Dennis Quaid Dishes on G.I. Joe Movie

244quaiddennis021407.jpg The G.I. Joe movie goes into production next week.

At last week’s press conference for the film Vantage Point, Dennis Quaid talked about portraying Joe leader General Hawk:

“He’s kind of a cross between Chuck Yeager, Sergeant Rock and maybe a naïve Hugh Hefner thrown in there,” the actor joked. “General Hawk’s aide-de-camp is a Victoria’s Secret supermodel. I mean, how serious can it be?”

Quaid added that the story will be set “a little bit in the future. In a way, the Joes are like this international, sort of special forces type of group that mainly fight these terrorist groups that spring up. The movie is more like James Bond, with the group being SPECTRE — there’s this evil mastermind that’s behind it.”

G.I. Joe is slated for an August 2009 release.

Karolina Kurkova Added to G.I. Joe Cast

The cast of the upcoming G.I. Joe movie just got A LOT prettier.

Czech model Karolina Kurkova, best known for her work for Victoria’s Secret, has reportedly won the role of G.I. Joe team member Cover Girl. This would be Kurkova’s first acting gig.

In the comics, Cover Girl, a.k.a. Courtney Kreiger, was a former model who joined the military. IGN has learned that Cover Girl will be a German character in the film version, which is in keeping with the film’s emphasis on bringing an international flavor to the former Real American Heroes.

The G.I. Joe cast thus far includes Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Marlon Wayans, Dennis Quaid, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rachel Nichols, Ray Park, Arnold Vosloo, David Murray, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Said Taghmaoui, and Byung-hun Lee.

G.I. Joe Casting Change: Sam Worthington Out

Sam Worthington had been a reported contender to play the lead role of “Duke” in Paramount’s G.I. Joe movie. But that seems unlikely to be the case.

Bur rumors now state that Worthington’s schedule shooting James Cameron’s sci-fi epic Avatar ultimately couldn’t accommodate G.I. Joe. Therefore, who is in the running to play Duke?

According to Latino Review, Chris Evans (Fantastic Four, Sunshine), Matthew Fox (Lost, Vantage Point), and Channing Tatum (Step Up, Supercross) are the three frontrunners for the role.
