The next question on every fanboy's lips is a simple one: Which characters in the enormous "Joe" universe will feature prominently in the sequel? First up are two beloved baddies that Beattie tried and failed to squeeze into "Rise of Cobra," but is determined to see on the screen: evil entrepreneurs Tomax and Xamot.
"I couldn't get them in there, and I really tried," Beattie revealed, saying he's a fan of the twin brothers who love fighting Joes as much as they do finishing each other's sentences. "Oh, God, I tried to get them." In addition to the Crimson Guard leaders, Beattie told us that he also hopes to supplement Cobra Commander's forces with Zartan's evil biker gang. "I tried to get the Dreadnoks in there too," he said. "I also [wanted] Wild Bill and Shipwreck, but there were so many [people in my early drafts] that at a certain point, you don't want the movie to be three hours, and you can't service that many. As it is, I think [in 'Rise of Cobra'] I'm servicing about 14 or 15 characters. "If we get to do two or three [movies]," Beattie said of his master plan, "we'll bring them in then." 'G.I.

i'd rather see the twins the way idw potrays them without the finishing of eachother's voices or feeling eachother's pain. the new cobra mini-series really showed new depths to these characters. i hope the screenwriter reads these masterful books.

Actually my first thought is "How are they gonna undo the crap from the first one. I'm not worried about more characters, give me a script that is halfway decent".

I don't think Beattie should be allowed to write another Joe movie. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the Rise of Cobra, but there were a few things that if left out would have made the movie so much better, such as the love triangles, or if Breaker would have just had his own gum in the first place. Aside from that, I don't think the Dreadnoks would work in the movie universe.

I'm being hypothetical of course because such activity comes across as rather childish to me, but it would be interesting to see how long it would take for you to get cheesed off and say "if you don't like RESOLUTE, stay out of related threads".

i dont think beattie did to badly,expectations for roc were way to high in my opinion but beattie could not have got it to wrong could he? as far as i know the movie has made 300 million worldwide! anyone seen collateral that was one of beatties earlier scripts, i dont think michael mann would have made the movie if he thought beatties script or script writing talents were not up to much. just my opinion.
