Here an article on the film by Access Hollywood:
Access Hollywood And here's a quote that AICN emphasized:
Quote:
| The film is reportedly an origins story. It could explain why Destro has a chromed head and why Snake Eyes doesn't speak, among other outlandish details of "G.I. Joe" that the cartoon never explained. |
Thank quote kind of shows how clueless Access Hollywood can be. All you need to do is take a trip to Wikipedia for some of Destro's backstory:
Quote:
| He wears a mask forged from Beryllium Steel, a tradition dating back to the English Civil War, when an ancestor of his was caught selling weapons to both sides. Forced to wear a steel mask for his crimes (neither side wanted to execute the ancestor because they still wanted the weapons he sold), the Destro clan has since turned it into a symbol of pride, passing it down from father to son for over 20 generations. |
However, it has got me to thinking how they are going to do his mask in the film. Especially since the show used the weird cartoon logic, where is mouth moved even though he's wearing a metallic mask.
I wouldn't be surprised if his looks a bit too much Dr. Doom from the Fantastic Four movies.
