The two GI Joe movies I've seen are good for background noise (while I'm doing dishes or something).
How would you cast/recast a better GI Joe movie, made in the present or near-past? Also worth mentioning is if your fan film is set in the present or in the 80's. |

I'd go with a cast of unknowns so hat the audience can concentrate on the characters and not on the actual actors. I'd also get some more age appropriate actors depending on ranks, etc. Military type and even comic book movies cast actors who are way older than what they are in the source material. IE Roadblock is a SGT. The average age of a SGT is about 22-25.

I'd set them in the '80s but give them the tech of tomorrow, the original team. I wouldn't mind seeing Cobra troopers evolve into Major Bludd, Scar-Face, Snow Serpents, etc. Unknowns would be good but I would settle for actors who can ... act. I don't care if they look like fitness models. Clutch should be greasy. Rock 'N Roll should sound like he's from Malibu. Snake-Eyes should be a Commando. Scarlett shouldn't be smooching on Ripcord. I liked Dennis Quaid as Hawk, so I wouldn't mind seeing him re-cast as Steeler. Let's see the original team with cameos near the end of Doc, Gung-Ho, or one of the snow/sea Joes.

If you've ever seen the Val Kilmer/Elisabeth Shue film version of The Saint, the suit he wears just during the theft of the microchip looks quite a bit like a Snake Eyes suit, though maybe more v3 than v1.
As far as the casting itself goes, the using lesser known actors and actresses is definitely the way to go. |

Philip Winchester & Sullivan Stapleton from Strike Back (Stonebridge & Scott) def deserve a roster spot in any GI Joe. Instant credibility. Mark Wahlberg, Kiefer Sutherland too.

Winchester could make a good Duke with that jawline of his. Stapleton could be BeachHead because he has those intense eyes. Kiefer could've been Chuckles had he taken better care of himself. Marky Mark...
