News > Two More for GI Joe

Written by David Morgan

The casting announcements for Stephen Sommers' live-action GI Joe action-flick just keep on coming in. Joining the lineup, according to The Hollywood Reporter, are Said Taghmaoui (The Kite Runner, Three Kings) and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Lost, The Bourne Identity). Akinnuoye-Agbaje will play ordnance expert Heavy Duty and Taghmaoui will play Breaker, the team's communications specialist.

Just as a quick update, this means they'll be joining Sienna Miller (aka The Baroness), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), Rachel Nichols (Scarlett), and Byung Hun Lee (Storm Shadow).

I think it's great that these days foreign actors can use their real names in Hollywood without too much trouble. If this were the 1940s I imagine we'd be announcing (over the radio, I suppose) that Sandy Tague and Adam A. Baga would be playing Breaker and Heavy Duty respectively.
