First of all i know this cast is huge but my idea is for a trilogy and i would like every episode to be more like a two and half hour war movie than just a typical action/adventure like Stephen Sommers film.
There should be alots of memorable G.I. Joe moments from the ´80s and ´90s A Real American Hero comics and also i think it would be cool if the film would open with narration which tells what year is it and what is going on.
That how we could get straight into action and not spent half of the movie to introduction.
My cast doesnt include all of the characters of G.I. Joe world but it includes the most important characters and my favorites. Those characters who didnt get into my cast i still think that most of them should have little cameos over hear and there. That would make the movie more fun to watch.
Director choices are Martin Campbell and Pete Travis.
I think they both got the talent to make this movie work. Campbell has made more hits than misses. Casino Royale and Vertical Limit has the attitude i think would fit perfectly for this movie trilogy. Same for Pete Travis´s Vantage Point and Endgame.
Also one of the main reasons I chose Travis as my other choice is what I have seen from his up coming movie Dredd. I think they both can make these movie look realistic and believable but sametime make it look like it was based on the comic.
Anyway now the cast. I think it speaks for itself. So I didn’t but their any explainations.
They all just worked!:)
