JOE 2 official title and new member

[jaganar]

Yep, some strange, strange people have decided to 100% move forward with the sequel to the train-wreck that was Stephen Sommers’ GI JOE, which we have reported on before, but it’s definitely happening.

Just in case you are not caught up, Stephen Sommers has been replaced with Jon Chu, who is joined by the returning cast of Channing Tatum (Duke), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), the Korean superstar, Lee Byung-hun (Storm Shadow) and
​

a new cast member… Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. The wrestler turned actor will be the popular cartoon/toy character, Roadblock.
The film has also official been titled GI JOE: COBRA STRIKES.​

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
honestly im glad to hear this , ill still take NO Marlon Wayans or Christopher Eccleston as a bad sign though .
the rock is a great actor (yes including his WWF gig) altho his SCORPION KING needs a rewrite , with a recast to make it a lot darker , because i wasnt impressed with his villan >_< IMO.


FYI , Commander was exactly the way he should be in real life, " mess with me and ill ___k YOU UP ! !" because you never saw how far he was willing to go until he played his hand ( presidential position/brainwashing cardboard-actiin Miller) .. just look at him in THE A-TEAM ...er . . i mean RENEGADES.t:



hopefully the script will be written by someone who KNOWS how to write ... IE : CASINO ROYALE .

The first one was an absolute mess, so lets hope this one is better.

 

[psylockolussus]

I hate that most of the cast are in the sequel

G.I Joe wasn't that bad compare to Wolverine/Transformers 2

Not much change there, what with 90% of the original cast being cut, the Director being downgraded to a Disney-Channel reject, and the producer considering resigning because he is so pissed with how Paramount is treating the franchise (especially getting the Justin Bieber movie's director to make it instead of a serious director).

could be worse Tim,
we could have that little [every curseword known to man and klingon ] bieber as storm shadow. or cobra commander . then we would knw the apocalypse is neigh .
or maybe the GOD above will make Bieber the equivelant of a Redshirt an die in the first 15 minutes.

like i said MARLON and CHRIS are my only excuse to own a copy ... lets not even get me started on that flatchested ***ch that they cast as the black bombshell .

lord knows the direction they are going with is probably GI JOE : twilight edition ... i pray to THANOS that this aint the case.

**** Di Bonaventura. He's just another jack-off producer who's made some great films. I've heard lots of stories about him from over the years, and I say that under normal circumstances his departure could only be a good thing. He only produced GI Joe because Transformers made a mint and he wanted in on another toy movie franchise without so many other producers to share the gross with.

 

[jaganar]

like i said . without chris and marolon its over.

the Director's last film stared THIS

Spoiler

... so i have less faith in seeing a great movie. if John Woo's Career wasnt over id say lets petition him to be the director .

i honestly have no idea who Bonaventure is and im to lazy to wiki/imdb t:.

The pros: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Roadblock, RZA as Blind Master and Jessica from Supernatural as Lady Jaye.

The cons: The director.

Seriously, Chu could REALLY destroy the series and it was already mediocre because of Rise of Cobra.

But, on a writing standpoint, I say they begin the movie with a bang as in killing off the characters that won't return.

I say in the beginning of the film, a helicopter is on its way to land on the USS Flagg carrying Duke and Snake Eyes after a mission but what they don't know is that someone has entered the ship to release Cobra Commander and Destro and during that, destroys the ship(much like the destruction of Flagg in Resolute) and it kills Heavy Duty and Breaker, who were working on/upgrading the weapons, Ripcord and Scarlett who were about to leave themselves to go on their own mission and everyone thinks the explosion killed Duke and Snake Eyes as well, but Duke will be captured by the Commander, Destro and the one who destroyed the ship while saving those two(I wish it were Major Bludd). Snake Eyes then goes off to find Jinx while General Hawk, along with others(maybe bring back Stone and a newcomer...Falcon?) they decide to recruit while also dealing with Roadblock who's pissed as hell that his cousin is now dead. That could be a nice story of how Lady Jaye and Flint enter the film as well with them being new recruits, and then along the way, they find Cross-Country and whoever they decide to use in this film. And I wouldn't mind if Barronness dies as well.

Good cast.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

so is the Commander and Destro coming back? I've heard rumors that JGL didn't sign on for the new one.

 

[TheVileOne]

Isn't Tunnel Rat supposed to be Asian?

Levitt won't be in the movie and from the looks of things nor will Sienna Miller or Christopher Eccleston.

Cobra Commander on the other hand, who knows.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

Another actor could easily be Cobra Commander.

 

[TheVileOne]

Probably, JGL was miscast in the first place. Bad enough his name was Rex and he was ex-military.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Not surprised to see JGL not returning, the roles he is getting now he probably thinks himself beyond stuff like this, and who could blame him.

This movie doesnt sound as bad as it did a little while ago, but i'd still be surprised if it was any good, but who knows, I was surprised by how much the 1st one entertained me, maybe this will be the same. Glad that Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are back though as they were easily the best part of the first movie.

 

[Quasimod0]

How can you have a gi joe movie without baroness, CC, or destro?

 

[Golgo-13]

They dropped the ball HARD on the Baroness character, so she won't be missed.

 

[gkokujin]

Cobra Commander on the other hand, who knows.

Tunnerl Rat was originally Latino

 

[TheVileOne]

I thought Tunnel Rat was based off Larry Hama though?

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I hope they dont completely ignore the first movie, I know they are using some of the same characters but there were some pretty important story elements from the first movie that shouldnt be ignored. The Baroness and CC should at least be mentioned.
