Looks like Stephen Sommers is the new man in charge at GI Joe Headquarters! The word is that Paramount has offered Stephen Mummy Wrangler Sommers the task of bringing the next old school icon back to the big screen.
It looks like rather than sticking with either the Skip Woods origin story or Elliot/Lovetts more straight out adaptation they will be focuisng on a mash-up of the two.
Whats unclear is what this means for Sommers remake of When Worlds Collide which is supposedly in pre-production as I type this.
Is Mark Walberg still strapping on Dukes boots ? IESB got the original scoop on his casting and it stands to reason he's still onboard but it's Hollywood so you never know.
Could GI Joe be the next Transformers ? Hard to say without any giant ****ing robots on screen to wow people they are going to need some serious action and big names to get that level of hype...oh yeah and casting two INSANELY hot chicks for Scarlett and the Baroness couldn't hurt either....and by all means my place is available for casting calls.
Now the real big question that fans are going to hit on is the most obvious one: Is Sommers the right man for the job? No matter who steps in, there is going to be some negative and positive reaction to the choice...ask Michael Bay. Sommers has proven he can make a fun popcorn flick, but he's also dropped a major ball with Van Helsing...only time and boxes of bullets will tell.
