Pictures of Snake Eyes from ‘G.I. Joe’ Film Revealed
Paramount Pictures has released two photos from the upcoming G.I. Joe movie featuring everyone’s favorite mute ninja, Snake Eyes. Full sized versions of the pictures can be found at Superhero Hype.
Fans hoping that the characters in the film will resemble their comic book and cartoon counterparts should be pleased with the classic look that good old Snake Eyes is sporting.
Snake Eyes will reportedly have a large role in the upcoming film. In a recent interview, director Stephen Sommers gave some details about what Snake Eyes will be up to in the movie:
"He’s the world’s greatest ninja, but he’s also next-generation. He’s not afraid to use a sword one second, and a split-second later he’s pulling out his Glock," Sommers told USA Today. "His chief nemesis is arguably the world’s other great ninja, Storm Shadow. The two grew up together, were blood brothers and now are mortal enemies."
G.I. Joe is scheduled to be released on August 7, 2009. The film stars Ray Park as Snake Eyes, as well as Dennis Quaid, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Arnold Vosloo and Christopher Eccleston.
PUre unadulterated sexiness… I love Stephen Sommers’ flicks. The Mummy franchise to Van Helsing to Deep Rising, this man has yet to disappoint me. So him working on Gi Joe is just aces for me and probably a big fan boy cryfest due to the unpopularity of his past works. Sucks for them, awesome for me.
Yeah Sommers seems like just the guy to make a movie out of a line of toys. A sea monster, the Mummy, Frankenstein and Dracula were a bit too high-brow for him. This movie doesn’t require him to actually have a brain, so he should excel – just like Michael Bay finally finding his place with Transformers.
I like the way you think. You're lucky :p
