One of my favorite toys as a kid, G.I. Joe action figures, are coming to the big screen. Channing Tatum is set to star as Duke.  Steven Sommer will direct the action flick.

He’ll be joining Sienna Miller, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Said Taghmaoui, Marlon Wayans and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the cast for the action-adventure.

Filming is set to begin next month.  The movie is tentatively scheduled to be released on August 7, 2009.
