G.I. Joe the Movie

[exitspeed]

My second favorite toy as a kid.

You might have already heard about this one, but it seems like a good time to start an ongoing thread seeing how news of the movie is coming pretty frequently now.

I really hope they don't fuck this movie up. It almost seems hard NOT to though. Only time will tell.

Joe Might Not Blow
New G.I. Joe based in ''The Pit" after all.
by IGN Staff

November 5, 2007 - Hasbro and Paramount have been taking heat from diehard fans and movie bloggers for months because of the newly globalized take they're planning for the "Real American Hero" in the forthcoming film based on the popular '80s comic and cartoon series. The new-school Joe team was conceived not as a top-secret U.S. special forces team but rather an international operation based out of Brussels -- the name being an acronym for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity.

While we've all known this for a while, a recent headline on the popular Drudge Report news website has led to a proliferation of stories about the changes to G.I. Joe in the mainstream media. Naturally, there's been widespread poo-pooing of the idea, and now Hasbro has released an official statement to attempt to turn the tide of negative publicity. It seems the toy maker and movie studio may have made a slight concession and changed at least one element of the film's story in response. The new G.I. Joe team, according to the statement you'll see below, will now not be based out of Brussels, but out of "The Pit" just like in classic Joe.

Here's what Hasbro has just posted on their website:

Hasbro's G.I. Joe Team wanted to take this opportunity to clarify some of the facts regarding the G.I. Joe live-action movie that we are developing with Paramount Pictures.

First and foremost, we are not changing what the G.I. Joe brand is about. The name "G.I. Joe" will always be synonymous with bravery and heroism.

- Marvel Comics
The G.I. Joe brand has enjoyed a successful 43-year history, spanning two key generations. The first was the line of 12-inch "realistic military" figures that were popular with kids in the 1960s and 1970s.

The second generation, was created in 1982, and is based on a cast of fictional heroes and villains that make up the "G.I. Joe vs. Cobra" fantasy. The premise of this fantasy is the story of the G.I. Joe team, led by Duke, and their "fight for freedom wherever there is trouble" against the evil Cobra Commander and his Cobra force. This storyline was an instant hit with kids in the early 1980s, spawning a highly popular 3-3/4-inch action figure line, comic book collection and animated series.

This movie will be a modern telling of the "G.I. Joe vs. Cobra" storyline and its compelling characters that Hasbro created 25 years ago. The G.I. Joe team will not be based in Brussels. Instead, they will be based out of the "Pit" as they were throughout the 1980s comic book series. And, in keeping with the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra fantasy, the movie will feature characters and locations from around the world. Duke, the lead character and head of the G.I. Joe team, will embody the values of bravery and heroism that the first generation of G.I. Joe figures established.

G.I. Joe is a very important property to Hasbro and we thank all of our fans for their enthusiasm. Without all of you, the brand would not be where it is today.

Thank you.


Will Hasbro and Paramount give the legions of fans what they want -- a true adaptation of G.I. Joe -- or will they bite the hands that feed them and produce a bastardized version? We'll keep you posted on the latest developments.

Seriously, we have too much in common. Transformers was my favorite, w/GI Joe a close second. If you tell me that Snake eyes was your favorite character, then Mom and myself are gonna have to have a talk about a long, lost brother that no one told me about.

[xamraci]

They have to stick with the original concept or they will fall to the will of the unknowing and overpaid...:bite:

Storm Shadow just commanded a certain amount of respect b/c of the way he handled himself.....he was just a cool cat. You know if I wasn't 32 that would probably have sounded cool.....

That would be so awsome if they have one of those "knowing is half the battle" fact skits at the end of the movie.

hmm well, im always a bit skeptical when movies like this come up, as i was with transformers...but if they can get the right people itll rock!

Storm Shadow action figure = Instant Gentleman back in the day. It was so hard to find a Storm Shadow. Everyone raided the shelves the day they stocked. I was never on time for the original Storm Shadow and had to get the new version (hooded with black slashes/camo)

[Saltman]

It's so tight that all these movies of the cartoons we grew up with are coming out now. It's cause the kids that watched them with us growing up have now got in the positions where they can make movies of the stuff we loved as kids. Freakin' awesome. Of course, in 10 years from now, the new generation might be coming out with [insert sorry new cartoons here] the movie. Yuck.

Good questions. FYI the same producer that did Shooter and TR, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, is doing GI Joe, so that's a good sign. He wants Mark Walberg as Duke. Fine with me. I like Walberg. He's a good actor in these kind of movies.

Wow. all my memories are coming back.

I think I might be the only person whose favorite joe was Cloudburst.
Cloudburst continued to command my forces even after losing a forearm in battle (he crashed his glider on the sidewalk). I mean, the guy came with a pink MP5, how awesome is that?
I got so excited when I saw him in the cartoon driving the brawler for like 2 seconds.

