Any how The movie sounds good so far, I can't wait until some pictures get released.

| | Cobra Soldier Join Date: Apr 2007 Posts: 23 | Why is The Pit based out of Egypt? I understand you need a forward deployable base, but that strikes me as a bit odd and a fire starter over in the M.E. I can think of several other locations, American Samoa, Micronesia or Diego Garcia for that matter. |

So accept that and enjoy what we will get or just don't read anymore about the movie. Quote: |

In due time we will find that out.

I am fine with it being outside of the states.. They are an international organization whose primarily out of the United States doesn't mean that their base of operations has to be here.

If they are an "International" organization then they are clearly not G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero. Like i stated before, wait and see it will become a huge controversy that the joes are operating out of the M.E., and I don't mean by fans of joe. I'm talking about the muslim brotherhood and their ilk.
This should be titled G I FAUX. | |

My ideal scenario is if they make sequels, to follow teams of other characters, who are working in different parts of the world and on different fronts. There's so many great characters out there that people want in this film like Flint or Lady Jaye. I also think they can make the threat so big that there are many things going on around the globe to incite chaos. Cobra always did seem to be able to multitask in developing schemes and technology. | |

| Believe it or not, the "Power Suits" are based in reality, not Sigma 6.

I think you're reaching a little bit. Having a base set up by an international organization through diplomacy, in an African nation isn't a controversy. I mean was it a controversy that Transformers started in Qatar? Which is in the heart of the muslim world.

Gonna be a lot of Stephen Sommers leaning on the CGI in this I can already tell. I just hope it isn't a g.i. joe flavored Van Helsing we're getting here?!

They're likely a story development piece and a showcase for the FX, and not a core component of the movie itself.
