He would be the best director the series has had by far. A James Bond director is a fitting choice since G.I. Joe of the '80s was inspired by Bond in some big ways. Even Green Lantern was better than the Joe movies we got. Campbell is 71 years old though, so this was a guy who was already too old to play with the original G.I. Joe doll when it debuted. He isn't likely to have any built-in understanding of how the franchise was handled in the '80s, so he's likely to just run with his own take on it, which was part of the problem with the movies so far. A pure military or spy thriller G.I. Joe movie isn't faithful to ARAH, with all its sci-fi elements. And that kind of serious movie doesn't sell toys...kids don't buy James Bond and Mission: Impossible toys. I also don't envy any director trying to make a part 3 fit with the 2 lousy movies that came before.
Will GIJOE 3 stay true to the vision? there was a trilogy in mind after all. if I recall correctly there was a Toyfare article that outlined ROC almost to a tee. I am sure a basic plot was hatched for all 3 films. Not a script, a plot. A thread.
Sommers wanted to do
his
idea of a Bond film and made a mess.
Chu had to try and fix that mess and inthe process made some gains but was still not quite there for some fans. I liked Casino Royale liked Goldeneye even better it is the only Bond film I have on DVD. Meh on Green Lantern.
If Campbell can pull off a more military film all the better.
Also if this is going to go the espionage route, you can bring in Chuckles, and Mainframe, bring back the Baroness, and of course Scarlett. You could introduce Agent Faces and the biggest spies of all, the Crimson Guards. A plot involving clandestine ops by Crimson Guards in this modern terrorism laden society we have would be extremely topical. Send the Joes best spies, in to ferret out the various Crimson Guards plans. Then Roadblock, Snake Eyes and the rest attack each cel.