Wow...funny how i just found this shiet. I just got done downloading a torrent of all the GI Joe episodes.

Snake-Eyes fTW!!! How many BLIND muthafucka do you know, can kill you 101 ways with a plastic spoon?!?!

Him then fucking Heavy Duty, a guy walking around with a fucking gattling gun is always cool in my book.

PS: Storm Shadow and Snake-eyes arent brothers, but they did train together under Storm Shadows ninja clan iirc.

[ThatGuy]

IGN did a good job picking actors. Unfortunately Hollywood will surely change it up and screw up something.

The only thing that needed to be right in Transformers was the voices. Look how close it came to them screwing that up too. I mean the CG robots could be changed at any point, and the Die Hard fans were upset enough with the vehicle changes (best damn commercial GM ever made though!).

<----Patiently waiting on more information.

So it appears that this writer strike is going to effect a lot of the movie's we're looking forward to, including GI Joe and Transformers 2.

Strike Watch: Possible Delays
Transformers 2, X-Files, Wolverine, G.I. Joe, JLA and more.
by IGN Staff

November 12, 2007 - With Hollywood's screenwriters on strike, and talks between the scribes and studios seemingly at a standstill, a number of highly-anticipated movie projects are in danger of being indefinitely delayed. Even after a "finished" screenplay is turned in, changes are frequently made to film scripts during filming. With the strike going on, that can't happen. This scenario is forcing studios to only move ahead with projects that they have serious confidence in.

Which of the flicks you're looking forward to might not make it into production? Variety has an in-depth look at the situation and updates on over a dozen different films that could go either way.

Writer Paul Haggis tells the trade that Bond 22's script is not locked, so Sony may end up extending the planned December start date for Daniel Craig's sophomore outing as 007.

Variety scoops that the casting situation with Justice League -- no cast members are locked -- has Warner Bros. execs wringing their hands. The studio also faces trouble with The Incredible Mr. Limpet if the strike extends beyond February. And they'll also have to delay Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins if it goes into April. Warners does reportedly have a locked script for the live-action Jetsons movie, however.

Could G.I. Joe be a no-go? Not likely. Paramount recently hired four big-time scripters (Stuart Beattie, John Lee Hancock, Brian Koppleman and David Levien) to make sure the film will have no problems when it comes time to shoot in February. Variety adds that Joe has the additional plus of not relying on megastars that require huge paydays. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura explains that their casting search is more about finding actors that are perfectly suited to their roles, regardless of their billing clout.

Transformers 2, which Michael Bay is set to start filming in June, could run into problems if the strike lasts for more than a few months. As could Disney's game-to-film adaptation of Prince of Persia which is slated to go before cameras around the same time next summer.

Wolverine is still ramping up, but will likely have to rely on visual effects gurus to craft the action sequences during post-production, Variety says.

The newly greenlighted X-Files movie sequel will probably be fine, as the studio has invested too much money in the production already. It starts filming in December with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising their roles from Chris Carter's hit FOX show.

The big-budget remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, starring Keanu Reeves, is also expected to move forward at 20th Century Fox.

Finally, Universal is reportedly mulling their options on Land of the Lost, the forthcoming Will Ferrell comedy redo of the campy TV classic. Also on the bubble at Uni are Benicio del Toro's Wolfman, and Ridley Scott's Nottingham.

Because Maul was sliced in half by a Light Saber, the would was instantly cauterized. His part was through for that movie, but he came back later in the novels.

He was found, still alive, with no legs. When he came back to terrorize he had a set of mechanical legs. 4 of them to be be exact, and he had rebuilt his dual saber.

more joe's........... according to ign:

Now comes word that the roles of Scarlett and Storm Shadow have been cast.
Storm Shadow, according to "exclusive" scoops appearing on both IESB.net and LatinoReview.com, is to be played by actor Byung-hun Lee (Winter Sonata). Lee is a superstar in Japan and his native South Korea, and should be familiar to gamers as he starred as the main character in Capcom's Lost Planet (http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/761/761580.html).
The sites also tip that the role of Scarlett will be filled by actress Rachel Nichols who recently appeared in P2.
http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image/article/842/842382/joecastinginline_1198025539.jpg - Summit Entertainment, BOM Film

If confirmed, which we expect they will be soon, both actors will join Park and Sienna Miller in the production. Miller was cast in November as The Baroness.
The live-action film directed by Stephen Sommers continues to cast up for a February production start. If all goes as planned G.I. Joe will make its big-screen debut on August 7, 2009.

Whoa whoa, back the truck up! Cobra Commander isn't the main villian!?

