GI Joe Live Action Film

1. Hey Jason, I was surf­ing the net, look­ing to sat­is­fy my inner geek­dom and I came across your blog. My inner geek­dom is GIJOE. I have been dream­ing of a live action movie since god talked to moses. Any­way, I read the script attatched to your link. It is hor­ri­ble. Very depress­ing. I think it may take them a while to release it if that script was the best they could do.

   I total­ly agree that in our age of ter­ror and fear, a GI JOE flick would be… well per­fect. Espe­cial­ly con­sid­er­ing the fact that Cobra Com­man­der was not a snake dude but a man, an amer­i­can man, dis­en­fran­chised, aver­age mid­dle-class amer­i­can who became para­noid, obsessed with pow­er and world dom­i­na­tion through ter­ror­ism. Oh my god, I am such a geek but if the right writer and direc­tor got behind it…holy poop would it be hot. Ok. Let me pull myself away from this geek­i­ness and get back to writ­ing my screenplay…wait can­cel that…I am actu­al­ly writ­ing my GIJOE script write now. 

   Great pic­tures on your blog… I need to get into this blog­ging thing.

   Be well

2. Hey. So accord­ing to the Mid­town Comics newslet­ter I got today, a GI Joe movie is in the works. Marky Mark him­self is being con­sid­ered for the role of Duke, and the sto­ry is going to be about the rise of Cobra. Of course this is all just ear­ly rumors. Thought I’d share.

3. Just came across this blog post from August say­ing Stephen Som­mers (“The Mum­my,” “Van Hels­ing”) has been hired by Para­mount to direct “G.I. Joe.” IMDb agrees. I’m cau­tious­ly opti­mistic about the plot sum­ma­ry there.
