They might have if GI Joe wasn't completely absent from about 75% of the US retail market, completely NON-existent in the international and emerging markets, and is skirting the dust bin of toy history.
I mean seriously, does it surprise anyone that GI Joe is NOT a top 7 franchise? We can't even get a mass retail toy line, much less the wide range of varied products Hasbro's other top tier lines push. Given the marketing mishaps and poor retail performance of the brand the last 5 years, Hasbro is probably going to have to approach GI Joe as a completely new property at this stage. I view it as a good sign that GI Joe is still being talked about in terms of the movie series, even though it wasn't mentioned in relation to Allspark Pictures. I'm rather curious to see how that plays out: if Allspark's first theatrical films (MLP and Jem) are successful, and if Joe 3 sees the continued middling performance, we might see Hasbro take over the reigns in a potential reboot.

That may help, pretty much any move in that regard could only help

The article said we were in for a treat icludimg gijoe and if all sparks is taking over live action, I can only assume that means thr next Joe movie unless that's canned and hasbro focuses on a new cartoon. Hopefully splitting up responsibilities will better define how hasbro treats the Joe line.

The first films being produced by Allspark Pictures are Jem and the Holograms and My Little Pony.

I see tremendous potential here for AllSpark Pictures to be a spring board for Joe product.
In that regard, I would like to see a animated Renegades movie either as a recap of the first season condensed into movie and leading into a second television season or a movie as a follow up and conclusion for the existing television season. Then, I need more figures and vehicles to coincide with it. |

Then, I need more figures and vehicles to coincide with it. If the third movie follows the idea of a trilogy's original script/plot then any other media should be based on the movie franchise. Leave the past in the past. ME has pretty much milked ARAH for everything it is worth. That is other than the things collectors drool over and the club is taking up that mantle fairly nicely even if expensively. Get some consistency in the line. Have the same thing all across the board. Then if the third movie bombs, wait a bit and start anew. Let this new entertainment division of Hasbro be as creative as heck and not chained to past stories and characters. As well loved and cherished as those stories may be.

Allspark Pictures is going to have to be careful not to step on Paramounts Toes.
But it can only be a good thing that Hasbro is getting big enough to have their own studio let alone a film label. How vaguely marvel of them. Given Hasbros relationship with IDW I would like to see more creatives being able to create media within Hasbro than how paramount has been running things.

If Hasbro is still talking about Gi Joe, then that is a good thing. Is this earth shattering fantastic news? No, but a little focus is better than nothing.
