Pittsburgh Joe since 1982

I also have the script. Read it and can confirm that SE-JOE NINJA is on the money with his observations regarding that draft. Hopefully, Hama is altering it, or has thrown out most of it. I too think this movie is pretty anti climactic. Paramount says this is a beginnings story. Sure but begin it with a bang not a whimper. I think this pales in comparison to any Joe related story already in existence. SE being French is silly and I have nothing against the French. Zartan cracks his knuckles and has a tick. Scarlett has the personality of a dead fish. No flint. Duke and Baroness relationship is as pedestrian as they come. Soldiers wearing super suits. But hey, they're releasing a live action JOE movie so I'll be there because that has been the only movie I've wanted to see since I got my first Joe in 82'. The cartoon was cool but I wanted something as epic as the original Star Wars. Real Joe, real action.
On another note, this story would be better suited for TV. Maybe one live action movie and a kick ass TV series. Battlestar meets 24 meets Lost meets the Unit meets V, meets... That would rule. Yo Joe!!! Paco |

This is my first post here, i'm living in France and i can assure you French people are not "anti-américain". Some are confused by medias (the poor-minded), the others are watching your country with respect; myself with great respect.
Concerning a french Snake-eyes, i also think it's a lame idea. But in the past Mr Hama referred sometimes to European countries (Scotland for Scarlett, may be France for Zartan) in GI Joe. I'm confident in Mr Hama, his choices will surely be soon explained. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but i meant the French as in French Government. And secondly, Amaury Sanderson was American, i believe, as well. Snake-Eyes was American, and i believe Storm Shadow was Japanese-American, born here. Hollywood is anti-American, that is a fact nobody can deny. |

Definitely going to see it. I've been collecting Joe since 1982 when I got my first Joe, Rock N' Roll. Those were the days. You could roll into a department store and find rows and rows of Joe. I saved everything Joe I ever had and still collect. Some call me Joe obsessed. But, I still think Paramount is F-ing up. Joe could be epic. The script we read is mediocre at best but most of Hollywood is mediocre at best. The Marvel run is written better. The current WWWIII run is written better. Hell, most of the comics under the Joe title crush Beattie's attempt at writing this screenplay. Still, with Hama on board, I still hold out hope for the best.

True, and here's hoping that Hama fixes it. But, as far as the movie goer will know, SE does not have a nationality unless his accent gives it away, as SS calls him French, while Hard Master says he isnt... In what actually, looking at the script, kinda seems... Biggoted...
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND, THIS SCRIPT, IT'S REVIEW AND THE THINGS BEING DISCUSSED ARE NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY CHANGES MADE TO THE SCRIPT BY LARRY HAMA OR ANY REWRITES. Also, America RULEZ!!! |

The big question is whether this is one of the final scripts or not. It has changed quite a lot these past few years.

For the record.
Me English Me no hate Americans (or America) The storyline snippets revealed here sound okay to me to be honest. Not really a reason to 'get out' that I can see.. Things like dialogue will probably be being polished until quite late in the day.
