First look at Snake-Eyes from next years live action G.I. Joe movie. Looks pretty f’in good to me. He’s being played by Ray Park, the same guy who was Darth Maul. I can’t wait to see him in action. Stephen Sommers, the director, has already indicated he’s going for the feel of the original Snake-Eyes so the character will be mute and a lone wolf type. He’ll use both his sword and guns when fighting! I’m hoping for something similar to the Gun Kata from Equilibrium but with some sick swordsmanship thrown in!
Also for all you Cobra fans Storm Shadow will also be in the film. I’m sure we’ll get to see at least 1 or 2 epic confrontations between the two!
The original USA Today article can be found here.
**UPDATE**
Came across another image! This time with the sword and the gun! Ultra high res version can be seen here.

Why does the director have to talk like such as asshole?
“…but he’s also Next Generation.”
Seriously, fuck you, pal.
Looks good though.

what’s so bad about that statement? He’s just making the point that he’s a ninja that uses guns.

I’m just to sick to shit of lame ass, buzz-worded, salesmen, douchebags that need to package everything for consumption or lamprey to everything in an attempt to make something cool. The pictures say everything, don’t huck to me about how it’s current and connected to all things buzz. He must be burned out from feeding that shit to the suits.
This would also make me puke…. “he’s very a paradigm-shifting, metro, socially-conscious character who’s very much of the next-generation.”

Jesus Christ, I just want him to make a good movie and shut the fuck up. You think people need advertising and salesmanship for a G.I. Joe movie? I’m sure if this was the 90′s he would have thrown in the word “cyber” for some reason.
How stupid does he sound? He’s the next generation of black-clothed, mute, ninja, commandos. He uses a gun. Wow, my socks are officially blown the fuck off.
Let’s just keep dropping buckets into the well of “other people’s ideas” until we’re remaking remakes. I’m sure this will be a ridiculous, ass sucking movie. Now let’s see if they prove me wrong.

He’s got a point…who the fuck does this guy need to sell the movie to? GI Joe has a huge fanbase last time I czeched. Stop wasting your time on overselling the goddamned movie and put some brain power into making it better than Van Helsing, shitbag. Of course, what difference does it make…since his movies gross over $100 million in the first couple of weeks anyway, he could just film himself eating burritos while taking a shit for 2 hours straight and slap a brand on it. Bravo!
