ING.com has posted new information about the Live Action G.I. Joe Movie. Included was the Green Light Budget of $170 Million! It would seem that Paramount was not only rushing G.I. Joe into production because of the looming Writers Guild strike, but also the studio stands to lose the rights to the property if it doesn’t shoot a G.I. Joe film for Hasbro ASAP.
Oh yeah George Clooney is not involved at all with G.I. Joe The Movie. Did we really need confirmation?

Just a day after a rumor that George Clooney would star in GI JOE we have more potential casting news. Variety is reporting that Australian actor Sam Worthington is in talks to star in GI JOE. Paramount is currently negotiating with Fox to make sure Worthington is done shooting James Cameron's AVATAR by JOE's planned February start date. It's unclear if the Clooney rumor is old news and Worthington would instead be playing Duke but consider the Worthington news more solid than the Clooney rumor. Worthington was seen on some Australia soaps and starred in the upcoming crocodile thriller ROGUE. Stuart Beattie (another Aussie) just recently finished script revisions that combined two existing GI JOE scripts. Stephen Sommers (THE MUMMY) is set to direct for Paramount whether Clooney, Worthington or Scatman Crothers is starring.

I will fully support this choice if it gets officially confirmed. I think he would be a good Duke.

Not bad at all! I think it's good that they are digging a little to cast some of these roles.
I like Clooney but he would have been wretched as Duke!!

If he's not American, he shouldn't play Duke. Think about it. He shouldn't have to try to act American. He should just be American. I hate to be a Nationalist here but That's how I feel. I wouldn't want Penelope Cruz playing Scarlett would you?
