Marlon Wayans has been cast to play Ripchord, new leader of the JOEs, in the upcoming film. Enjoy this copy pasta:
"According to Variety, Ripcord is now the leader of the Joes. While there's no mention of traditional Joe leaders such as Duke, Hawk or Flint being in the Stephen Sommers-directed film, the trade paper adds that Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brick, The Lookout) is also in negotiations to join the project in an undisclosed role.
In the comics, Ripcord (a.k.a. Ohio native Wallace A. Weems) is a HALO (high altitude-low opening) jumper.
Variety also reveals that G.I. Joe will be set 10 years in the future. Filming begins next month in Los Angeles for an Aug. 7, 2009 release.
Marlon Wayans' credits include Little Man, Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2,Dungeons & Dragons, Norbit, The Ladykillers, and Requiem for a Dream."
