LOS ANGELES – It’s one of the most shrouded summer movie mysteries: What will villain Cobra Commander look like in “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt , who stars as the masked baddie in the film, isn’t giving away any details. But the 28-year-old actor says the character’s look was the main reason he signed on for the role.

Gordon-Levitt says his reaction to the drawings and designs for the character was: “Oh wow, I get to be that guy? Fantastic. Sign me up. Please. Thank you.”

“G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” based on the popular toy line, will be in theaters Aug. 7.

They should have got John Lithgow to be Zartan, or at least this dude. Please, Thank you

Hasbro announced today that G.I. Joe: Resolute, an adult fan oriented animated mini-series, will be broadcast via Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim on television as well as online. Based on the classic G.I. Joe brand, Hasbro created 60 minutes of total content for this new story which will be presented as 11 episodes.

Beginning on April 17, fans will be able to see the first five minutes of the brand new, stand-alone animated mini-series on AdultSwim.com. These episodes are broken down to ten 5-minute episodes and one 10-minute finale. Following the first episode on April 17, subsequent installments will be posted on the Adult Swim website leading up to a full presentation of the entire series. This finale will be broadcast on Adult Swim April 25 at midnight. This televised event will not only feature all episodes seen online, but will be the first time fans can watch the final 10 minutes of the G.I. Joe: Resolute saga. All episodes, including the finale, will be available to view online after this airing.

And peep the bootleg SDCC  video;

Conspicuously missing from the displays in Hasbro’s Toy Fair showroom and never shown with his mask on in the trailer, Ebay and an overseas seller provides us with the first look of movie Destro with his mask on from the upcoming film GI JOE: The Rise of Cobra. Destro is played by former Doctor Who actor Christopher Eccleston.

Devastator Vs. Shipwreck

Toy Fair ‘09 has confirmed  two things, Transformers the movie is going to be totally awesome, and the G.I. Joe movie is going to tank! It looks like Devastator and Shipwreck will both be making appearances in summer blockbusters. When I was a kid, all I wanted was Devastator, the idea of taking toys and building one giant super toy, that blew my mind. So after months of pining away for that florescent Green and Purple giant, especially seeing my friends and neighbors playing with there own Devastators, jealousy begins to set in. Finally, my birthday arrives, what do I get? Muthafuckin Shipwreck!

Well I’m still on the fence about this…Transformers actually instilled an iota of hope for the GI Joe movie.  The posters just came out and although they look pretty good, did anybody else notice that anyone who isn’t dual wielding has the signature “kung-fu grip”?

maybe its just me…LOL
