First look ::: Marlon Wayans as Rip Cord in " G.I. Joe "

Now many may not be able to take the "White Chicks" actor serious for the body of work he has done. However falling into the trap of underestimating him is what the studios are banking on. In many cases Marlon Wayans has proven to be the most talented of the brothers, and has the most range. Do not forget his portrayal in "Requiem for a dream" in which he showed dramatic range and true character mix, that only the pros can pull off.

With the film dropping in August 2009, Marlon Wayans has plenty of time to get it going in the right direction, and bringing the action to the real live version of Ripcord. We all know that Ripcord was the comic relief however this is a fictional army movie, so I am sure the characters have to bring the balance of reality to make this a franchise worth watching.

By way of IGN:

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura took the assembled journalists on a guided tour of the Downey Studios facility, showing off such impressively designed sets as the docking bay for movie villain James McCullen's (a.k.a. Destro) underwater base; the above-ground, arctic cave entrance to said base; the control room for the base, also referred to as the M.A.R.S. (Military Armament Research Syndicate) headquarters; the "doctor's" laboratory where experiments to create enhanced soldiers are conducted; the interior of McCullen's personal submarine, modeled after a Jetstream airplane; the interior of a G.I. Joe submarine; the Urban Combat Level of "The Pit" (G.I. Joe headquarters); and much, much more.

Cast and crew on hand included actors Ray Park (donning the ninja-inspired uniform of Snake Eyes), Channing Tatum (playing Joe leader Duke), Sienna Miller (playing the evil villainess The Baroness), director Stephen Sommers (of The Mummy franchise fame), and producer di Bonaventura.
