Sure Shots: GI Joe 2; Pacific Rim; Rebel Wilson joins Struck by Lightning

* Everytime I hear the name Joe Mazzello all I can imagine is him as a little kid in movies like Star Kid, Jurassic Park and Radio Flyer. He's grown to become a solid actor now, with a stint on HBO's war series The Pacific, and also recently in The Social Network. Now he's going to play a southern ladies' man in G.I. Joe: Cobra Strikes. He'll play a character named Mouse, who to the best of my knowledge was created solely for the film. [Deadline]

* Another human set to defend the the world against a horde of giant invading monsters. Max Martini(Redbelt) has joined the cast of Pacific Rim, Guillermo Del Toro's sci-fi flick featuring humans wielding futuristic weapons and mechs in battle. Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi star.

* Rebel Wilson, who shot to notoriety as Krisen Wiig's dazed Brit roomate in Bridesmaids, has joined the cast of Struck by Lightning. This is the indie comedy from Glee star Chris Colfer, in which his character is killed by a lightning strike, leading to a series of flashback showing his life of blackmailing people. Dermot Mulroney, Allison Janney, Christina Hendricks, and Sarah Hyland also star, with Brian Dannelly(Saved!) directing.
