NEWS FLASH: Channing Tatum's 'G.I. Joe' Moves to the Czech Republic
Today a 'G.I. Joe' producer in Prague let the Prague Post know the film will be shooting a big car chase scene in and around Barrandov Film Studios in May.
"It's going to be one big car chase," said David Minkowski, of the Czech production company, Stillking Films. "Director Stephen Sommers, who made both 'Mummies,' and who filmed 'Van Helsing' here, loves Prague and action."
As I mentioned a few months ago, 'G.I. Joe' originally started filming in early February for approximately 5 weeks in California. Filming is set to start up again as early as next week, and the article says it will bring several big Hollywood names to Prague, including Dennis Quaid, Sienna Miller, Dwayne Johnson, and Channing Tatum.
Minkowski also mentioned that filming will take over large chunks of Prague Old Town. Residents and store owners in the affected streets have already been notified about the production.
'G.I. Joe' is set to hit theaters on August 7, 2009. You can CLICK HERE to check out all of the international release dates for the highly-anticipated film.
Stay tuned to Channing Tatum Unwrapped, and I'll keep you posted on any 'G.I. Joe' filming reports from the Czech Republic.

Both him and Brendan Fraiser have worked with Sommers before, so if Fraiser was confirmed to be attached to the Joe film, it was a matter of time until we received a confirmation from the Rock.
Caliburn says
Nice update, thanks. This raises a thought in my head. Does anyone else think that Sommers is setting us up for a Rock GI JOE spin-off movie. He did try it with the Mummy, a very unlikely spin-off with the Scorpion King. It just seems like a lot to fly The Rock in for a what appears to be now: a glorified expanded Cameo.

dood i hope he is playing someone other than shipwreck................

I heard he is making a cameo playing himself as "The Rock" and is going to be the bodyguard of Specialist Matt Trakker, which is also a cameo, but the scene can only be seen after the final credits.(So make sure you stay way past when the credits end.)

Give him a mustache and he can be Alpine. The Rock is good at being a sarcastic wise-acre. Oh! Oh! He can be the 'new' Sergeant Slaughter since the Slaughter we know and love is a bit over the hill and well... quite frankly a bit portly... to reprise a role as himself. In a way, it'd be a good throw back/tie-in to the WWE... not that the Rock is doing that anymore :p
And as much as I loved M.A.S.K. as a kid... please, please, please leave Matt Trakker out of this (too late). I swear... if I see Scott and T-Bob in any way... I'm goin on a killin' spree.

Since there is a $400 "Roddy Piper" figure does that mean a 25th Modern Era "The Rock" figure is not too far behind?
vision_vanson says
I also think the Rock can be the new Sgt. Slaughter and do a damn good job. That would be a great casting choice bc the Rock already has that drill instructor voice and was also a wrestler for the WWE so it makes sense for him to be the new Sgt. Slaughter. I really don't see him as a Shipwreck or anyone else on the Joe team except for maybe Beach Head.
STORM SHADOW says
He is not Shipwreck. This is turning out real bad, real bad.
