This is a "seriously, just for fun" thread. Find a pic of a celeb you think could play one of the Joes... or who looks like s/he may be auditioning for the part. Here's my first..

Stargate: Atlantis/ Game of Thrones's Jason Momoa, auditioning for the part of Chuckles.

And here he is again, going out for Mainframe. (I kinda like the idea of an action guy playing Mains... after all, he's got to have SOME ability to fight, if he made it into the Joes to begin with...)

I will totally do this in the am when I am on my computer. For some reason my kindle isn't working to upload pics.

Okay...in my head Angie Everheart would be a great Scarlett

And I think John Cena would be a good Duke

DON'T Laugh!!! Now we would obviously have to beef him up a bit, and add reconstructive scars, but Paul Bettany is my vote for Snake Eyes.

Here are a few of my picks:

JOES

General Hawk

OR

Either Kurt Russell or Harrison Ford would be great as Hawk, although I had no problem with Dennis Quaid

Duke

Chris Evans gets my vote

Snake Eyes

To me, Jason Statham IS Snake Eyes, without question

Storm Shadow

If you have seen the movie Ninja, then you agree that Tsuyoshi Ihara is basically portraying Storm Shadow throughout the entire movie

Stalker

OR

Either Delroy Lindo or Denzel Washington would be great

Scarlett

Jennifer Garner - think Elektra without the superpowers

Flint and Lady Jaye

David James Elliot and Catherine Bell would be naturals as the power couple

Gung-Ho

Steve Austin (the wrestler not the bionic man) has the right attitude

Roadblock

OR

Can't go wrong with either Michael Clarke Duncan or Ving Rhames

Cover Girl

Say YES to Jessica Alba!

Torpedo

Timothy Olyphant just has that Kanaka boy look to him

Ripcord

Jeffery Donovan gets my vote

Recondo

When I think of Recondo I can't help but think of Hugh Jackman

Leatherneck

Bruce Campbell + porn mustache = Leatherneck

Beach-Head

Gerard Butler could use his 300 persona without the beard

COBRA

COBRA Commander

How perfect would Gary Busey be???

Destro

Chris Eccleston made a believer out of me in one of the VERY few bright spots of RoC

Baroness

Monica Bellucci would make an AMAZING Baroness!!

Zartan

Arnold Vosloo was the other bright spot of RoC

Zarana

Pink is a no-brainer

Major Bludd

Gary Oldman has the look, but does he have the accent?

Firefly

Christian Bale definitely has Firefly's attitude

Tomax/Xamot

Gary and Emdund Entin are already twins and even have that look. Question is, who gets the scar?

Well, that's about all I would want in the movie, so I'll stop there.

I am SO loving this! I never heard of Jason Statham - but he's got the build for SE; MissChris, don't fret about the need for make-up... doubt we'll find a scarred actor! <G>

For Snake Eyes, I pictured Daniel Craig's face w/ makeup, though I don't know about his body.

Statham was in the Transporter and Crank movies, as well as War with Jet Li. He could whip Ray Park's behind without breaking a sweat.

my pick for Beach Head would be Max Martini from the tv show "The Unit" (also in The Great Raid and Saving Private Ryan). When I have a chance I will post his pic.

Okay, I may be nuts here... but after seeing The Avengers, I'm thinking - how the heck did anyone NOT cast Scarlett Johansen as Scarlett???? Even with the emotionally-null Scarlett of ROC, SJ could have pulled it off - it hit me hard during Black Widow's interrogation of Loki that THIS was what I'd been looking for in that movie! Gahhh... what could have been!

(Of course, Avengers had Joss Whedon and a hell of a better script... but still...)

She did cross my mind for both Scarlett and Cover Girl, but neither stuck.
