First (potentially) the actors, and now it looks like Paramount has decided to sit out of this year’s San Diego Comic Con International. A Parmaount spokesman told Anne Thompson that “The timing was off this year.” Most of Paramount’s upcoming geek slate isn’t scheduled to hit theaters until 2009. Paramount might still participate with some [...]

The poster above showcasing actor Channing Tatum as Duke popped up at the Cinema EXPO in Amersterdam, according to Film1. This is the first time we’ve seen the full title, G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, for the big budget nostalgia actioner opening Summer 2009. Did anyone see this clip of Joseph Gordon Levitt, who plays [...]

Last week a /Film reader named Bruno V submitted a very cool fan-made insert-style poster of The Dark Knight. Bruno has returned with another fan rendering of a poster for Paramount’s live-action G.I. Joe Movie. I’m surprised at what he was able to create with the limited images available.

Cool Stuff is a daily feature of [...]

IESB got a couple shots of Sienna Miller in costume as the bloodied Baroness in Stephen Sommer’s live-action GI Joe movie. Taken on the streets of Prague, where G.I. Joe is currently filming, these photos feature Sienna Miller in skin tight black leather toting a big gun. The Baroness serves as the COBRA Organization’s intelligence [...]

You might remember Gallery 1988: LA as the art gallery who held the I am 8-bit (video game), Crazy4Cult (Movie), and Stan Lee themed art exhibitions. Their next exhibition begins on May 20th and is called “One to Grow On”. The highlights include movie related artwork from Scott Campbell (”Friends with E.T.”) and Dave Chung [...]

More photos have hit the web from the Prague, Czech Republic set G.I. Joe. Apparently they were filming a action sequence on Friday which involved Snake Eyes (Ray Park) on top of a black Hummer. Ripcord (Marlon Waynes) and Scarlett (Rachel Nichols) were seen watching from the sidelines in full costume, so they’re probably involved [...]

For a while there, I had hope for Stephen Sommers’ live-action G.I. Joe movie. I was left disappointed by official cast photos released earlier this month, and now these new set photos from JustJared have me in total disbelief…. Check out Channing Tatum as Duke in his lame looking Accelerator Suit, and Ray Park as [...]

Update: We’ve updated this story with high resolution photos that Paramount sent us.

Collider has an extensive interview with G.I. Joe producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. I’ve included a few of the newsworthy tidbits below:

The film will be rated PG-13 and will feature bloodless violence.
Defending the choice of director Stephen Sommers: “He’s just… his enthusiasm, his excitement, his sense of adventure, his embracing of the mythology, his understanding of [...]

Here is a round up of stories that just didn’t make the /Film front page, or what we like to call…. Page 2!

Expect the first reviews of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on Sunday May 18th at 6:30am-ish eastern time, as that is when press at Cannes will have seen the [...]

Earlier this month LatinoReview reported that Brendan Fraser had filmed a cameo appearance for Stephen Sommer’s G.I. Joe. Newsarama confirmed this story during their New York Comic Con Coverage. Fraser claims that he gets to ride a “bitching three wheeled motorcycle” in the film. His character, Gung Ho, a Village People-looking soldier from the toyline, [...]

Lately, there has been a lot of hate directed towards Paramount’s live-action GI Joe film. As you probably know, a huge batch of unfinished unpolished character photos leaked onto the web last week which were deemed disappointing, especially after the official photo releases of Scarlet and Snake Eyes. So I thought I’d take a look [...]

Images Removed at Request from Paramount

Last month Paramount released photos of Snake Eyes, earlier this week they released our first look at Scarlett, and now [Link Removed] has apparently gotten an exclusive first look at the cast of Stephen Sommers’ GI Joe: Channing Tatum as Duke, Karolina Korkova as Cover Girl, Marlon Wayans as Ripcord, [...]

Paramount released the first photo on JoBlo of Rachel Nichols (Charlie Wilson’s War, Alias) in costume as Scarlett O’Hara in Stephen Sommers‘ live-action adaptation of GI Joe. Ranked Master Sergeant, red-headed Scarlett is the first female character in the GI Joe action figure line. Her weapon of choice is the crossbow (pictured in the promo [...]

LatinoReview is reporting that Brendan Fraser has filmed a cameo appearance for G.I. Joe. Fraser plays Gung Ho, a Village People-looking soldier from the toyline, during a training sequence in The Pit. If it was anything more than a cameo, I’d seriously question the logic behind this decision, as the actor hardly looks anything like [...]
