i liked the idea of Chris Evans, espes after seeing him in "Sunshine"!!!
other actors...... well for the looks you could probly go for Mark Walberg!! or a Ryan Renolds, he was kick ass in "Smoking Aces"!!

January 31st, 2008 1:32am

who do you guys think would make the best Duke?

January 31st, 2008 1:19am

wtf? Tatum/Gordon-Levitt? I don't even want to see this movie anymore. Half the cast is awesome the other is fucking horrible.

January 30th, 2008 6:29am

they need someone better to portray Duke for sure. He is way too young looking. Course i think back to how many people at first said Ledger was not going to be a good Joker...so i will keep that in mind as well. but overall i think he was a bad choice for the role

January 30th, 2008 5:06am

omg i retarded, going back to sleep now

January 30th, 2008 5:04am

my bad i meant Hawk not Duke

January 30th, 2008 4:53am

some look perfect, Channing Tatum to young, Duke was at least in his 30's maybe 40's. i was surprise tatum is 27 guy looks 15

January 29th, 2008 6:19pm

cast looks perfect bourne??

January 29th, 2008 5:04pm

Channing Tatum is a PECKERNUT!!!!!!!

January 29th, 2008 2:00pm

i wanna kill that bastard Tatum!!!!

January 29th, 2008 1:41pm

Hope it doesnt suck, although im sure is gonna have a pg-13 rating. It was never gonna be a serious film, but this break dancing dude just killed any chances of me watching this thing.

January 29th, 2008 12:59pm

so it would seem that the focus will turn to hawk, since he is the leader of the JOE team

January 29th, 2008 12:54pm

quaid would totaly b good for this. the cast looks perfect so far.

January 29th, 2008 12:47pm

All I have to say, is that this is perfect for Dennis Quaid.

January 29th, 2008 12:13pm

There really hasn't been any great actors in this movie, but now we have Dennis Quaid. He belongs in a G.I. Joe movie. And I'm not giving up on Tatum yet. If I did, all that ranting on the other page that said he was probably gonna be Duke was for nothing. heh, heh, heh

January 29th, 2008 11:28am

Dennis Quaid is a good choice for Hawk but Channing Tatum for duke who is in charge of casting some 16 year old chick with a crush who has never seen a G.I.Joe?

January 29th, 2008 11:19am

I am down with dennis quaid as Hawk good choice. Channing Tatum I am a little leary on I think chris evans would have been better but oh well. And I was wondering if I could get a roll possibly as Shipwreck,Flint,Gung Ho,or as the Blind master. (yeah im a dork)

Who isn't in G.I Joe? My cat just scored a walk on role.

January 29th, 2008 7:29am

ifnally someone! dennis quaid should have been duke maybe but thats fine, what can you do

January 29th, 2008 7:22am

well i am a little concerned about this think there are alot better actors out there. but i will have to wait and see what comes of this.

January 29th, 2008 7:06am

Damn, thats a shame thats the picked Tatum. This better not be lame as shit! the entire movie is resting on this dude!

January 29th, 2008 6:38am

This cast is starting to shap up! There still Duke to be found in this movie...hope it's a good one...

January 29th, 2008 6:37am

lol stormtroopers fuckin funny. yeah tatum has ears that stick out like a car with its doors open

hes a douche this will suck

The Kwisatz Haderach

January 29th, 2008 5:37am

Quaid is a decent actor could be a little better, hmm I wonder if I have that old General Hawk toy around here......where the hell are my G.I.Joes all I see is freakin Stormtroopers these days.

January 29th, 2008 5:32am

Finally, a real actor in this movie. The cast has been hit or miss, but Quaid is a great actor.

January 29th, 2008 5:13am

Ok, for the 1st time I'm now excitied about the casting of this film!! I love Dennis Quaid, he is the "MOST" UNDER-RATED actor working today!!!
THe rest of the cast is just laughable!

January 29th, 2008 4:18am

will this casting never end?!?

January 29th, 2008 4:00am

I am so sick of hearing the name Channing Tatum.
The guy looks like a puny version of Dominic Purcell.
I hope this movie fails so that this meathead will disappear like Paris Hiltons modesty!
Bring on M.A.S.K.!!!!!!
