I wonder why such a big property as GI Joe with a large cast & production is getting an August release date? Seems like a June or July tentpole movie.

This movie isn't done filming. They actually started not too long ago. I don't really know this guy, but he looks like a good addition to the cast...

Huh. I thought they were done filming or something. Isn't it a little late to be casting? Oh well, I'm probably wrong. Okamura's cool, though.
