Paramount's 'G.I. Joe 2' Casts 'Friday Night Lights' Star Adrianne Palicki

Jon Chu is behind the camera for this one and here are four things in the trailer that are noteworthy:

1) The ninja battle on the mountainside. Chu comes from the world of dance movies and the sequence looks like he busts a move.

2) Adrianne Palicki, sadly the once and never Wonder Woman, makes her first big foray into film since wrapping Friday Night Lights.

3) Dwayne Johnson is all over this trailer. You know who isn't? Channing Tatum, who starred in the first movie. Intentional or something more nefarious...like perhaps, Tatum doesn't have a big role in the movie, if you know what I mean?

4) Bruce Willis in action mode but not above making fun of his age. He comedically played the over-the-hill action man in Red. Now with this, the aging star seems to be relishing his near-AARP status.
