Snake Eyes

Update: We’ve updated this story with a second image (seen above), and a higher resolution version of the first image (below).

Snake Eyes

Paramount has released the first photo of Ray Park as Snake Eyes from the upcoming live action G.I. Joe movie.

So what do you guys think? Is the live action Snake Eyes as bad ass as you imagined? Can he save the live action GI Joe film from doom? Comment Below!

  • Ghost
    I personally dunno what to think. I mean it's kewl. Looks like him. Kinda reminds me of the ninja vamps from Blade 2 but I mean it's Snake Eyes, he has a sword and a gun, lets just hope he can move too. Which I've no doubt he can from seeing Darth Maul in action.
  • Whell, this does look kinda bad-ass.
  • jj gonzo
    Snake eyes looks awesome!!!!
    I can't wait to see STORM SHADOW!!!!
  • orange cinema
    well...it looks like him. Can't put my finger on it, but it also looks kinda fake too. I have faith in a lot of the cast, but sommers & most of his visions, not so much.
  • Clarence Somerset
    Not sleek enough ... but then again, they're going for the gritty, realistic look.
  • Chadwick
    this is fierce! bring on storm shadow!
  • Jojo
    This will be just as good as Transformers. I mean really the director they got for that is a hack and so is this director. A lot of people liked that hacks movie so why not this?

    Oh i see. Steven spielberg was involved in that piece of shit movie.
  • StirBot
    Although I have low expectations, this photo is dead on.
  • Steelo
    The only thing that can save a GI Joe movie from doom (or anything for that matter) is a good script. The design and lighting is nice enough of a 5 minute distraction
  • sean coates
    could use sum light body armor
  • gag
    OMG...it sucks. Have any of you actually revisited the GI Joe cartoons? They're shit.
  • Kick ass, better than i hoped. if their weapons fire straight it should be a good flick
  • Captain Awesome
    Cosplay Snake Eyes replica Halloween costume coming soon.
  • Something about this image is screaming POWER RANGERS to me... I don't know why but that can't be good...
  • Seth
    I dont think i like it. I think it looks fake. It looks like a kids nylon halloween costume. I dont think they were going for gritty or realistic at all, and if they were they failed. Jojo i guess i did not get your "Steven spielberg" comment. And Gag, you are right. The cartoon sucked but the comics were really cool. And if they had looked at any of those they could have done a better job on Snake-Eye's look.
  • Tabor
    It's instantly recognizable as Snake Eyes. It looks awesome if a little campy and it looks realistic enough for a movie based on a comic book based on a toy line. It will probably be worth a look.
  • Jeff
    It honestly looks like CGI to me.
  • JFK
    "Instantly recognizable"? I question that. Looks like a foot solder mock up. "What am I late on my Sony payments...?" or whatever April said.
  • def looks like the original source material. i thought it'd look more like this bust tho: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41psoGGyi...
  • Kevin
    While I dont find it to be 100% real looking (it looks kinda cheap), I feel like I have to in some way respect that they went for a dead on version of him when they could have changed his look completely.
  • @Captain Howdy

    Dead on.
  • jhammer12
    that is bad-f*ckin-ass
  • sicksider
    reminds me a footsoldier in the ninja turtle movies.
  • ryan
    Awesome!!!
  • jerry seinfeld
    looks like spandex. but, hey - GI Joe was popular in the 80's, so I guess it fits.

    i'm getting so tired of these muscle suits, tho - obvious shoulda-ma-pads in that suit.

