G.I. Joe Movie Destro, What Should He Look Like?

[LaDracul]

A CGI mask is probably what we might get...but well, I just want to see him without the mask at various points....

[MLos1]

A lot of what the mask will entail is really going to be based on the movement of Eccleston in his portrayal of Destro. Body language and such, to make it believable. The human mind associates movement more so with form than pure "looks". I think it's why the Predator with the mask on functions so well, because the body and Predator movements are done really great- especially when portrayed by Kevin Peter Hall. Kane Hodder did a good job with Jason Voorhees also. It's going to be about how the mask moves and how the character moves with it on. Visually, it'll be cool, but for me, it's all about the movement- that's where the first step in securing a cool mask should come from. Does it move right on his head? when he turns? when he speaks? when he walks? when he fights etc, etc. That's the key to a good key prop like this whether it's CG or phys-FX.

For me, I always thought that Destro would wear his mask to hide his identity and when in battle. If I were to design it, it would be practical, so his ears and eyes would be open, and his mouth would be open just for the fact it would let the actor emote.

I guess it would look something like this. (Realize I did this real quick, with about the first pic of Chris Eccelston I could find)

I spent a bit more time. This is kinda what I had in mind. Wish I woulda worked on a diff picture maybe, but oh well.




Bout the same, but i played with his eyes a bit.



And for the green eyes fans (maybe destro can have little green tented lenses in the helmet, night vision, etc, w/e.)

*SPOILER ALERT* Now from what I heard, isnt the mask in the movie supposed to be some nano tech, so is it me, or does from the sounds of it, are we basically gonna be seeing the same actors head but enhanced with silver color, basically his face made silver.

Are we talking Silver Surfer then for his face look maybe? ROFL

You have heard correct. CC controls Destro with the nanites. They encase his head like liquid mercury.

this happens right at the very end-when "The Doctor" becomes Cobra commander and he renames Mcullen "Destro"

I whole heartedly agree with this statement.
