And more we shall have. In addition to the casting news we’ve already brought you, we now hear that Joe Mazzello is coming on board as well. Who he? Well, he was the desperately annoying kid in Jurassic Park that you hoped would get eaten but didn’t and since then he’s cropped up in The River Wild, The Pacific and The Social Network. He’s in his late twenties now, so fits the bill age-wise and although he looks a little, well, weedy to be appearing alongside Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson and (presumably) Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, given that his character’s name is Mouse rather than Roadblock, Heavy Duty or Duke, maybe he’ll do fine.
I share the aprehension of another GI Joe film. The latest trailer is bewildering if not boring but Joe Mazzello is definitely worth watching. An actor of his talent may knock (sections of) this film up a notch.
