A bunch of websites are reporting that the live-action GI Joe movie starts shooting today, but that’s actually not the case. The film begins shooting on Wednesday.
And now IESB is reporting that unforeseen VISA problems will prevent David Murray from playing the villainous Destro. The studio found a quick last minute replacement (which is always a good sign for any movie production): Chris Eccleston, a British actor best known for playing Dr. Who and in America as Claude (the Invisible Man) on the NBC television series Heroes.

As a staunch Doctor Who fan I wholeheartedly support this. While the rest of this movie could turn out badly, at least we know that Destro will be Fantastic.

i wonder if anyone will actually get shot in the movie. As a child i used to think that for elite soldiers, they couldnt hit a side of a barn. maybe too busy yelling GI JOE!!!!!

I know lots of people bag on the cast for this flick, but for the most part, I’m loving them.

Chris Eccleston as Destro? Sure beats the hell out of some guy nobody ever heard of and who has only done theater.
But, even with Eccleston, I’m still not sure about this movie. I (and other hardcore G.I. Joe fans) need more and better details before I decide to drop some cash on this (theater or DVD).
