Slash Film was able to sit down for an interview with Jon Chu; the Director of G. I. Joe: Retaliation. Mr. Chu talked about the introduction of Joe Colton and reinventing Cobra Commander.

Question: I wanted to know, why should people who hated the first film give this sequel a chance?

Jon Chu: It’s crazy, because as polarizing as that first movie was, people still went and saw it and people still went and saw it over and over and the DVD sold like crazy, so…

Question: And then you made a sequel, so they must have made money.

Jon Chu: Exactly. And especially now like hearing the fans say what they want and don’t want and which characters they wish were coming back and which weren’t. I mean it seems like more people like it than people will admit, which is crazy. And we are not trying to compete with that movie, we are trying to make a different movie. To me, the GI JOE product means something very different than the filmmakers of the last movie. To me, GI JOE is this very personal thing. I grew up on GI JOES. I grew up playing GI JOES and so I have a very specific idea and it’s probably really different from people who first knew about GI JOE with the 12 inch action figure, but we really tried to bridge all of those mythologies with everything you know about Joe and put it into one. For instance, Joe Colton, one of the number one questions when I first signed on to the movie everyone would be like “Well who is playing Joe?” I’m like “What are you talking about? There is no “Joe.” Then I remembered Joe Colton and was like “That would be really awesome to give Joe a face and a personality and there’s only one iconic person that could ever play that and that would be Bruce [Willis].”

Read the entire interview at Slash Film.

Mind you, the associated thread contains SPOILERS. Step carefully.

It is the first time that a Hollywood film is being premiered in South Korea. This shows how big of a role Lee Byung Hun (Who portrays Storm Shadow) is playing in terms of promotions, and is a testimony to his world star status."

Director Jon Chu explained to Empire Magazine, the various scenes from the 2nd Theatrical Trailer for G. I. Joe: Retaliation which premiered last 24th of April.

While the article doesn’t reveal much, it does feature teensy bit of spoiler-ish material; which the Spoiler-Sensitive Moviegoer should avoid.

“I don’t want to give too much away about our homage [to the ‘Silent Issue’], or what Storm Shadow and Snake-Eyes are going up against or what’s going on in the scene. It’s not an entirely silent interlude but we decided to have an 11 minute fight scene with no dialogue. Did I think it would work? I don’t know, but we wanted to try it. It was one of our longest sequences to shoot - it spanned weeks. It was a very complex scene, but it was worth it because this is something that no-one’s seen before. We wanted to have at least one thing that no-one’s seen before, with a character that no-one would expect to see, in every action piece in the movie.”

Dwayne Johnson tweeted an image of him with Ray Park as Snake Eyes which may have taken while he was on set.

Because of Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis and Lee Byung-hun, G. I. Joe: Retaliation is getting a strong international recognition since all three movie stars are recognizable celebrities around the world, more than the cast of Rise of Cobra.

The Rock was having fun on the set maintaining a close friendship with G. I. Joe fans around the world with his unofficial movie set updates. Fans are yet to see G. I. Joe: Retaliation, but the journalists who had seen various snippets express positive reaction to the upcoming movie by Jon Chu.
