Slashfilm reports the following:
I have just confirmed that Star Wars Episode 1 star Ray Park has been cast as Snake Eyes in Stephen Sommer’s big screen live-action adaptation of GI Joe.
Snake Eyes is one of the original members of the GI Joe series. Hasbro has released over 30 figures of the character since his debut in 1982. Not much is known about the ninja master’s real identity, as it has remained classified throughout the series. The U.S. Army Sergeant First Class (E-7) is known for his stealth like movements and extensive knowledge of multiple forms of martial arts. Snake-Eyes is romantically involved with fellow G.I. Joe member Master Sergeant Shana M. O’Hara, a.k.a. Scarlett.
Slashfilm may or may not have a scoop here, and this might be complete bunk. Interesting, logical bunk, but bunk nonetheless. The reason I bring this up is that it’s not being confirmed (yet) by other movie sites. Time will tell.

If it’s true it’s cool.
Would be pretty sweet if it was true. I’m pulling for it.
