Paramount Pictures has released the first two photos of Ray Park as Snake Eyes in the Stephen Sommers-directed G.I. Joe, coming to theaters on August 7, 2009.

"He's the world's greatest ninja, but he's also next-generation. He's not afraid to use a sword one second, and a split-second later he's pulling out his Glock," Sommers told USA Today. "His chief nemesis is arguably the world's other great ninja, Storm Shadow. The two grew up together, were blood brothers and now are mortal enemies."

Sommers stressed that the movie is an origins story, so his challenge is to explain why the bad guy wears a metal mask, why Snake Eyes doesn't talk and other strange things kids took for granted. "For people who know nothing about it, it'll make sense," Sommers said. "And to people who love this stuff, it'll show where they all came from."

Adapted by Stuart Beattie, the action-adventure also stars Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Said Taghmaoui, Marlon Wayans, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Arnold Vosloo and Christopher Eccleston.

I heard about it a few months ago not sure how Im going to like Joseph Gordon Levitt as Cobra Commander.

[Cheerios]

He sure does look like a badass.

[Quixotic]

Forget his name (too lazy to look it up), but the guy who plays him was Darth Maul and Toad in X-Men. I can't tell if it might just be the suit, but he looks REALLY fucking buff in the pictures.

apparently too lazy to read the OP too

[Calais~]

If imdb.com is correct (lol) I'm really, really excited to see Marlon Wayans in this. All of the casting are...interesting choice to say the least.

[Guyverarmor]

From what It looks like, probably actualkly his body, not just a suit., I know when he trained for the role of Darth Maul, he had said in a interview that he worked out to tone up for about 6month or so before the movie, so he probably did the same again. <3 snake eyes though

And FUCK YEAH @ Cobra Commander

[Artemas]

Sexy.

And absolutely an awesome choice for Destro, but what the fucking hell were they thinking about Sienna Miller?

Levitt's one of the better young actors in Hollywood right now, looking forward to it.

Some choices I WTF at for casting this movie. Ray Parks is none of them.

I've seen two of his films in the last year, Brick and The Lookout. He's now on my short list of actors that I would see their next movie no matter what.

Should have been Roadblock.
