Make no mistakes about it, Larry Hama was brought in to fix this mess. Otherwise why wouldn't he have been on board the whole time? I just hope that he is enough to steer this thing in the right direction?

I guess all of those calls to Rhode Island paid off, Hasbro at lasts listens to the fans and brings in the "Brains" of the Whole Joe/Cobra mythos!

Larry Hama isn't going to be able to recast this movie or do major script changes since he's onboard as a creative consultant only. He certainly brings some credibility to this project, but I would hardly call him a savior at this point. There are too many producers and studio execs that can easily veto any ideas that he might have that they themselves may not agree with. Making a movie is full or tug-of-war issues between directors, producers, writers and studio execs......political BS has ruined movies before. I sure as hell hope this movie end up being half-way decent, and this news of Hama joining the credits helps. But he alone isn't enough to make this a winner just yet. The script, the directing and the characters have all got to be good in order for this movie to achieve cinematic satisfaction for me.
As for the strike, it's been a damning experience in the industry (I happen to work in post), but the end is in sight and the rumour buzz going around right now is that it will be over by the end of next week (hopefully, even sooner). Also, don't forget that SAG has to have a new contract by June (let's all cross our fingers on that deal happening smoothly and quickly).

Also, don't forget that SAG has to have a new contract by June (let's all cross our fingers on that deal happening smoothly and quickly). A lot of people made a lot of noise about this man. More people in Hasbro and the comics industry in general are aware of him than ever before. Additionally, Hasbro learned a LOT more about their own role in the creative process and how this process can influence a the film and toyline (Megatron's head). Hasbro now fully understand what their sphere of influence is and that fan input on a film like this can be (in the eyes of the director) marginally relevant at best. If they have their own personal representative in the form of the creator of the characters, that not only lends validity with the fans but it also gives it a certain mark of distinction. G.I. Joe as written by Hama has several truly classic comic moments in it. Worthy of Frank Miller or Alan Moore. Comics in general as a form of art and literature suffer from a grotesque stigma, but comics based on toys bear an even greater prejudice, set apart as "kiddie books." We may even see the entire silent issue as 7 minutes of movie someday. The script may be screwy, and Hama may or may not be able to save it. He may simply save the characterizations. He may be told he's insane and put aside or ejected altogether. He may get two weeks to do rewrites after the strike and just make it rock. Whatever he does, I doubt he'll be mum about his feelings for it. Diplomatic but honest. I can't wait for the tell-all books in 15 years.

For ages 5 and up. Give the man a break. This is PG-13! They can even make the blood RED!
