This Is How I'd Make The Movie!!

[SnAkEyEz]

JUST BORED & DECIDED TO MAKE THIS THREAD ON HOW I'D MAKE THE MOVIE.. iM GONNA KEEP IT REAL SHORT & SIMPLY..

MOVIE STARTS OFF with random terrorist acts around the world by a not well known group calling themselves Cobra... The arms dealer known as Destro is believed to be the main source of weaponry that this group is gettin supplied from.. The next we know it.. They get very powerful & have a full army backing them... Thats when GI Joe get s formed.. the get the best of the best military specialists & the original 13 are born... As far as Cobra Commander is concerned.. the whole movie he is in charge & making demands just like in the cartoons... Yet his origin & background are never told .. keep a mystery.. through out the movie.. there are different missions happening with different characters all over the world... for instance.. they could have a scene where Say Duke & Scarlett go to some counrty to investigate & run into Firefly & some Cobra troops.. big battle scene ensues .. or SnakeEyes goes on a mission & heads off with StormShadow.. There would be any big background storys to them.. maybe hints... but not really a big deal or any side plots happeneing .. I think the movie would be sooo much better if it turned out that way...

plus as far as uniforms go.. keep it 100 % like the originals.. just updated for today & look real as hell...

Just my simple take on what it could be.. Ill add a lil more later.. I hate typing

the jist of it sounds great to me...i am mostly alll for the origial costumes..i hate their new looks...too bad a true fan wasn't making this movie

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Sounds feasible and better than what Hollywood is making. I'm gonna post my "treatment" at some point.

There's a lot of speculation and no actual 'narrative' here. No beginning, middle, or end....movies tend to need to have those things.

[crock master]

they should just film the movie that is simulated from an actual cartoon. something like "pyramid of darkness" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkNmN7_HRWA

I definitely wouldn't want to see that, as I've never been that fond of the GI Joe cartoon. I read the comics first and just couldn't make the jump over to the toon.

[Loki41872]

Why couldn't they have just done an adaption of "Operation: Lady Doomsday"?

judging by how short the "idea" was, i'd say it was kind of a rough draft?...but you knew that, right?

Now that I could deal with. That was a great story and it did a good job introducing all the crucial characters. I mean, they could swap out some of the Joes for other Joes, but the story could remain untouched more or less.

And it wouldn't have taken a complete re-write of Joe history to insert Destro and Stormshadow into that story.

I always loved how it was an origin story for G.I. Joe, but Cobra was already going full-force. G.I. Joe was formed to deal with Cobra. Cobra needs no back-story.

^^ ya, kinda where I was going with it... I think that the whole mystery of Corba kept the interest at a high.. Also keeping the original 13 in the 1st movie would been the most logical.. & as the sequels continue .. more characters come into play.. As far as origins go for the each character .. maybe short mentions would be good , but not full blown stories.. that would sidetrack the whole movie... like this Stormshadow/Snakeeyes thing... even in the cartoon they never go into a full story about the 2, but yet you still know enough ...

[Onslaught Six]

Except for the part where the cartoon writers though SE was "limited" because he was mute, and made Storm Shadow fight frigging Quick Kick instead.

Y'know, I have the Issue 1 reprint over here. I've never read it. I think I'm going to. And I'll say if I think it'll fly.

i love it when people on the internet act like they can make movies better than actual film makers. whether you like the direction they're taking gi joe, they know what they're doing, you do not.

Why do you have to rain on their parade? They are just venting out the way they want to, by describing their idea for their perfect Joe movie.

Why is that an invitation to come in and chime in on what you think is typical internet behavior.

Are you writing a paper or something, is that why its so important that you come into a thread and speak your mind on the opinions of how one should act on the internet?

Do you look for threads just so you can belittle someone?

Im not trying to take cheap shots man, Im just calling it as Im seeing it.

Everyone has to start somewhere maybe he will be the next big screenwriter. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won an Oscar for writing, so strange things can happen.

