George Clooney as G.I Joe?

[DontMindMe]

After having lots of critical, but not as many, financial successes, George Clooney is looking to action hero G.I. Joe to amp up his box office prowess. The mega-watt star has replaced one project with this action adaptation.

According to Moviehole.net, Clooney has abandoned his role in director Joe Carnahan’s film White Jazz in favor of appearing as the action hero.

A source tells the website, “Rumor is that one of the reasons he (Clooney) walked away from White Jazz was not only due to scheduling conflicts but also because he is looking for a blockbuster to star in.

I really don’t know much about G.I. Joe, but isn’t Clooney too old for this? He reportedly was offered the role of Duke, and beat out Mark Wahlberg.

G.I. George anyone?

I had a GI Joe doll, he was married to my barbie doll. Other than that, who is GI Joe?

Funny how in the end all these celebs seek box office success in spite of all the movie critic brown nosing.

George Clooney is not manly enough to be GI Joe.

First David Hasslehoff as Nick Fury and now George Clooney as G.I. Joe? What the hell? That's wrong on every level. Is Hollywood trying to destroy all of the cartoons I loved as a kid?

Not only is George not manly enough..he is too damn OLD! GI Joe was not a gray haired middle aged guy! Jesus what the fuck is he thinking? He would be better off playing GI Joe's father for Christ's sake! This needs to go to a guy in his 20's..a rising and yeah, hot and masculine younger guy.-are there any of these in Hollywood now?


And I am not being biased as I am the same age as Clooney!

Clooney was the one who ruined Batman in the 90's. Keep him busy doing political and fluff crime movies. Let's find some hot newcomer to be G.I. Joe.