Producer Gives G.I. Joe Update
The word on Destro, Hawk and Zartan!
by Stax

January 8, 2008 - G.I. Joe producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has given an update about what's currently happening with the Paramount live-action movie, which begins filming next month in Los Angeles.

In an exclusive interview with IESB.net, di Bonaventura spoke at length about the film, particularly on the characters and casting. The producer said that an announcement on the casting of main villain Destro is expected "within the next two weeks," adding, "We don't have a guy chosen, we have the list down to about 4 or 5. All of them are of the English, Irish, Scottish persuasion shall we say." Destro is Scottish in the comics.

Di Bonaventura also said that the casting of Hawk, a.k.a. (Colonel later Major General) Clayton M. Abernathy, should be revealed within the next two weeks as well. The producer confirmed that negotiations are currently under way with an actor to play Cobra's master of disguise, Zartan, and that this casting will probably be announced within the next week and a half. The producer dodged when asked if the actor playing Zartan would be an Australian like the character. "He is a really good actor, you guys are gonna like him," di Bonaventura replied.

When pressed about what other Joes might appear in the movie, such as Cover Girl or Shipwreck, di Bonaventura explained that it all comes down to the economics of filmmaking. "Right now Cover Girl is in the script but whether we can afford her or not is another question."

The producer also tacitly confirmed a SPOILERISH rumor that IGN ran yesterday where we reported that the recently cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt would play Duke's best friend, a character who in previous drafts of the script became Cobra Commander. "I would say to you that there's already been an announcement of a guy we're in negotiations with who would play one of the villains," di Bonaventura revealed.

The general hawk in flight suit with the jet pack, gold and brown iirc...my all time favorite. The one I remember the most was the special edition Refrigerator Perry figure, I had to save up and order it. He did a few episodes and they made the action figure. I wish I still had that stuff in a box somewhere. Good times.

Also found this one, all the version of Snake-eyes ever made...had the blue one w/ red mask, that was the shiznet cuz it had a grappling hook...

The 88 version was my favorite.

[mrmephistopheles]

I think this film has good potential.

I SERIOUSLY doubt HASBRO will allow their franchise to be fucked up, considering their involvement with and the outcome of Transformers.

That being said, I don't hold my breath when it comes to movies anymore.

[fliprayzin240sx]

I think movie producers are now understanding the need to get inputs from the fans. Theres been enough movies where they asked for the inputs and actually acknowledged them. I think this trend kinda started with X-Men...remember the Juggernaut as far as lines?

to answer your question............... NO

:D

[jackjack]

uhhhh...... bro....... that was already posted on page 3.

[HyperTek]

I dont think i watched enough GI Joe.. guess i was too busy into ninja turtles lol

hopefully it will be entertaining for adults etc..

they did a good job on transformers it was entertaining to watch as adults could enjoy it too.

man all this snake eyes stuff... reminds me .. they should make a metal gear movie..i think its a big enough franchise. its bigger then hitman and they made a movie about hitman.

Exactly. I am seriously questioning those two choices. Why the hell would you be so spot on with 98% of the casting choices but screw up on those two...arguably some of the favorites from childhood for a lot of people. Although I have to say seeing Ray Park play snake eyes will be fucking sick. I can't wait to see it still.

Thats the glory of this movie, that i personally think do a bit of justice.

Destro is the main baddie in the flick, but in actuality, its CC. He's the one pulling strings behind the shadows, manipulating Destro and Baroness. He'll come into his own.

Exactly. I am seriously questioning those two choices. Why the hell would you be so spot on with 98% of the casting choices but screw up on those two...arguably some of the favorites from childhood for a lot of people.

a fucking agree...bruce willis would have killed in this movie so well....and ripcord...i dunno...why not lawrence fishburn (sp) or someone who actually would meet the criteria...


but fuck it....storm shadow and snake eyes....if they dont have atleast a 5-10 min battle between those 2, the movie will be instad disaster for me, and any real GI joe fan that knows those 2 and there backround

[98s14inaz]

WTF i got really pissed when i saw that

In his defense though cobra commander was a whiney bitch in the cartoons so maybe sticking a mask on a whiney bitch actor will work just fine.

New interview with Byung Hun-Lee, Storm Shadow.

I like this:

IGN: Do you fight Snake Eyes in the film?

Hun-Lee: Yes, they have grown up together actually, like brothers, but there is a big misunderstanding between them. So even though they have grown up together, they become rivals, so they have to fight. It's kind of their destiny. I cannot talk about the twist, but the relationship between him and Snake Eyes -- the dynamic between them -- should be one of the most interesting points of the film.

Looks really retarded. Forgive me for not being able to take pretty boy Channing Tatum and funny guy Marlon Wayans seriously.

