GI Joe Official Movie Publicity Photos - LARGE PICS!

Yes, I'm not talking about that. Your reference is to Duke and Ripcord joining the team and in part at least that follows the 80's comic as they were not original members.

What stands out most from the TOYFARE article is the answer Ed Verreaux (production designer) gives to the all important question Were you familiar with the Joe mythology?

Very little. What I usually do is, I'll go to my local comic book store and say, "Give me everything you have on this subject." I also went online. There are a lot of G.I.Joe sites. It's really, really popular.

Glad it's not people making decisions who actually grew up playing with the toys, reading the comic books, watching the Saturday morning cartoon-- Glad it's decision makers who researched over a weekend.

I guess it would depend on which they based it on, the comics or the movie. I was guessing that with the characters and the way the story's framing up, it was the latter, but if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. The thing that bugged me the most about that interview though, was the fact that he said he based his ideas for G.I. Joe off of... video games?! WTF?!?!?!

Everything about both those interviews screamed that this re-imagining is going to be

He must be collaborating with Jaden Smith and his lil' Karate Kid remake. They're conspiring to rape our fond memories of the '80s with video game moves!!!

Thank you hollywood, for taking one of my best childhood memories and crapping all over it. Seriously how sad will is it that this is the GI Joe that our kids are going to know.

Yeah, and here I had high hopes that it would've dispelled a fair amount of the negative buzz surrounding the picture and give it a glimmer of hope. If all else fails, there's always Resolute, which from the trailer, looks to kick some serious ass....fingers crossed.

Don't worry, I'm sure it will be forgotten as quickly as the live-action He-Man and Street Fighter flicks.

Critically, yes. But the problem is that this is a big-budget Summer tentpole flick, and neither of those were. This will likely be as big as TRANSFORMERS on some levels. And while that movie kinda sucks too, it'll probably be a work of genius in comparison to this clunker.

Okay let me rephrase that. "Don't worry I'm sure it will be forgotten as quickly as Deep Rising."

 

[EVILFACE]

I dont think this will be anywhere near as sucessful as Transformers was.

So where's the trailer already?

 

[thenammagazine]

At the rate this is going, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was suddenly announced that, "In an effort to enhance the quality of the production, Stephen Sommers was let go in favor of Uwe Boll."

 

[EVILFACE]

Looks like some HALO bs.

Considering where the military is heading in terms of armor advancement, these costumes are not totally off the mark...

Looks to me like that is what they were aiming for. No, it's not distinctive GI Joe, but this was around before Dark Knight so I think we can give THAT gripe a rest. Joe was always bringing theoretical and new military designs into the toys (stealth bomber), I see this as the same sort of thing.
Yeah, everyone wearing black on both sides may be confusing, but would we rather have day-glo orange Alley Vipers? At any rate, I am holding out judgement until the trailer airs this weekend...

 

[IrishJedi]

Horrible.

There is just no other word.

 

[MANDO]

That's funny...I don't see the words "Simga Six" anywhere on that poster. They must've left it off by accident.

So basically this movie is based on the new GI Joe comics and Sigma Six since most of the old stuff might not have been available?
What a dip ****.
No wonder the designs look terrible, they guy didn't have a F* clue.
The more I hear, the worse this gets. I'm not looking forward to this at all.

Not to discredit anything here, but most of the military prototype suits nowadays are black. The "Future Warrior" system, the "live-feed camoflage" system as well as this are all black. By the time it's implemented, if ever, I can guarantee it'll be camouflaged.

New posters as shown at AICN... Black is back baby.
