Hey guys, I'm a member over at AICN (Ain't it cool news) and I just caught wind of this. This comes from a rather credible poster.
Stephen Sommers has been heard screaming "Yo Joe!" - Yup, he's directing the G.I. JOE film at Paramount! Hey folks, Harry here... As soon as that Marvel/G.I.Joe cartoon and Comic book series hit, I was a fan. I loved the figures - midget kin to the classic Joes I inherited from my father - but infinitely cooler in design. I loved the look and feel of this bastard relative of Nick Fury's S.H.I.E.L.D. - but the look worked and COBRA was even cooler. My friends and I played for hours with these toys - and loved the cartoon and the comic... For weeks now, I've heard rumors that Stephen "MUMMY" Sommers was helming G.I.JOE. Then I heard there was some problems with the deal they were putting together and that it looked like Sommers wasn't going to be screaming, "Yo Joe!," any time soon. But with the impending strike coming up - and the success of TRANSFORMERS - it looks like Paramount has locked and loaded this project for a quick start. Now - I'm not a Stephen Sommers hater, I disliked THE MUMMY, but oddly loved MUMMY RETURNS and VAN HELSING - and I accept all the shit I take for liking those films - but it's because of the After School Cartoon Glee that Sommers infuses into his films. No real weight - light and floaty. Which, for this version of G.I.JOE - isn't necessarily that far off. The problem I hear is that the script is totally fucking awful. That it doesn't really capture the G.I.JOE UNIVERSE - and it is a universe that you have got to be telling here. A world of fantastic high tech wonders - of specialization units for every sort of sub-mission you could imagine. And the bad guys... they're everybit as organized - but under no circumstances should this be a story of a few men on a mission. This is about the GI JOE organization versus the COBRA bastards. And you have to base the visual design on these characters. I'm a little terrified that this film is being rushed into the pipeline - I hope it works out - but I fear the worst. AS DO I MY FRIENDS....AS DO I! |

Stephen Sommers to direct 'G.I. Joe'
Paramount sets summer 2009 release date By MICHAEL FLEMING Talk Back - post a comment Stephen Sommers Sommers Paramount Pictures has set Stephen Sommers to direct "G.I. Joe," the live-action feature based on Hasbro's line of action figures. The studio is hiring a writer immediately, and has set a February production start for a summer 2009 release. The accelerated production schedule began right after Sommers pitched his version of the film to Par chairman-CEO Brad Grey and production prexy Brad Weston on Wednesday evening. He was hired in the room. Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce with Hasbro chief operating officer Brian Goldner. Sommers and his Sommers Co. partner Bob Ducsay will also be involved as producers. While "G.I. Joe" served several futile tours of duty as a movie property, its momentum has been helped by "Transformers," the movie transfer of another Hasbro brand. That di Bonaventura-produced film has grossed $667 million worldwide for studio partners DreamWorks and Paramount. Hasbro's Goldner said that the mythology of G.I Joe was fleshed out during the 1980s through 155 issues of Marvel Comics, as well as an animated TV series. There are about 30 core characters, good and evil, that can be exploited in films. "Marrying Steve's vision with 25 years of this brand mythology feels like a great way to go forward," Goldner said. While some remember the character from its gung-ho fighting man '60s incarnation, he's evolved. G.I. Joe is now a Brussels-based outfit that stands for Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, an international co-ed force of operatives who use hi-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil organization headed by a double-crossing Scottish arms dealer. The property is closer in tone to "X-Men" and James Bond than a war film. "Our vision (for "The Mummy") was clear the time the first trailer played during the Super Bowl, and by the time this one plays a Super Bowl, you'll see the coolest characters and visuals you can imagine, and beyond-state-of-the-art equipment," Sommers said. "I wouldn't have jumped into this just because of the Hasbro-Transformers tie. Remember, 'Pirates of the Caribbean was a big hit, but 'Haunted Mansion' not so much." Di Bonaventura said the film has some of the elements that made "Transformers" work as a film. "My experience with beloved properties is that characters, attitude and tone are even more important than plot," di Bonaventura said. "Paramount showed a great deal of confidence in Stephen's take, and our ability as producers to get this up and running for a February start. His passion for the characters and the world convinced the studio this was something they couldn't resist." WMA plugged its client Sommers into Hasbro, which left CAA to become a WMA client earlier this summer. Sommers haunted Hasbro's Pawtucket headquarters to steep himself in the lore. WMA is also helping Hasbro with possible movies based on such properties as the board games "Monopoly" and "Battleship."

I'm happy that they will attempt a movie at all. I don't think it will be as bad as everyone thinks. Even if the execs are jumping on this as part of the Transformers bandwagon, it could turn out to be something good.

I know in another post I said I'd try blind faith, I think I'll try partial eyes open faith Thinking about it yeah, Transformers wound up being good, but execs jumping on the bandwagon of "hey it's a Hasbro property, Transformers did good this will too!" could be bad lets think of the comic movies that came out after X-men, Daredevil (I like it but it didn't do too well) Catwoman (I wasted 5 minutes of my life channel surfing and stopping on this movie) Hulk (I watched it twice just to give it the benefit of the doubt....still hate it) As it is, I'm seeing a 50/50 chance it'll be bad, it could be the next Catwoman, or it could wind up being the next Spider-man |