    do some behind-the-neck presses, Ray.
  • Tabor
    Maybe it's just me, but I think anyone familiar with the G.I. Joe comics, figures, or cartoon series would be able to recognize the photo as Snake Eyes with little trouble.
  • TheKillingJoke
    its 5:14AM in connecticut right now....anyone up right now???
  • I guess it looks alright, for a ninja.... But Where's his Uzi??
  • Raerth
    Ray Park signed up for Power Rangers?
  • Marco
    Looks like CGI to me
  • pat
    I opened /film, saw the picture, and said "Snake Eyes!" before I read the title of the caption... I think it looks great (not suprised this is the first official release seeing as it was pretty much the only casting that had 100% fan support lol)

    and really... aside form the fact that they both wear suits and helmets he looks nothing like a power ranger
  • Pat, my POWER RANGERS thought was more in line with the apparent lack of production value rather than the costume itself. I do understand this is how Snake Eyes should look and think the outfit looks kinda cool - but the way it is lit or presented makes me hesitant to take it seriously for some reason... it looks campy somehow.
  • Meli
    Power Rangers - psh, people please!

    I love the photo, but I still don't have
    much hope for the movie, which is a shame.
    I don't like Sommers as a director. The Mummy
    movies were enough for me to write him off.

    I think we'll have a couple of cool looking
    enjoyable characters, but all around the movie
    will be lame. -sigh- Kind of like a Bay film. LoL
  • Grue
    Apparently Jojo missed the article explaining why Michael Bay is not a hack. :O

    Also, this pic does look pretty dead-on for a film adaptation of the character. We'll see.
  • "Go go Power Rangers! Go go Power Rangers! Mighty morphing Power Rangers!"

    Thanks, I have that stuck in my head.
  • dbunker
    ...AS long as there are no nipples on the suit it will do.
  • Ghost
    Quick note. Why's he got his clan insignia on his uniform rather then being tattooed on his skin as it should be? It's supposed to relate to his connection with Storm Shadow and all...
  • George Lopez
    JoJo is so cool. I wish I was him!
  • Brendan
    that's right jj gonzo! let's get on with storm shadow!!!!!
  • Chicken Grease
    Heck, this design -- along with the Iron Man armor in this summer's upcoming movie -- I think that's pret-ty darn authentic to the comic book character and action figure(s), as compared to the near leather motorcylce suits we got with "X-Men" (yes, I wanted to see the Wolvie mask and pointy collars and boots that he sported in the comic book).

    Military team for Hollywood movie? We're lucky the Snake Eyes' mask wasn't ordered to be taken off and replaced with a helmet and goggle or something. They coulda' easily just gave Snake a samurai sword (katana), but, no, Snake Eyes' blade is different, more like a long scimitar.

    Really happy that his ninja family red icon is shown. Terrific.

    If they stick with design, this is great. Could do much, much worse.

    Wonder what the other Joes and Cobras'll look like.
  • david
    Its very authentic, which is always very nice.

    but then so was 'Spawn'...

    i'm a little concerned the rubber muscles will look like... well, rubber muscles when he moves around.

    I hope this movie will be fun.
  • casses
    He's wearin a %$##@! rubber body suite.
  • Snake Eyes 2
    I agree that it looks a bit CGI. It looks like it's based from a piece of artwork and made to look real.

    Not keen on the fake muscles. The head looks like it's made up of 3 pieces of either rubber or composite. Does no one use cloth anymore.

    However, I am loving that visor! Lets wait and see how it develops.
  • DemonFox
    This is the first of many changes to come with this movie. As of now. They did an excellent job with staying in character. As stated before they could have changed it completely. A good script and reasonable looking characters. I think this will do well as Transformers did. Now speaking on all the negative comments. You can only do so much, it's like ordering a Olive Garden dinner at McDonald's. Get serious. Stop complaining cause we all know that you are going to pay the ticket price to go see it when it comes out. Transformers did well in the first week, SO WELL that they are already working on a sequel. Pretty amazing for a movie many say is stupid. I'm sure this will to.
  • Wolf
    Snakes and Storm Shadow look great. Baroness looks hot. However, the two soldiers in the exoskeleton "acceclerate" suits look horrible and cheesy old matrix type effects.
  • Wolf
    They also ruined the sword and didn't but the eagle head on the handle. He is supposed to have an uzi not a pistol. His head mask is butchered, not Snake-eyes like.

    Like others said, we have to live with it.
