The Sequel to the 2009 action film G.I. Joe looks to be adding its first new cast member.
Variety is reporting that Dwayne Johnson is in talks to star in G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes as Roadblock, whose real name is Marvin Hinton. The African-American character, who features in the G.I. Joe range of toys, comics and cartoons, serves as the team's heavy machine gunner and cook.
Jon Chu is directing the film - due out in August 2012 - from a screenplay by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
Three cast members from the first film are set to return - Channing Tatum as Duke, Ray Park as Snake Eyes and Lee Byung-hun as Storm Shadow.
We were hearing early last month that auditions were taking place, with Danny Arroyo (Lethal Weapon 4, Repo Chick) and former X Factor winner Shayne Ward among those who have tried for new roles in the film.

In 1984, Director Alex Cox brought the world his punk cult classic, Repo Man. The movie was a bomb at the box office but it was a critical success and has found a life of it’s own since hitting TV, VHS and DVD. 27 years later, Cox has decided to revisit the world of repo with his somewhat follow up, Repo Chick. I just wish he would have taken a vacation into another land instead.
Repo Chick tells the story of heiress with problems Pixxie De La Chasse. She has been arrested many times, has 9 court dates, is caught sleeping around and causes nothing but problems for her father (Xander Berkeley), aunt (Karen Black) and grandmother (Frances Bay). Her family decides to cut her off unless she finds a job. Pixxi is not happy with this decision, as she thinks it’s not fair. Along with her entourage; SixSixSix (Danny Arroyo) Pixxi’s bodyguard,...

Filmmaker Alex Cox's kooky comedy Repo Chick - the "official non-sequel" to his 1984 sci-fi cult classic Repo Man - is to get a Us theatrical release this month as it heads to DVD and Blu-ray.
It will open theatrically at the IFC Center in New York on January 14 and at the Downtown Independent in Los Angeles on January 21.
It will then hit stores on DVD and Blu-ray on February 8, as confirmed by Disc Dish.
Repo Chick was shot 98 per cent on greenscreen and also incorporated miniature sets and stop-motion animation.
I've been sent some exclusive stills showing scenes before and after the digital backgrounds were added, giving an insight into the production and the amazing possibilities presented by modern technology. Those comparison images are included below.

Until we have a solid casting announcement for the next Superman, there will continue to be rumours aplenty.
The fansite True-Blood.net reported that Joe Manganiello was 'in talks' for the role, but the actor has now said on Twitter: "Just to be clear... as of today, I am not 'negotiating' to play Superman ...but keep your fingers crossed and thanks for the wishful thinking!"
Examiner.com adds to the speculation, telling us that wrestling star and actor John Cena (pictured) is in the running and that Dwayne Johnson had also been under consideration.
The new film, directed by Zack Snyder, will be unrelated to all previous releases including the most recent endeavour, Bryan Singer's Superman Returns in 2006. Bryan had at one time spoken of his ideas for a direct sequel but Warner Bros has instead decided to reboot the franchise.
So what does Singer think of these latest...

Actor and writer Danny Arroyo was recently welcomed to The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation as an ambassador.
The foundation works to improve the quality of life for those with paralysis. Arroyo says he became involved because Superman actor Christopher Reeve was his inspiration and his icon.
He told Foundation organisers: "The reason I am an actor today is because of Christopher Reeve. I caught the 'acting bug' after seeing an interview with Chris about playing Superman; and then, watching his movies... I was hooked. Chris to me as a kid growing up was, and always will be, the comic icon Superman.
"As I got older and saw not just the trauma Chris suffered, but how he endured and continued to achieve and inspire others, he then became to me a real 'Super Man'."

After 2002's Die Another Day was reviled by critics, many fans and by veteran Bond star Roger Moore - despite being the highest-grossing 007 adventure at that time - producers admitted they wanted to return to the traditional formula.
They hit reset and the result was 2006's Casino Royale with Daniel Craig as a more craggy, edgy 007.
It was swiftly followed by direct sequel Quantum of Solace. The next instalment - so far known only as Bond 23 - is on hold while studio MGM is up for sale so it's the perfect time to look back on Bond and find the winning formula for the next film.
In this guest article, actor/writer/producer and self-confessed movie and comic book geek Danny Arroyo - whose upcoming films include Kill Katie Malone, Groupie, and Repo Chick, which was featured on here last November - takes a look at which Bond movies deserve a licence to thrill.
