If there are any less than 30 Joes in this film, I'm calling bullshit.

Depends. Was it their original vision or were they simply writers for hire?

We'll need to wait 'til after this movie bombs to hear the "real" story.

I hope CC got to benefit from the reshoot. Because, from what I've read,
Spoiler:
CC looks/talks like the CC from the comics but acts like the CC from the 80's cartoon.

That's disappointing since the Rock claimed he got to fight CC and that turned out to be bullshit since CC turns and runs the second Roadblock stars his second fight against Firefly.

Original writers, but probably for hire since this is a Hasbro franchise... I.E. "We need to jam these new toys into the film to sell." (Just look at the glory of Battleship)

When I said "original vision" I meant that the script was their baby and something they wrote as fans of the material. Of course, as you mention, they were likely just hired guns on this project.

Re: G.I.Joe 2 Coming

I can't see the video at work for some reason. I guess I'll have to wait 'til I get home.

Is it any different from the previous trailers or mostly the same old footage?

IIRC there is some new footage. Also a concerted effort to show Tatum throughout the trailer, not just at the start.

Trailer didn't add much to excite. I'll see it but that excitedness is long gone. I do hope it's pretty awesome.

Re: G.I.Joe 2 Coming

Finally saw the new trailer. Color me unimpressed. It's still obvious that the Tatum only appears during the beginning of the movie (even if they probably don't kill him now given the coda that was shot, unless it's a flashback), I bet you Bruce Willis still only gets 10 minutes of total screentime, and the trailer was overall meh.

At least you get a peak at Arnold Vosloo.
Spoiler:
Hopefully that means he duels to the death with Lee Byun Hung (instead of Jonathan Pryce as some test audience members had reported).

Rap music killed any potential buzz I could get from the new trailer.

Per Dolby's site, this film will feature 7.1 audio in theaters. That's a plus. The BD should as well.

Awaiting announcement that this film will be re-delayed to add Dolby Atmos.

Marlon Wayans Is Glad To Be Out Written Out Of GI Joe


Ricardo Hazell of AllHipHop.com recently talked to Marlon Wayans about his new movie Haunted House. During their talk, the Rise Of Cobra came up. Interestingly enough, Wayans had this to say(WARNING: Though this has been rumored for a while and maybe Wayans is joking or maybe not, the following could be considered a possible spoiler):

Spoiler:
“I’m not in it. Rip Cord steps on a landmine. They blew his black ass up,” said Wayans in a half joking manner. “The last one they realized the black guy was the hero of the movie. So, they said ‘You know what? We’re going to do the sequel just so we can fix that. Let’s kill the black guy’.”


In addition, Wayans is glad to have been written out out of the movie:

“I always say to people that there are lessons and blessings,” he explained. “It’s one of the greatest blessings ever for me to be written out of that franchise because it gives me a chance to be creative. I hold my head up. I don’t sulk. I put my head down and made my first movie. I obviously had a ball making it, and this is like my coming out party. This is my ‘Control’ album. Hopefully it’s not that bad album Janet put out there.”

Last month we learned that his partner in crime from the Rise Of Cobra, Channing Tatum, also wanted to be written off in the movie.

Things I am OK with

Re: G.I.Joe 2 Coming

The only Joe characters I actually liked were Snake Eyes and Scarlett, though she could have been written better. Those two at least took your attention w/ their presence. Everyone else were just weakly written and/or not acted well.

Re: G.I.Joe 2 Coming

Wayans sounds like a bitter douche. Yeah, spending a couple of months on a GI Joe movie and making tons of cash really prevents you from "being creative" the other 10 months out of the year. You weren't "creative" before GI Joe, so what has changed now? and as it turns out, your new creative outlet is simply more of the same parody horror bullshit you've been doing for a decade? Shut the fuck up, you no talent, sour grapes eating cocksucker.

He's actually a talented actor. Watch Requiem for a Dream. Beyond that, I don't see quality work.

Your quote makes me giggle simply because of your name.

Re: G.I.Joe 2 Coming

I didn't really have a problem with Wayans in the first film. He wasn't nearly as annoying as he can be. I'm glad he's now free from the series so he can get to work on the White Chicks sequel everyone is clamoring for.
