It's in the works, folks. So far, it doesn't sound too horrid; just script submissions and an overall idea. Hopefully this makes it to the theaters and is a success.

Give it time.

Well, I hope they threw out that leaked script from a few months back which turned the movie into a GI Joe/Action Man buddy comedy.

Still, I'm glad they're trying to appeal to the 60's fans as well as the 80's fans. The recent America's Elite comic has been giving Joe Colten (the original GI Joe from the 60's) a bigger role and I imagine something like that might please the old fogies.

Just please, no Atomic Man or Abominable Snowmen.

And likewise for the 80's no-nos, please keep Cobra-La out of it.

IMO it will be hard to top Transformers. That movie rocked.

*ZariusTwo* · 07-16-2007, 10:33 PM

It won't be hard at all. The film is overrated.

Everyone knows I love Transformers, but I'd dare say I love GI Joe more. I really hope They don't dissapoint me with this. I've been waiting for a GI Joe movie since I was a kid.

I loved G.I. Joe! Here's hoping for Scarlett in love with Snake Eyes and not Duke (not that I hate Duke, they were a cute couple in the cartoon, but I just prefer Scarlett/Snake Eyes from the comics, such a tragic romance). Any chance they could get Larry Hama as a creative consultant? I know the Transformer movie guys at least talked to Simon Furman in the very early stages of making the movie at some point.

Hmm...hopefully they'll get an actress who is talented as well as attractive for the role of Scarlett.

And they hopefully won't turn it into a ripped-from-the-headlines, overly realistic crapfest, wartime action movie of epic proportions.

*ZariusTwo* · 07-20-2007, 01:59 PM

...But that's why Larry Hamma's comics are awesome

Signed. Larry Hamma's comic version of GI Joe are great.
