This move is perplexing to me, but I think it makes sense if the truth about the screenings is correct and the tanking of Battleship was behind it. It seems like all the buzz they created is now gone and I don't know if it will have the same weight by next year. Kinda like stopping a train halfway uphill. Takes of lot of energy to get it going again...
Collectors and Joe enthusiasts are a mere pittance when considering the standard movie-going audience. They have attract more than just die-hard Joe fans if they want to break even. But still, this seems like Paramount trolling on an epic scale. And the reason Bruce Willis is in it is because he is a bonafide action hero. He has the pedigree. Why do you think they have to drag out Stallone and Schwarzenegger every few years? Look around. How many REAL action stars are there? Not many who don't cry about killing people and emote that through their character. Hell, Channing Tatum actually said he was reluctant to be in GI Joe because he is against war glorification. Whaaaaat? I'll still go see it in March. But I'm really sad with the way the Live action GI Joe movies are going. Still think GI Joe should have been totally retro 80's, set during the Cold War, all of the Joes are Vietnam vets, and with all the 80's tech. Going retro worked for Modern Warefare: Black Ops. I don't know. I'm still not happy about it.
