G.I. Eko?

gi_joe.jpgGo, Joe!  Fresh on the heels of the very popular Transformers movie and with Iron Man poised at the gate, it would seem that our old toys and comic books have become the new breeding ground for big special effects and even bigger budgets.  Although, when Strawberry Shortcake versus Rainbow Brite hits the big screen I am sure it will be a sign of the coming apocalypse!

The latest Lost alum to find his way into the limelight, our very own Nigerian drug lord turned fake priest, Adewale Akinnouye-Agbaje, has landed a role in the new G.I. Joe motion picture set to open in August of 2009.  The film also stars Dennis Quaid as General Hawk; Channing Tatum, fresh from the current film Stop Loss, as GI Joe team leader, Duke; Rachel Nichols, from Alias and the new Star Trek movie, as Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara and Marlon Wayans as Ripcord.

For those of us who were not exactly G.I. Joe aficionados, the overall premise of both the comic books and cartoons revolved around an elite counter-terrorist team, whose main purpose is to defend human freedom from Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world.  According to Wikipedia, the film, which is set ten years in the future, follows the G.I. Joe team as it continues to battle the evil Cobra Organization, run by a Scottish arms dealer.

Triple A is playing a character by the name Lamont A. Morris, also known as Heavy Duty.   Mr. Duty is supposed to be an ordnance expert.  Well, we can only hope that there will be no Artz involved!
