GI Joe Movie News

So they are finally making a GI Joe Movie, and Larry Hamma is involved. Thank god!
Here is an interview with the GI Joe movie producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. He keeps referencing the Transformers movie in respects to how they are approaching the GI Joe film and I don't like it. I didn't really like the Transformers movie, and I'm am worried that the Joe film will receive the same treatment. One of the things I do like is the casting of Ray Park as Snake Eyes! Now if they don't screw up his character it'll be sweet. I would love nothing more then to see the first issue of GI Joe done as a live action movie. I'm am pissed that I haven't heard them talk about the characters of Stalker, Clutch, or Rock "N Roll who were a few of the core members of the original team. Instead we have Ripcord, a later Joe from when the Joe story started to suck. AND... No Road Block. Instead another later period Joe named Heavy Duty. Lame. Today this guy was named as the actor who be playing Destro. God I hope they get this right. I guess only time will tell if this film turns out good or not. At the end of the day I have to have some faith since Hamma is on board. Please Larry, don't let the Hollywood fuckheads ass rape my childhood memories anymore.
On a more sour note, Devil's Due lost the G.I. Joe Comic Book License. I call bullshit on that. The group over at Devil Due brought GI Joe back from the dead and made it cool again. They even hired Larry Hamma to come and write from them. The hacks at Hasbro decided not to renew their contract and now it's either going to Marvel or IDW. Word over at IESB.net is that IDW will score the title since they already have the Transformers. At least IDW kept it real when they crafted their stories. I can't stand the designs of the robots in the movie.