When the movie comes out then we can judge if they knew what they were doing. Actual film makers f@$*ed up Batman & Robin or maybe the actual film makers took the day of and people on the internet made it :)
Now I know why Batman & Robin sucked so hard.

judging by how short the "idea" was, i'd say it was kind of a rough draft?...but you knew that, right?

writers write brief synopsis' of only a couple of paragraphs every day that cover entire plots, story exposition and characters, so length isn't important in doing so.

to not only write a movie but even simply outline a story, you have to understand story structure, character development, foreshadowing, and many other technical details. all movies essentially unfold the same way and aren't a random series of events. every event and character has to serve a meaningful purpose that advances the story. you can't just have Firefly pop up here just to show him, or these two characters battle there just because -- it all has to be relevant. if you can't briefly outline a story in few short paragraphs, you can't write a movie. the skills go hand in hand. that is what copywrite is saying, everyone seems to think they can write a better Joe movie, when they can't even not only write a better Joe outline but assemble an actual story idea. I'm not trying to insult anybody with that, that is just my opinion after having read numerous "what the Joe movie should be" threads over the years.

like Irid said, there isn't a movie here. not only that, there isn't even a story, so I am not sure what I am supposed to either like or dislike about it.

[SSGWeaver]

I agree, keep it faithful to the original! If not, then it's not a G.I. Joe movie!

[rikkuluverx2]

I really like that idea of this story (: sounds cool, and I like the idea about the joes spread around the world for different missions. I think the only concern about the new joe movie is that, I hope it dosent end up like the live action street fighter movie in 1994 or so...that movie was unforgiveable...

I agree 100%!

Yeah, you're right. Sorry.

They sure knew what they were doing with Godzilla, Streetfighter, Mario Brothers, Masters of the Universe, The Hulk (V. 1), X-Men 3, Spiderman 3, The Phantom Menace, ect...

We fans should just shut right up. We have NO IDEA how to handle a franchise turned into a movie.

Now the people that brought us Iron Man, yeah, they knew what they were doing. G.I. Joe? Not so much, I think.

[SnAkEyEz]

I bet a team of HissTank members could come up with a waaaay better concept.. !!

For every movie you name that went wrong, there are 5 that were successes.

Also, whether you liked X-Men 3, Spider-Man 3 or Phantom Menace, they were all successful movies.

I agree on your second point, you really do have NO IDEA how to handle a franchise turned into a movie. Just because you read the comics, collect the toys and merchandise, doesn't mean you know how to create a movie franchise.

Everyone has to start somewhere maybe he will be the next big screenwriter. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won an Oscar for writing, so strange things can happen.

SEE)
Difference is, Matt Damon and Ben Afflek were still actors before they created that script(which they got advice on from other screenwriters) so they at least had an idea of how a movie is supposed to be structured.

[SnAkEyEz]

^^ lol.. I wasn't trying to say how to create a franchise or a blockbuster movie.. Im just saying.. the shit that these hollywood guys come up with takes away from the true feeling of GI Joe.. I was just thinking of a rough idea of how a perfect adaption could be..

[Reznor]

Copywrite, you make valid points, as you do in most of the post of yours I read, which is why I choose not to get into an argument with ya, but tell me this, you keep talking to all these people about how they don't have the knowledge to pull this stuff off, so they shouldn't complain. What about the people who may know how to pull that kind of stuff off, but still may complain?

Im not claiming that there is even that around here or not, but it seems that you are so quick to knock someone down, that what if you end up talking to someone that does have valid points and a slight know-how of the 'bizz'? Are you going to just keep saying they don't know anything, or will you at least step back and see it as something other than "another know-it all net geek" and maybe participate in the conversation rather than attempt to end it?

you guys take this waay too seriously.. its just a discussion

Yes. A perfect place to start GIJOE.

Well if they do have knowledge, then I'll listen. But I can't take you seriously if you're just random poster #257 on the internet.

How about I just stay out of this one for now. :) Sorry if I upset anyone.

[SnAkEyEz]

I it turns out anything like any of the marvel movies I will be extremely happy!!
