• New Images of the Cast of G.I. Joe

  After scattering images of the G.I. Joe cast all over the internets for the past few days, the folks at Paramount did us a huge favor and released them all in one big batch today. From the looks of it, characters Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes and the rest of the real American heroes have all gotten the modern superhero movie makeover: sleek, form-fitting black costumes with shiny armor plates that conveniently enhance each actor's musculature. We like what we've seen so far, but we'll reserve final judgment until we see what they're able to do with Gung Ho, the Village People dropout who serves as the Joes' Recondo (Reconnaissance Commando Doughboy).

  Head over to our G.I. Joe page and click on the "Photos" tab for Hi-Res images of stars Channing Tatum, Rachel Nichols, Dennis Quaid and more in action.

  Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ellen Page and Thomas Haden Church are a bunch of smart people who make stupid decisions in Smart People, a dark comedy by director Noam Murro.

• Dennis Quaid gears up to play General Hawk in G.I. Joe

  Going into production next week is the eagerly awaited live-action G.I. Joe flick, with Dennis Quaid headlining an (almost) all-star cast. At today's Vantage Point press day, the Enemy Mine star talked about playing Joe leader General Hawk:

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

  Quaid went on to say 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."

  Speaking of evil masterminds, who will be playing Cobra Commander?

  G.I. Joe is slated for an August 2009 release. Vantage Point opens nationwide on Friday, February 22nd.
