In any event, there are parts of the world where it's an issue, like Western Europe, and parts where it isn't, like the U.K., Australia and Asia. Maybe the movie should be set during WWII and we'll see how much Western Europe minds a movie about the American military.

There were online reports last week that Stephen Sommers (The Mummy) was attached to direct. Later, it was reported he was off the project because of his salary demands ($10 million). Apparently, Mark Wahlberg is the front runner to play Duke. If so, I hope this movie never sees the light of day.

Some possible plotlines for a GI Joe movie in today's Hollywood:
Joe storms Gitmo and releases all the prisoners
Joe brings peace to the Middle East by sabotaging Israel's nuke program
Viewers don't ask, Joe doesn't tell

So Hollywood will do for GI Joe what they did for Pearl Harbor.
Thank goodness Mitch Paige isn't around to see this.

LOL, my 6&7 yr olds have their gi joes spread throughout their bedroom right now and are in the process of killing and/or capturing the enemy. There must be 15 joes, along with the necessary items: guns guns and more guns of all sizes and calibers, grenade launchers, off-road-vehicles, motorcycle, and assorted boots and hats.
Right now the enemies are “the germans.”

I just5 hope they have better aim in the movie than they did in the G.I. Joe cartoon>
In the cartoon, they couldn't shoot for sh*t.