In regards to Marlon Wayans, watch Requiem for a Dream.

That'll at least show you how much he's capable as a serious actor.

[ESmorz]

Looks like some sort of futuristic syringe with some mountain dew in it.

This is probably the ONLY good thing to come out of the GI Joe Movie.

That is exciting. I wish TF would do a legit series again. I hate the over the top anime inspired shows.

I love remakes.

Looks like it's like Afro Samurai, same animation style actually. Just rushed wouldn't be surprised if it's the same company that does the animation. Colors are pale and washed out, anyway I fell asleep watching it last night, but looks like a good hour long cartoon with no commercials. I'm thinking it's a 1 shot deal.

[exitspeed]

Wow surprisingly IGN gave it a positive review!

This review alone has convinced me to go see it.

[tricky_ab]

Explosions, power suits and cleavage... whats to dislike? This film is turning heads around. Like I said to a bunch of my friends, I've always believed in it. I had no idea why people would bad mouth it. Action looks decent,story[ if you actually watch these things for that] is ok.

[cxlo8331]

i will check tis out this weekend.

hopefully it won't suck.

[DALAZ_68]

no actual female nudity...:rant:

lol

still checking it out... :)

[mehsilvia]

So ive been under a rock for awhile, and not until recently did i see the trailer for this.



Sitting on the couch with the wife, the trailer starts. IMMEDIATELY i look over and say - "Oh yeah, we gonna see this shit!"

Then i quickly glance back to see two dudes in "power suits" doing cartwheels around a missle :-/

Needless to say, i got a little more than a glance back from the wife :squint:

This may end up another one i have to wait for rental

[BustedS13]

movie looks like spandex wrapped cgi clown shit

[SochBAT]

Lets all play Halo3 guys!

its aint always a good time...

i was about to suggest that...damn...im at work till 5...ghey

[SochBAT]

Seriously though, GI Joe has a FUCKING RICH ASS HISTORY of awesomeness.

Why do they gotta fuck up all movies with Origin-type bullshit?

If i were to have made a Joe film, I'd have it knee-deep in Joe v Cobra fighting. Character development thru the course of the movie, not "Meet Duke. He's the Leader. He played QB in Highschool!"

"Now Meet Ripcord! He used to work at the local news stand with his brother, and was always found at the Diner, which was owned by his father, Pops. He wasn't good in life, so he joined the Army. Go Joe!"

And StormShadow. Gooood lord. KPop start? Really?

[cxlo8331]

so did anyone see this?

[DALAZ_68]

seriously, its out, does anyone actually have time unlike me to watch this

[exitspeed]

I've been wanting to go but have been so fuckin busy. It's pissing me off. I miiiight be able to go tonight.

[Daniel.]

It says a lot that no one on here has seen this yet haha.

It says even more that despite that it still made $100 million dollars int he first weekend.

This is true. And this is also why the studios will order a sequel to be made sometime this week, regardless of how much money it makes in the long run.

:p

[fliprayzin240sx]

I saw it out here in Japan last week end. Needless to say, I was disappointed. I mean, its not a bad movie, but seems like they cut alot of fucking corners. It didnt have the same "Wow" factor like say, the first TF1. Seems like they run out of money for the fucking CGs. All the CGs seems so fucking washed and plain/generic. If they made this whole movie focus on Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadows ALONE, it would have been 500% better.

PS: Who ever was the military advisor for this movie need to get slapped in the face, How the fuck are you gonna be in full service uniform with a fucking Goatee?!?!

[BustedS13]

couple buddies went to see it, i declined. it looks like shit, and everyone says it was shit.

but, it's pg-13. so it can make money anyway. which is equally shit.

You hit the nail on the head.

[VIPDRFT]

I saw the midnite showing. It was packed! If you go see it, I recommend sitting a little closer to the screen and not in the nose-bleeds. Overall, it was better than I expected. Snake Eyes was bad ass!

[murda-c]

It really was just like watching the cartoon.

Silly as fuck, but i enjoyed it.

[anthony240]

I liked the concept, but could've been brought together cleaner. Flashbacks were not needed. Cobra, Baroness, and Zartan were played well by their actors, the rest was garbage, especially Channing Tatum, who the hell cast this guy? Snake Eyes/Stormshadow fight scenes were keeping me from walking out of this movie.

[BustedS13]

i'll probably go ahead and double feature it with something else. i call bullshit on this movie being worth 10 bucks to see.

[exitspeed]

I'm gonna wait til it's at the Budget Theater now. I wanna go see District 9.

[anthony240]

My Friday double feature: District 9 and The Goods

[exitspeed]

I'm buying this for sure.

I never realized SnakeEyes had a mouth loooking thing in the movie..

WTF.
