GIJoe Movie In The Works — Sour Details Revealed, Unfortunately
Thanks to the incredible success of the Transformers movie, Hasbro has green-lighted the production of the live-action GIJoe movie, scheduled for release in 2009. Stephen Sommers is set to direct a cast of approximately 30 core GIJoe & Cobra characters in the movie. Unfortunately, Hollywood has de-constructed everything that makes GIJoe wholesome, and the abbreviated name now stands for “Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity.” In the movie, GIJoe is an international force of operatives based out of Brussels, that work together to defeat the evil Cobra organization led by the Scottish arms dealer, Destro. There is no word on whether or not Cobra Commander will make a cameo appearance in the film or not.
Many GIJoe fans are completely outraged by the development choices in the film. “This idea of Destro being in charge is an abomination,” said Pit_Viper via TNI. “If I were in charge of Hasbro, the second a writer came to me with a script in which anybody other than Cobra Commander is the main bad guy they would of fall through a trap door into a pit of pirannahs. I mean having Cobra Commander being the head of Cobra is a non-brainer. You don’t have to be a Joe nerd like us to complain about this either. Everyone that knows anything about G.I. Joe is going to be bitching. Cobra Commander has made appearnces on Family Guy and Robot Chicken. He’s a pop culture icon. Having him playing second fiddle to Destro is crap.”
Hollywood bastardizes this stuff all the time. A dirty Internet rumor is also claiming that Will Smith will play the roll of Duke.

I am a member of the united states marine corps. I am pissed that GIJOE has been change from American Heros to a bunch of rejects in brussels pretending to be heros. If this movie gose on to in this Fashion. It will be the biggest slap in the Face to all american troops every where. GIJOE stands for American Heros Government Issue Joes. A man who won the medal of Honor. I will not be seeing this movie ever. I hope you wont out of protest.
I really agree that Hasbro’s been stepping out of boundry on this one but they recently posted a new press release showing that not all changes are legit. Check it out here:
