All the talk about Snakes-Scarlett-Ripcord is getting old, so let's see if we can shift the focus of debate for at least a couple of minutes (???).
As is, the Beattie script is titled "Dark Sky: First Strike", which probably is just "camouflage" ;). I mean, the Transformers script was also titled "Prime Directive" instead of "Transformers", if I remember correctly.
Still... even if "Dark Sky: First Strike" will not be part of the film's title at all, I'll ask:
Would you just call the film "G.I.Joe"? Would you call it "G.I.Joe - The Movie"? (ugh) or would you be open to something like "G.I.Joe - Dark Sky: First Strike"?
Personally, I'm all for the last option. I like extended titles like that. I HATE (HATEHATEHATEHATE) when they name sequels like they did with Spiderman, for instance: Spiderman, Spiderman 2, Spiderman 3. OH FOR PETE'S SAKE, that's so... uncivilized.
Now they are calling the new Hulk flick "The Incredible Hulk" (mainly because it is a reboot of sorts, but it still stands as a good example on how to name a sequel without the "2"). The new Punisher flick, also a reboot of sorts, will be called "Punisher: War Zone", if memory fails me not. The new Batman flick?: The Dark Knight ("Batman" nowhere to be seen, wow!). The next Superman flick, if it ever sees the light, is probably going to be called "The Man of Steel". Also, back in the day, there were rumors that Spiderman 2 would be titled "The Amazing Spiderman" and that Spiderman 3 would be "Spectacular Spiderman". That woulda been more fun.
Other examples of interesting titles are the Star Wars and Indy films:
Star Wars - Episode X: blahblahblah
Indiana Jones and the...
Or the James Bond films.
SO... you get the idea. Would you like the Joe flicks to have extended titles like that? It sounds more... "military" to me (?). As if we were saying: "Operation Desert Storm"?
Maybe the sequel could have a second title along of the lines of "Rise of Cobra" (cliché... but it works). "G.I.Joe: Rise of Cobra". But if the first flick is to be called "G.I.Joe - Dark Sky: First Strike", perhaps the second one should keep that "Tom Clancy-ness" intact and have the extended title be more, uhm, "cryptic".
