Lee Byung Hun in Hollywood G.I. Joe

Top American film site IMDB announced that hot Korean actor Lee Byung-hun will be playing one of the main roles in the American film “G. I. Joe” to be released this August.

Currently in pre-production, the film has Lee in the role of Storm Shadow, along with Sienna Miller as The Baroness and Ray Park as Snake Eyes. Lee’s character Storm Shadow is a ninja threatening Snake Eyes and has a dark and mysterious past.

Based on a popular animation series, “G. I. Joe” will be directed by director Stephen Sommers, who also directed “Van Helsing” and the “Mummy” series. The film’s producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura personally met with Lee after he saw Lee’s impressive performance on “The JSA.” “G. I. Joe” is not Lee’s first overseas film, for he has wrapped up the filming of the thriller “I Come with the Rain” with Josh Hartnett in Hong Kong late last year.
