Brendan Fraser And The Rock In GI Joe?

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 the actor.

Also, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has apparently been offered the role of the Latino Navy SEAL named Shipwreck. And yes, The Rock is Samoan, so this makes perfect sense. But I've learned to stop questioning the logic behind this movie long ago...

Both actors have previous ties to filmmaker Stephen Sommers, who directed Frazer in The Mummy and The Rock in The Mummy Returns. So politically it makes sense, even though it doesn't make sense for the characters or source material. I mean, who cares about the characters or source material anyway?

GI Joe will hit theaters on August 7th 2009.
