That is not too bad. I hope Randy is not Destro.

[Jeff]

At least it is someone I've heard of, though I am having a hard time seeing him in the role of Hawk.

[DPrime]

Dennis Quaid? Yeah, I think that works.

 

Really the only one I have a problem with in that article is Wayans - I hope he kicks the bucket in the movie.

[kingmoredred]

I think he will be a great hawk. All the movies ive seen him in he does a exceptional job.

[BrotherShane]

Not a bad choice for Hawk, I just caught him in Tough Enough the other night. @bounce@

[Mullog21]

Not a bad casting

[punishment-101]

I like this casting and I think he can pull it off, would like to see him in a war movie of some sort to get an idea of his abilities with military characters, granted as Hawk he'll probably be a desk jockey character but who knows.

Try Enemy Mine. A sci-fi flick, but one of my fav sleeper films from the 80's--Quaid is good enough in the movie.

[Blackmada]

I love Enemy Mine. My folks rented that one weekend when I was a kid and I watched it a zillion times before we took it back.

 

I need that on DVD.

[AngelaB2]

They actually have a relatively well known actor in this movie?

 

I just hope it's not going to be another Street Fighter.

[Devilbat]

Awesome news! Perfect casting IMO...

Guile was always percieved as the hero in Street Fighter II as he was the only "American" next to Ken, who returned from a previous Street Fighter.

 

Now, we all know Ryu wins, but he doesn't have a backstory that leads to a good movie plot like Guile does!

[Ccav]

this is uplifting news to say the Least.

Dennis Quaid is a great Actor, his presence should make this unlikely to become the street fighter

type movie.

 

I cant see Quaid doing a Movie with gimmicky crap.

[cmderinchief]

I am cool with this. I liked him in Innerspace.

[Admiral Hunter]

I am cool with this. I liked him in Innerspace.

 

That movie is older than most of the people I hang out at the con with... (Good movie though!)

[SalvoDeli]

G.I. Joe 2: Starman Brigade

 

Oh wait, thats Jeff Bridges.

[GGPiKE]

I am cool with this. I liked him in Innerspace.

Wow, I loved that movie when it came out! I guess Gary and I can count ourselves as "old men" then.

[Tazzzman]

I am fine with this choice as well.

[Rodimus Primal]

Dennis Quaid will definately bring a lot to this movie. Great casting.

[obiprime]

Ive always Loved Quaid So Even though I hadnt Imagined him Im sure he will do a hell Of a Job.

[CLAM]

I do love Dennis Quaid.. one of my favorite actors.

 

some of my favorites of his:

 

Innerspace (I've seen it at least 20 times)

Enemy Mine - One of my childhood favorites, we wore the VHS out on this sucka, recently picked up the DVD

Everybody's All American - a great football flick

Any Given Sunday - another great football flick.. he just pulls off that tough old guy role so well.

Frequency - big time underrated, if you haven't seen it, SEE it!

The Rookie - a real feel good movie

The Day After Tomorrow

 

and Vantage Point looks like a winner too.. I'll see that when it comes out

 

 

 

My only concern with Quaid is that he is the correct age, but the other Joes will be too young.. I mean Hawk and Duke aren't that far apart are they?

[Blackmada]

Back when the Hawk v2 came out I thought of Hawk being late 30's and Duke early 30's.

I think the idea with Hawk is that he's the old General who puts the Joe team together. And once together, they report to him. The black-ops-of-black-os?

 

Hell, this movie would be just as good if they called it Rainbow Six (for any who have read the book).
