NewMediaRockstars recently sat down for a chat with GI Joe Retaliation Director Jon Chu. While the bulk of the interview was about Justin Bieber and the various dance movies Chu has directed, GI Joe Retaliation was mentioned. Chu talked about how great it was to work with The Rock and how he envisioned Retaliation to be how he saw GI Joe while growing up playing with the figures.

In addition, Chu was asked about why the movie was delayed. Chu gives a detailed explanation in which he goes over why Paramount changed their minds and why he, personally, wanted more time to work on the movie after the decision was made to convert it to 3D:

NMR: What are the real reasons for why the release of “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” was delayed? Was it to reshoot Channing Tatum?

JMC: No. I mean, nobody really knows. It’s funny because nobody actually knows what happens to Channing Tatum in our movie yet, so it’s interesting to hear all the rumors of what they think happens or what they don’t think happens. But, no, our main thing was we have had discussions about turning the movie 3D since I first came onto the project, but we never made that choice because it would cost too much money or we would have to push our date. So in the beginning, there was always that discussion. The studio decided we don’t have that amount of money, so I was like, “If we are not going to do it right, then we shouldn’t do it,” and that went away. Then, about 6 months ago, it came back, and we could dimensionalize it, but then we have to push our date. We have to have enough time to do it right, and they are like, “Yeah, you’re right. We don’t have enough time, and it’s going to cost so much money.” Then, about 5 or 6 weeks before the movie comes out, 3D is doing really well overseas, obviously, and they come back one more time and say this is our last chance. We could do it, but we have to push the date, and we think that it’s worth putting the movie [in 3D], because it has a lot of 3D elements to it. We think it’s worth doing now. Was I frustrated? Yeah, because I wanted, I want the movie to come out the way we promised, but at the same time, I was like, “Listen, but if we’re going to do this though, we have to do it right. Please don’t short change me and have us come out in September, and then the 3D is going to be bad, and people are going to be pissed that we pushed it.” So, they agreed. They were like, “You’re right. We will give you enough time and money to do it right, because if we are going to do this, we are going to do it.” And so for that, I am grateful that they understand that we need to do it right, and we are going to deliver a great 3D movie, the ninja action, and obviously, Dwayne in 3D is going to be really, really awesome — an experience unlike anything before, and we get the time to do it right. So, you know it doesn’t take 9 months to do 3D, but our next available sort of opening was in March — great opening — so we will we work on it up to that point, and we will take every inch of time we have to perfect it."

Do you think the delay to March of 2013 is for the better?

Sounds like a pretty good "professional" answer from Chu. He knows not to bite the hand that feeds him.

And. . .I thought there were plenty of people that had seen screenings of Retaliation, so they do know what happens to Duke?

Collection Intervention follows Elyse Luray, former Head of the Collectibles Department at Christie's, as she helps couples, families and individuals whose pop-culture memorabilia collections from Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica to Catwoman and Barbie have become damaging obsessions, creating financial strife and a huge strain on their lives. Elyse will create a strategy that helps these collectors curate and showcase their collection by assessing where the true value lies and then allow them to decide what's worth keeping and what they can sell. These massive collections include dining rooms stuffed with 30,000 comic books, a garage filled to the rafters with Catwoman memorabilia, and an almost uninhabitable house filled with Transformers. For each collector, parting with some of their collection may free up some much needed space in their home, provide cash windfall to get out of debt, or even just allow a couple to become more focused on their relationship.

In 1988, G.I.Joe saw the introduction of a few large vehicles - The Cobra B.U.G.G., the G.I.Joe Rolling Thunder and an aircraft that still adorns many collections to this day, the G.I.Joe Phantom X-19 Stealth Fighter.

The X-19 was loosely based off of actual plans (as most vehicles were). The Phantom came with it's pilot, Ghost Rider, who as per original marvel comic, was easily forgettable.

Thanks to HissTank Forum Members gijoeforlife and viper934, we now have comparison pictures of the U.S., UK and Brazilian versions. Sure, not the 50 shades that I eluded to, but still enough to enjoy the subtle differences between each piece.

For instance, did you know that the Estrela version has a green canopy, or that the Action Force version was a lighter shade of gray? Join us after the jump for a history lesson and to share your thoughts on this awesome vehicle and it's different variations.

Bleacher Report posted an article just a few days ago including a video showing an interview with none other than Sgt Slaughter! In the video, Sarge talks about his career and answers a few questions. Some of these answers reveal some intriguing information for "what could've been", for GI Joe Retaliation; it turns out that Roadblock was originally supposed to seek out Sgt Slaughter instead of Joe Colton! So what was the roadblock in question? Mattel!

"My sources told me that the character that Bruce Willis (General Joseph Colton) is playing was supposed to be me, but they couldn't use (the) Sgt. Slaughter (character). The Rock, who plays Roadblock, goes out and gets someone to help him, and it was supposed to be Sgt. Slaughter. That kind of hurt a little bit."

Sarge also reveals in the interview that he was in talks to appear in the second GI Joe movie. However, due to a conflict of interest involving merchandising, he was unable to do so.

The GI Joe commentart starts at the 9:54 mark!
