Casting Rumors, Screenwriting rumors and official statements, a lot has been happening with the big screen adaptation of G.I. Joe.
First up is a rumor from our friends at IESB: Paramount Pictures has offered the role of Duke to George Clooney. Apparently the big screen star walked away from Joe Carnahan’s White Jazz not only due to scheduling conflicts, but because Clooney is looking for a big blockbuster. Who knows if any of this is indeed true or just Hollywood gossip, and even so, who knows if Clooney would be interested in staring in a G.I. Joe movie. The idea could translate into a really really horrible film, so I’ve assumed that big Hollywood stars would stay far away from such a project. But with Transformers breaking out huge, more big name stars might be willing to take a chance on a project like this. And besides, Clooney put on the nipple-added batsuit with no problems, so he’s not beyond looking stupid in a big screen blockbuster. The Hollywood Reporter claimed yesterday that Paramount had asked for three different scripts from three different writers (Stuart Beattie, John Lee Hancock, and Brian Koppelman and David Levien) for G.I. Joe, and “will perhaps combine the best parts from each one.†Apparently that is not true. Hancock and Koppelman/Levien were actually brought on board to polish certain scenes from Beattie’s draft before the WGA strike deadline tomorrow. Meanwhile, Hasbro has posted a statement for fans, hoping to clarify some of the facts behind the development of the live action film. Last edited by tkprime; 02-27-2012 at 12:56 AM.. |

I would strongly take this as gossip, this guy doesn't fit the rest of the movie's casting direction at all.

Definitely an out of date article with little to no credibility, in my opinion... Justin |

While I like Clooney, I don't see him as Duke. I'd rather an unknown play Duke and mandate he must have BLonde hair...
