And it's not your usual habit to argue like that. :confused: All we got off the collective tops of our heads is Jet-Li and Ray Park. It's like Shin said--it's just a guy doing flips in a mask & bodysuit. The majority of us aren't up with the hottest in movie martial-arts right now. Probably because it's all done now with wires and CGI anyway. And Gun, I know you think the "term" fanboy is a pejorative. . .but look where you are dude. -PJ |

I like the idea of Ray park as SE but tile mcgillus suggested (in another thread) someone who I think would do good in the role: Doug Jones (was Silver Surfer and Kronen from Hellboy)

Honestly, I could care less WHO does Snakes...as long as the character is done right!!
Besides, I really don't think the SE vs. SS thing will actually BE the whole plot. I think, to make it work, it would have to be a sub-plot (one of many)!! I bet we could all think of at least two sub-plots going on in the Joe history...i.e. Zartan and Firefly's ties to SE and Stormy, the romantic ties between Flint and Lady Jaye, SE and Scarlett, the Billy background, ...just to name a few! That's the exciting part about this movie! It could go anywhere!! |

That's the exciting part about this movie! It could go anywhere!! That brings to mind a potential problem.....What if they go with Scarlett and Duke as love intrests instead of Scarlett and Snakes. The cartoon seemed to be more for Duke but Snakes had his moments and the Comic left Duke in the cold |

It may mean seeing Scarlett with Duke throughout the whole movie but, seeing her falling into SE's arms in the end...priceless! Actually, does anyone know for sure that's not EXACTLY what happened! Duke and Scarlett together in the beginning...SE saves Scarlett's life...she falls for SE...SE ends up with all the "crap" assignments, LOL! Last edited by SnakeEyes; 10-08-2007 at 11:24 AM.. |

See the thing is, Jet Li can play ruthless characters who have been scorned and still retain a sense of honor, and are actually heroic and not evil, but I don't think he will be right for Storm Shadow. Honestly, I think Watanabe Ken is a better choice. His reserved, yet rigid portrayal in Last Samurai is evidence of this. He can play a character who can lead, but is pushed over for someone else(Snake Eyes).
As for Ray Park, how is his acting ability conversation wise? I imagine they will introduce Snake Eyes with a modern interpretation of the helicopter crash that leaves him mute. He has to portray a character that while heroic, is scared of everyone close to him dying. I think thats central to his character, and differentiates him from Storm Shadow in a major way. Jerwa touched upon this in Master and Apprentice vol.1, and its a defining aspect of Snake Eyes. He tends to be modest and mysterious, even before the crash, but is close to those he knows. I would even say, Snake Eyes was shy before he became mute. In the old marvel books, Stalker said Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow would talk up a storm, but that Snake Eyes wouldn't talk as much to others. Ray Park has the acrobatics down, but his ability to play Snake Eyes pre-mute is the ultimate deciding factor. |

But even if they do film an SE flashback (or what have you), whoever is cast won't even need lines, as evidenced in Marvel issues #26 and #27. It can all be narrative with sunglasses, a boonie hat, and a head bandage. Further, studios get to pay less to actors who don't have any lines. -PJ |

I bet they will have Duke and Scralett be a thing and not SE. Just a hunch.
