'G.I. Joe: Retaliation': Cobra Commander Is A 'Physical Adversary,' Dwayne Johnson Says

If you prescribe to the philosophy that a hero is only as good as his villain, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" may have been causing you some concern. Sure, the ninja fight on the side of the vertical rock face looks great, but which of the film's villains can realistically contend with the mass of muscle that is Dwayne Johnson's Roadblock? Certainly, he won't engage Zartan in fisticuffs while he looks like Jonathan Pryce. But thankfully, Johnson took the time during Toy Fair to speak with MTV News and clear the air about who he'll battle in "G.I. Joe: Retaliation." Johnson admitted that Roadblock will fight Firefly, a pairing that makes sense given the casting of Ray Stevenson, but the ultimate foe may come as a surprise. "There are a couple [physical adversaries]. There is Firefly, who's played by Ray Stevenson. Of course, there's Cobra," Johnson said. We knew from an interview with director Jon Chu and the trailer footage that the new version of Cobra Commander left most of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's portrayal behind, and Chu described Cobra Commander in "Retaliation" as "more badass than ever." Adding the physical threat from the head of Cobra would definitely be a way to do that. Johnson confirmed that there will be a physical tussle between his character and Cobra, giving Roadblock a more worthy opponent. "[Cobra Commander] is a physical adversary, as well as Firefly. That was one of the cool things about the script and about this character; it's finding the right adversary and building to that," Johnson said. "So we have Firefly and then ultimately Cobra." Who will win the battle of Roadblock versus Cobra Commander? Tell us in the comments section and on Twitter!

Foerster: Gives Shakespeare a modern edge

Anna FoersterRole model: "Anything in nature."Film or digital: "It used to be film but now it's digital."Favorite tool: "Atmospheric smoke."Representation: Claire Best & Associates"Anonymous," Roland Emmerich's fanciful take on who really wrote Shakespeare's plays, may be Anna Foerster's first feature as a d.p., but the 41-year-old German-born, L.A.-based director-cinematographer was more than ready to take the reins.With a skill set that includes blue/green screen visual effects work and underwater and aerial photography, she's been collaborating with Emmerich on his big-scale, effects-driven projects since "Independence Day," on which she contributed visual effects photography, and worked her way up to second-unit director/d.p. on his "10,000 B.C." and "The Day After Tomorrow.""But ironically, when Roland asked me to do 'Anonymous,' I'd actually left cinematography behind to concentrate more on directing," says Foerster, who's been helming CBS' "Criminal Minds" and "Unforgettable" in NY. "I'd wanted to move more into directing, as I found myself in this weird situation -- a lot of people weren't confident about me d.p.'ing a small feature as they assumed I only knew how to do these humongous films, and the big studio movies were like, 'But she's never done first unit.' Yet people completely trusted me with a directing job."Despite all this, Foerster, whose second-unit credits include "Aeon Flux" and "Johnson Family Vacation," immediately jumped at the chance to shoot "Anonymous." "I love working with Roland, and it was a great project, partly because we had the opportunity to shoot the first film ever with the Arri Alexa. It was a big challenge, as it was the prototype, but I approached it as if it was a new film stock. And as it was a period piece, we could really take advantage of the natural candlelight and firelight because of the camera's amazing low-light capabilities."With her return to cinematography, she's been "bombarded" with more offers to d.p. "And I'll keep doing it, but what I plan to do from now on is both direct and d.p., depending on the project," she says.Foerster also plans to keep doing both film and TV projects. "I call TV boot camp," she says, "because of the speed you have to work at, but it can really help your film work -- and vice versa."Trailer: "Anonymous"Return to 10 Cinematographers to Watch Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

Sundance Today: Snow, Snow And More Snow

Snow. I hate snow. Perhaps hate is a strong word, but make no mistake, the blizzard like conditions that have afflicted Park City in the past two days have made the Sundance Film Festival an unwieldy beast to tame. Bus operations have been wrecked. Traveling on foot without boots has become damn near impossible a problem for me, considering I left my boots at home, banking on getting some spiffy new foot gear at one of the festival's many swag spots. Rookie move, folks. Still, despite the fact that it looks like we're North of the Wall in the Lands of Always Winter, we push on. There are movies to see, talent to interview, and pizza tacos to consume. No amount of snow will stand between us and cinematic victory. Today's agenda is no less packed than our previous days at Sundance. We're making "Something From Nothing" with Ice T. We're going to enjoy our "First Time" with Victoria Justice. We'll interview Jon Heder and Paul Dano "For Ellen." We're even going to spend some time with "Robot and Frank." It's an eclectic assortment of talent coming through the MTV Movies base camp set up at the Puma Social Club, to say the least. With any luck, there will be time for me to pick up some boots as well. Because, seriously guys. There is just no walking in this snow without the right equipment. Future Sundance kids, learn a lesson from my mistake: never bank on swag, and always pack boots. Anyway... just like Farva's suspension, our journey through Sundance continues. Keep tuning into MTV Movies for more updates as they come. The 2012 Sundance Film Festival is officially under way, and the MTV Movies team is on the ground reporting on the hottest stars and the movies everyone will be talking about in the year to come. Keep it locked with MTV Movies for everything there is to know about Sundance.
