More join up with GI JOE!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I don't know about the rest of you guys, but this project is striking all kinds of weird chords with me. My memory of GI JOE was of the cartoon and teeny tiny toys. Army dudes were never my thing as a kid... I preferred more fantastic or odd stuff... PEE-WEE'S PLAYHOUSE, NINJA TURTLES, THUNDERCATS, etc. So, I don't really have a connection to the property, but I love some of the imagery, especially that of the bad guys, and see this movie as a chance to see some big budget fun shoot-em-ups. The casting is what's odd to me. It's eclectic to say the least. Already we have Ray Park as Snake Eyes and Sienna Miller as The Baroness with rumors of AVATAR's Sam Worthington circling the role of Duke if AVATAR's schedule isn't pushed back much farther. IESB broke the casting of Asian star Byun-Hun Lee as ninja Storm Shadow and the studio has confirmed him. This morning's Variety has info on 3 more member's of JOE's team. We have Scarlett, Breaker and Heavy Duty. Rachel Nichols (P2, AMITYVILLE HORROR) plays Scarlett, a martial-artist specializing in hand-to-hand combat, Said Taghmaoui (one of the smaller roles in THE KITE RUNNER) is Breaker and Mr. Eko himself, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, will play Heavy Duty. Stephen Summers directs (not comforting, I know) from a Stuart Beattie script (slightly more comforting). Thoughts?
