gi-joe-first-pic.jpg

Like the headline says, this is the first pic relating to 2009’s G.I. Joe and it arrives via IESB. Nothing to snipe at here, costume looks spot-on for what it is. Dennis Quaid previously said he might go with some blond highlights for the role of General Hawk, but it seems he’s keeping it pretty Quaidish. I’m still curious to see how they pull Destro’s look off, what with those wild and crazy flat-top rumors.

    this has been up a long time with no comment. It's official. No one cares.

    @ gag

    indeed.
  • Craig
    That's because no matter how good Quaid looks in a dress uniform, most Joe fans are still unconvinced that this movie will be worth watching.

    iphone?
  • gag
    YAY! product placement!!!
  • Dave
    Looks flabby and old. Wonderful.
  • mot
    looks flabby and old? no shit, generals usually pretty old - most 1-stars are gonna have at *least* 25+ years in.
  • Snake Eyes
    Nice. Neutral. Class A's.

    WTF. GI JOE is All-American. This shot makes him looks like from some Eastern Bloc country.
  • Dialtone
    Hawk didn't have any blond in his hair, it looked pretty much just like his hair in the pic.

    Maybe some are thinking of Duke- he had the blond buzz cut.
  • film will suck
    i don't believe this will be worthy of a joe film.

    has anyone read over the synopsis?

    they are setup to be not a "REAL AMERICAN HERO" , but
    rather a 'global police unit' kind of like the UN.

    you know... the UN; who's always fighting faceless enemies
    as not to 'offend anyone' such as hunger, poverty, disease,
    obesity etc.

    Stuff that the Red-Cross and similar groups are good at.

    They wouldn't dare fight an actual people; being how they
    are supposed to be a MILITARY force; I don't see the point.

    GI-JOE's real premise was to "...fight an Evil terrorist organization
    determined to rule the world"

    How much money do you want to bet that this film will in no way
    feature an Islamic state???

    The Producers say they want the 'Joes' to appeal to a broader
    audience. (this is bull of course; the main audience is the 'larger'
    audience ie; Americans) This is their way of trying to train us in
    their vision of puppies & hugs to every idiot that wants to hurt
    Americans, so we can live in a world where we don't 'offend' people.

    Ever try that approach with the school bully?? Every grade schooler
    knows that doesn't work. It's the same fkn thing between nations.
  • UsedCarSalesman
    Damn you!!!!!!! Show some pics of Cobra Commander!!!!!
    That's what everyone wants to see!!




    ...Ok, maybe the Baroness is really what everyone wants to seee, but you know, whatever.
  • doesnt look like an iphone ...
  • Peter Martiensen
    I don't think real generals dye their hair or leave it long enough for a D.A. hair do. As a regular army brat, I think it looks totally inauthentic.
  • Kayla
    oh yeah, because GI Joe was such an authentic show to begin with.

    I do agree that it's stupid for them to be world police. Im pretty anti-war and my dad would say unpatriotic, but the entire premise for the cartoon was them being all-american heros. who cares who they're fighting, they shoud still be based in the US and kicking the ass of some sort of terrorist
  • JoeJoe
    Hasbro came out and said they're not going to be a Global task force. They will be the GI Joe we all know and love and work out of the PIT. The movie takes places all around the globe. I hope they use stunt men for CC and Destro because I always thought Destro should be like 6'5 and muscular and CC should be maybe 6'3 and kinda toned. Looking at the actors who are playing my favortite bad guys kinda worries me. They don't look all that tough.
  • with hope
    if they stick with the original hasbro story; then they
    should be just fine. it's a world-police thing then it will probably
    suck. from the look of hawk's uniform doesn't look that american
    at this point, but i hope i'm mistaken.

    in any case...

    i checked out the cast on IMDB, and not sure about the others
    but i think they got Scarlet down packed.

  • Film Will Suck,

    You could not be more correct. This is Harry in Liberia. Hollywood is going to make some watered down garbage to sell the Happy Meal but will make zero impact. In my city we say is like a nuetered dog. In Monrovia we have a GI Joe movie that is hardcore called Canzo Empyrean. This is only for the Wicked Men not for the children!
