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?
