, I just had an epiphany: what if it wasn't the Baroness that Cobra Commander had the hots for? What if it was Destro? I mean, the clues were right there. He keeps telling Destro to stop making out with her and chrome-dome keeps calling him "beloved Cobra Commander." And it only took me twenty years to figure that out.

That was a great first chapter from your fanfic, RatBoy. I especially like the chapter 2 teaser in your last post. Can't wait to read it!

While we're on the topic, i'd just like to link to my favorite YouTube video ever.

I'll never be able to think of Cobra without thinking of Junior M.A.F.I.A. now.

Considering how close Snake-Eyes' costume is to the original and how G.I. Joe creator Larry Hama is a creative consultant (even made them make changes to the script to make it closer to the comics), I'd say the only thing we have to worry about is if the director went to Michael Bay's school of cinematography.

Except that for some reason, the Arashikage clan tattoo that snake eyes keeps hidden under his arm wraps is printed right on the costume in that picture. I may be splitting hairs to an extent, but the 'real' Snake Eyes would never openly display the image on his uniform...

Ok, so that article had a link to more pics, one of which was this one (NSFW). As I scrolled down to take in the full pic... WTF is that under the couch?!

What ever the hell it is, it's creepy!

A cat?

While she is definitely hot, what is up with that outfit?

Here are some more shots of the rest of the cast.

Guess they're keeping the likes of Cobra Commander and Destro close to the vest for the moment.

So, GI Joe done in the same vein as the Masters of the Universe movie? That was my impression. Storm Shadow looks like whatever the Japanese equivalent of Eurotrash is.

Do they not see how bad this is going to suck? Is this just an autopilot now? My confidence level was low, seeing these pictures made it drop through the floor.

On the other hand, Dennis Quaid looks ready to chew some scenery. I generally like his work, kinda hate to see him in this movie as he seems to be the only person outside of Ray Park (who is covered head-to-toe, natch) that looks like they might actually be channelling their character.

I recognize the blonde from... certain catalogs. Can she actually act?

It looks like I may have been right about the uniforms. Like in the X-Men movie, they came up with a bland all-black uniforms for most of them.

Someone tell Dennis Quaid to keep his finger off the trigger until he's ready to fire!

And what's up with the mouth? Is that really him or is it the mask?

Yeah, the coloration on his face looks really really weird.

What I don't get is, they made Ray Park wear a form-fitting suit that folds and bends with his movements etc, then sculpted muscles on top of that. It looks ridiculous! Why would they sculpt anatomy into the suit? I mean, I do know why they sculpt it in there, but jesus! Get a decently built actor for the part and the lycra/spandex will look fine (and moreso, look believable). I figured with all the stunt work, Ray Park is probably fit enough that he doesn't really need the costume they have him in now.

Oh well. Unless this scene is recreated for the movie, I don't care to see it. At least I won't pay to see it, anyway...

Aside from that, Scarlett's a hottie, but then, I have a thing for redheads (we smell our own).

I showed the Storm Shadow pics to someone who remarked, "Is this GI Joe or a remake of Equilibrium?"

I just noticed how freaky long Storm Shadow's dress shoe is in the shot where he's wearing a suit.

Yeah that's kind of the "in" fashion for men's shoes now. That and the long, square toe. It's ridiculous and uncomfortable. I'll stick with my 4 year old Sambas, thanks!

What I want to know is why the hell does Storm Shadow have a gun? I can't recall one comic or episode of the TV show, or toy for that matter, when Storm Shadow used a gun. Also shouldn't he be wearing a mask? Don't recall him going arround with the face sticking out.

Also Snake Eyes has the clan's tatoo on his armor? That's not very ninja like.... Hey look at me I'm a ninja in a secret clan... see here's our logo!

I was really hoping they weren't going for the whole sigma suit clothing option but looks like thats where they are headed. Oh well I'll still watch it being the loser fanboy I am
