Marlon Wayans has joined the cast & crew of G.I Joe, reports Variety. The trade says the actor will be playing "Ripcord", a leader of the military unit in the Paramount adaptation of the 80's toon/comic. Trade also says that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in negotiations to join the cast though we don't know the role selected for him. Rachel Nichols, Sienna Miller, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Said Taghmaoui have already joined the cast and director Stephen Sommers plans to begin shooting next month in Los Angeles. Stuart Beattie wrote the final screenplay with Paul Lovett & David Elliot and Skip Woods all contributing on earlier drafts. Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Hasbro's Brian Goldner plan to produce the flick.
Plot Summary: The war-themed story will take place 10 years into the future with the movie will being a modern telling of the "G.I. Joe vs. Cobra" storyline and its compelling characters that Hasbro created 25 years ago. The premise of this fantasy is the story of the G.I. Joe team, led by Duke, and their "fight for freedom wherever there is trouble" against the evil Cobra Commander and his Cobra force. This storyline was an instant hit with kids in the early 1980s, spawning a highly popular 3-3/4-inch action figure line, comic book collection and animated series. The G.I. Joe team will not be based in Brussels. Instead, they will be based out of the "Pit" as they were throughout the 1980s comic book series. And, in keeping with the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra fantasy, the movie will feature characters and locations from around the world. Duke, the lead character and head of the G.I. Joe team, will embody the values of bravery and heroism that the first generation of G.I. Joe figures established.
G.I Joe will hit theaters August 7, 2009.
