In a move that rectifies what many fans perceived to be a mistake in Rise Of Cobra, according to screenwriter Rhett Reese, Snake Eyes in GI Joe 2, will not have the molded faux lips on his mask!
Snake Eyes won’t have lips.But I think you guessed that already!
Perhaps the faux abs will go too, perhaps we’ll see an all new costume altogether?

In answer to a couple questions... I had a ton of G.I. Joe toys in the eighties. Collected just about everything at that time. I also read the comic books. Favorite single issue was definitely Silent Interlude. To be honest, I didn't re-read the comics as we approached the movie. Definitely brushed up, research-wise, but didn't want to be influenced too much by old story-lines. There's a fine line doing movies like these... you have to be reverent of the lore, but not prisoner to it. Our hope is to find the perfect balance.
With luck, our G.I. Joe script will stay under wraps. We weren't so lucky with our Deadpool script. Some of you may have gotten your hands on that one...
This might amuse you. Some of the very first movies I ever made were with my G.I. Joes. I tried doing stop-motion with a video camera - does NOT WORK obviously. Then basically made a G.I. Joe movie like a slide show. Would pose the figures. Say a couple lines of dialogue. Then repose them. Etc. Hilarious. I'll have to dust those off someday! Maybe for the DVD extras?
You're going to be getting a lot of variety in this upcoming movie. Lots of characters, new and old, settings, vehicles, etc.
My favorite thing to write is a good villain... kind of ironic since Zombieland didn't have one. G.I. Joe is chock full of cool ready-made villains... so writing the Cobra side of the story has been pure joy!
Bill Murry for cobra commander :P
nice!!! read my Pm on your profile if you could and get at me!!!
dizamn Homie is really on this board choppin it up hope its really a writer!!!
Cool, looking forward to it. Hope they get Gary Oldman to play Cobra Commander and make sure they use the hooded and the faceless shield commander. Pleasee...
Put an australian in!
lips or no lips it didnt bother me to much he didnt stay still enough for me to notice them on film, no abs? that will make him look fat make him go shirtless if that is going t ohappen
Yeah, that whole lip thing was kind of out of left field. I think the initial costume designer got some skewed reference material or something. Good to hear we won't see it again in film #2.

Also really hoping they separate themselves a bit from the whole Sigma 6 look and feel for the costumes and go with a bit more traditional military, if only because the toys will be cooler.
well thats good news
