G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra is the live-action feature based on Hasbro's line of action figures.
While some remember the character from its gung-ho fighting man '60s incarnation, he's evolved. G.I. Joe is now a Brussels-based outfit that stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, an international co-ed force of operatives who use hi-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil organization headed by a double-crossing Scottish arms dealer. The property is closer in tone to X-Men and James Bond than a war film.
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra comes to theaters August 7 from Paramount Pictures.
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was released August 7th, 2009 and stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Byung-hun Lee, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce. The film is directed by Stephen Sommers.

i know they didnt put a comma between cobra commander and "the doctor" and i havent read all the comments but could that be doctor mindbender, and not cobra commander (he has the eyepiece just like mindbender did) , perhaps they are saving cobra commander for a suprise (much like they did with venom, and his first appearance on the trailer of spidey 3). i did read possibly on movie web or elsewhere that he was going to have a helmet but it was less like the comics or cartoon but was in fact a helmet?

If you are so good at photo manip, make the Army of Two guy into the viper and show me images from the process.

Chad, are you stubborn or just stupid?
I don't care how f*cking good you are at photo-manip (which probably means making Spider-Man's costume different colors, "God, you are such an artist")
But
A) This is a photograph of someone in costume, a six-year-old could tell that, even with the crappy quality of the image.
B) The head is in a different position relative to the neck brace (of the army of two guy), and the proportions are different.
These are similar designs, but they are not the same image.
The Doctor is a legitimate photo, as that is obviously J.G. Leavitt in make-up, as he said he was going to be:
SPOILER:
He becomes Cobra Comm. after McCullen/Destro has an accident and the Doctor has to make a facemask for him (the silver thing made of nanometal), which he uses to control Destro's mind, becoming the head of Destro Corps, now COBRA.
I know the Viper looks similar to the Army of two guys, but they are not the same.
You can continue to protest, but when the movie comes out I want everyone to remember that Chad thought these were fakes.
Personally, I think the design on this stuff/these guys looks great. Breaker looks like a bit of a pedo though...

I have faith in the movie. Ive always loved GI Joes ever since i can remember. So i wont turn my back on the film based off photos and id cards. The trailer airs during the super bowl, we will see what comments are made about it then. Yes they have changed the tone to adapt it to current times, but that isnt a bad thing. ALso, the cast alone is huge. Big names, great actors, it will be a good movie. Also, paramount is behind it. They have had a few busts but if you look at their big name films the past few years, they know how to pick them.

Hollywood is so beat its ridiculous. I'm going to write the script for a Mad TV full length movie because that sounds better than this horsesh*t. Does anybody actually think this movie is going to be good? Please pose the argument, I'd love to hear it.

Look at it this way. The movie is titled "Rise of Cobra" The picture we see is before he becomes the mask/helmet cobra. No one truly has ever known what he looks like without the mask. The piece overtop of his mouth would allow his voice to be the way it is (same way as vader) My bet is is that we will see cobra commander come to be in this film. So dont be to harsh on the picture above just yet.

I can't provide any proof, but these images seem totally fake to me. Some of these characters seem far too cartoony for them to be in this movie, especially Breaker and The Doctor. And "G.I. Joe is now a Brussels-based outfit that stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity" are you serious?

I did give you a source. The source is an image created by EA Montreal screenshot from the game. The exact same pose, armor and mask/helmet as the guy on the right. I'm good with details and I am a photoshop wiz so I can tell it was manipulated. They did a good job on the Viper Cobra, but you can still tell it's that guy regardless. Did you not see the link I posted of that photo/screen shot? You can google Army of Two and find the same image I linked all over the internet. It's not like it's hard to figure out lol.
The Doctor one is iffy, that one may or may not be real. Not sure yet. I have looked at dozens of Leviett pictures and noticed his forehead/brow lines are similiar to Heath Ledger's (horizontal wrinkles) and in this Doctor pic, he has none but some vieny looking bumps going down to his nose. Although, his eyebrows match from what I can tell, so maybe it is him. Time will tell.
Here is that Army of Two image link again...

(this picture is a promo pic I had the game I would know)
and another one from EA's official Army of Two website that shows the armor and mask at a different angle...

These probably come from the backs of toys. And, While the army of two guys look similar, those are not the same image. In order to prove that a photo is a fake, you have to provide a source, unaltered image, Chad.
It has been repeatedly stated that Leavitt is portraying "multiple characters" though, and since this is about the rise of Cobra, I would think that he starts out as "THe Doctor" and eventually becomes Cobra, with a different costume.

Yep at least the Viper one is. If you notice the body armor he is wearing is exactly the same design as the Army of Two guys. Check out this pic I'm linking below. I just confirmed that it's fake. I know I've seen that pose before and here it is in large form...

Two of the images are fakes, (Doctor and Army of Two/Viper Cobra) the other ones were probably taken from other images they took during a photoshoot or something and whoever "made" these, used photoshop, made little square id picture cutouts and placed them simply on the "card" background. I could do this in like 10 minutes lol. I think these are fan made to be honest.
