Hey, remember when Joseph Gordon-Levitt was in G.I. Joe as a favor to his friend Channing Tatum? (I swear I am not making that up.) And he eventually became Cobra Commander for a few seconds towards the end of the movie? Well, the TV spot above, apparently intended for airing in the Super Bowl this Sunday, would seem to give us our first look at how the sequel intends to interpret his appearance this time around:
Jiggle will, of course, not be reprising his role, having moved on to the more rarefied air of The Dark Knight Rises; according to IMDB, the actor behind the mask will be Faran Tahir, perhaps best known as the doomed captain of the USS Kelvin at the beginning of Star Trek. (Also new to me: apparently Walter Goggins will be in this installment of the franchise.)
Also seeing their debuts recently is a promo spot for The Dictator, which has some wonky embed code attached to it, so you can just catch it over on Deadline if you're really desperate for more Baron-Cohen.
Also, Volkswagen has debuted their now-apparently-annual Star Wars tie-in commercial, featuring one of the best recreations of the Mos Eisley Cantina, as well as the aliens within it, that I've ever seen:
Must've been fun to be on that set. Plus it has a puppy!
Also while it doesn't have anything to do with the Super Bowl, MGM released the first shot of James Bond in Skyfall today (there was a shot earlier, but it was described as being from the set of Skyfall; this is apparently the first production still):
Hey, that's a bunch of stuff for you to talk about! You know where you can do that? In the comments below!
