Here’s the first look at communications specialist Breaker (Said Taghmaoui), the Cobra Viper (footsoldier, Joe’s equivalent of the Stormtrooper), the villain The Doctor (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and the Zartan, the master of disguise (as played by Arnold Vosloo).
As I know nothing about G.I. JOE, thanks to /film for the heads-up on the image (which they put together) and the character information.

If your like me and are a G.I. JOE ignorant, you might want to check out all these identification cards below…













G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA opens in August.

This will suck. I cannot believe what they’ve done with the characters, particularly the Cobra Commander (Doctor?!?). And Zartan?!? Absolute wad.
Yeah. This looks utter shit.
Wow.. Straight to Video look feel from those pics.. looks 80 styles cheeeesssssssy i honestly looked at the pics and said WTF outloud at work and laughed.. man thats just horrible.
It’s interesting that they’ve shown that Zartan is a master of disguise by making him look like a fairly dull, normal bloke, actually. Especially when in the toy line he looked like the least convincing master of disguise ever: a scrawny bloke wearing a brown leather cap and eye make-up, whose disguise was a mask which made him look just about the same – but with a beard. His ‘disguise’ was a beard. To my eyes, that makes this film’s Zartan a much better choice.
I agree that everything else about this film looks terrible, though. Why on earth is Chris Ecclestone appearing in something like this?
A quick look at Zartan’s wikipedia entry also reveals that he had skin that turned green in sunlight. To summarise, then: a skinny bloke who wears a leather cowl, black eye make-up, and, occassionally, a false beard, whose skin turns green on exposure to sunlight.
Yes, that screams ‘master of disguise’ to me alright.
those look really amateurish, and not good amateur, more like fifth grade school assignment
Why does every site think that’s the first image of Breaker? Have you all forgotten about the character promo pics that were released months ago?
Okay, it’s official. This movie looks like a pile of steaming, stinking crap. But the marketing campaign will be enough to get the drooling CGI-monkeys to show up. So we’ll most likely see at least one sequel.
Guess we’ll have to wait eight to ten years for someone to take a shot at a GOOD version of Joe.
