I think a few people in Hollywood who like me were kids of the 80's are having mid-life crisis's and are trying desperately to recapture their childhood! Next year (2009) will see 3 of the 80's biggest kids toys /comics / tv shows brought to the big screen.
He - Man : Masters of The Universe is scheduled for a 2009 release although not alot is known regarding cast / storyline.
Transformers 2 is scheduled for release on 26th June 2009 with Michael Bay directing again if its half as good as the first i'll be happy!
and due For a 14th August release G.I Joe which was known in the UK as Action Force! I never thought it would be possible to make a film of this toy / comic range as it was very of it's time. I'm excited to see what they do with this, It's basically about an anti-terrorist organisation called G.I. Joe.
Thankfully the same sort of budget and care is gonna be thrown into this as was the case with Transformers, which i think was a great success!
With Stephen Sommers to direct who did The Mummy films which starred Brenden Fraser! I'm gobsmacked at some of the people who are lined up to star in this film, so they are obviously putting a lot of effort into this film!
the bad guys
Christopher Eccleston as Destro
Sienna Miller as Baroness
Joseph Gordon Levitt as Cobra Commander (i ain't making these character names up either haha!)
Arnold Vosloo as Zartan (The guy who played The Mummy!)
Byung-hun Lee as Storm Shadow (big Korean action star)
The good guys
Dennis Quaid as General Hawk
Marlon Wayans as Ripcord
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Shipwreck
Brendan Fraser as Gung-Ho
up and coming actors...
Channing Tatum as Duke
Rachel Nichols as Scarlett
and most interestingly of all Ray Park as Snake Eyes.....
Probably the ideal role for Ray Park as he gets to show of all his martial arts / weapon skills in this without worrying about his acting! As Snake Eyes (probably the most popular character) is Mute and wears a mask , after been in training accident which leaves him horrendously scarred.
It'll be interesting to see what they do storyline wise. but i do hope it sticks to the roots and keeps the romance between Snake Eyes & Scarlett, although i fear due to the nature of the character they may change it too Duke, as it'll b easier for the screenwriters to do!
Filming hasn't started yet, but a few promo shots have been released of what the actors costumes will be like.......
Check out Snake Eyes
