While performing a press junket for his upcoming WE OWN THE NIGHT drama, actor Mark Wahlberg was asked about his involvement in the production of G.I JOE. Heather Newgen posed the following question because of persistant rumors from numerous sources that he was up for the leading role in the Stephen Sommers adaptation.
ComingSoon.net: Are you still up for the role of Duke in "G.I. Joe"?
Mark Wahlberg: Oh, I have no idea. Lorenzo [di Bonaventura] was talking about it months back, when we were promoting "Shooter" but I haven't seen a script.
No actors are currently attached to the G.I JOE production and the only rumored attachment hasn't seen a script yet. This film was previously announced to be on a fast track to filming before the impending June 2008 strike. Stephen Sommers won the directing gig for the film after the studio loved his story pitch. Without a script or a cast, it's questionable whether this film makes the June 2008 deadline.
