G. I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra Trailer

May 1st, 2009

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming G. I. Joe film in theaters August 7th:

If it weren’t for the new “accelerator suits” the Joes are sporting and Cobra Commander’s radically different appearance, I’d probably be pretty satisfied with the results. 

(And don’t worry, you didn’t miss anything; Cobra Commander isn’t shown in the newest trailer.  You can check out the new look of the Joe team’s archnemesis in my previous post).

It seems as though Stephen Sommers and company aren’t taking things too, too seriously, and I love the insanely over-the-top plot to destroy the world’s greatest landmarks - a classic Cobra scheme that could have come straight from the old 80s cartoon.

I’m still undecided about seeing this one in theaters.  What do you folks think?

Looking good so far…

I really hope the look of the rest of the Joes ends up being as faithful to the source material.

To see what I mean, click here to view my earlier post with a sweet pic that shows just how close the movie Snake Eyes’ costume design comes to the actual look of the character.

And really, how sweet would it be if the live-action Cobra Commander ends up looking something like this?

February 16th, 2008

So Channing Tatum has been cast in the role of G.I. Joe team leader Duke in the upcoming big budget adaptation of the popular 80s toyline/cartoon.

(Actually, rumor has it Duke may not even be team leader in this version.  Sigh.)

Yes, Channing Tatum, the guy from Step Up.
