What better way to kick off Old Toys Month at OAFEnet than with what may be the final noteworthy piece of casting news for Stephen Sommers' GI Joe<\/em> movie? The last update<\/a> finished off the Joe team, and this one should<\/strong> take care of Cobra.<\/p>\n You may have heard that Cobra Commander isn't going to be featured in this movie - he's just going to be behind the scenes, while his agents do their work. Instead, the \"main\" villain is going to be Destro, and David Murray<\/a> has landed the part.<\/p>\n Mostly a stage actor, Murray has apparently been described as a a cross between Alan Rickman and Clive Owen. If he can turn his Irish accent into a Scottish one and act like a self-righteous, upper-class snob, he should be golden. Hope he doesn't mind the mask. Murray had bit parts in King Arthur<\/em> and Batman Begins<\/em>, so you may have seen him before without noticing it.<\/p>\n And one other odd note from Murray's resume, GI Joe<\/em> is apparently being shipped around under the name \"Dark Sky.\" Is this just a step taken to throw off people looking to pirate the script early, similar to the way Return of the Jedi<\/em> was filmed under the false title \"Blue Harvest,\" or is it a hint toward the plot line? I mean, come on, \"Dark Sky?\" Remember how the second animated miniseries was all about Cobra's efforts to assemble the Weather Dominator? Yeah, dark skies, indeed.<\/p>\n
