MovieHole has interviewed Adrianne Palicki, and she shed more light on GI Joe Retaliation. It turns out that it isn't very heavy on special effects. Most of the visual special effects were actually used in the oft-mentioned Himalayan mountains ninja battle. Palicki is open to show up in a sequel and she says that the production crew should know in a few days whether or not a sequel will be greenlit, as the movie has already started screening. It also turns out that the movie was barely done before the original 2012 release date, so to her, the delay for 2013 was beneficial as the movie could be made the best it could be.

Palicki also mentions that the Retaliation delay is nothing compared to Red Dawn's delay. Read on for the GI Joe-relevant parts of the interview.... [Read More]

Last year Adrianne Palicki "Lady Jaye" gave Maxim magazine an interview and photo shoot. We have ported over the images and the G.I. Joe portion of the interview for us fans to enjoy.

Changing the subject immediately, did you have G.I. Joe action figures as a kid?

"My brother used to play with them, and anything my brother did I wanted to do. I don’t think he had Lady Jaye, though. Bastard!"

Lady Jaye is a weapons expert. Do you have a favorite gun?

"An AK is kind of great, but I like the Glock. It’s simple because it’s easy to change the cartridge, so you look like the biggest badass with it. Plus, you can hold it sideways!"

Doesn’t that make it harder to shoot accurately?

"Yeah, and you also have to be careful of the shell. I got hit in the face with one, and it cut my nose open."

From a round you fired?

"No, it was Dwayne’s."

You got shot by Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson? Amazing! How was working with Bruce Willis?

"Bruce is an amazing pain in the ass, and I love him to death."

And what about RZA? This cast is ridiculous!

"Sadly, I never got to work with him. He only worked with the ninjas. Ninjas are so cool!"

Any specific ninja, or just ninjas in general?

"Ninjas in general are pretty badass. They have swords, and they can come from ceilings and make themselves disappear!"

Anyway I found the 3x3 method of block building the head was very cool and we wanted to share the designs on our forums. Hopefully this will spark new custom builds using Kre-O and we can see some new G.I.Joe and Cobra characters.

Mike Ryan had the privilege of meeting Jon M. Chu; the Director of G. I. Joe: Retaliation for a chat about the new movie and where it will go from there.

Indeed the whole interview is a one giant SPOILER but Mr. Chu hinted what (or rather "Who") we might meet in another G. I. Joe movie after Retaliation.

"Major Bludd is still out there to be used?
Major Bludd is still out there. There's a ton that we could tackle."

Mike did not forget to ask about the delay with Retaliation as well...

"There are a lot of rumors. Were there any re-shoots or any new scenes shot after the delay was announced?
Zero. Zero. We didn't do any re-shoots from the delay on. We had done a two-day shoot, like, five months prior, just to add a little bit of comedy. We wanted funnier things. We wanted some more fun things to let the audience be in on the joke a bit more."

For some of you, G. I. Joe: Retaliation is already out today... for the rest of us, we are just 2 days away. Yo Joe! (and Cobraaaaa!!!)... [Read More]

ComingSoon.net has posted a rather extensive interview with GI Joe Retaliation screenwriters Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick. It's been a while since we've heard from these 2 and since the movie has already started screening, they are able to shed more light on it. Reese grew up reading the Marvel GI Joe A Real American Hero comics and enjoyed the toys as a child, so the both of them jumped at the chance to write Retaliation. He even had a Skystriker, HISS Tank and apparently everything else except for the USS Flagg. Their competition to write Retaliation was a bunch of other writers but their pitch won. More on their pitch:

Wernick: We pitched the movie from start to finish. It took us about an hour to present it. You're competing against a bunch of other writers to do it and, obviously, it's a very sought-after job because it's a big movie and a franchise and a sequel to a movie that made money. It's a movie that's definitely getting made and, in this town, it's hard to get movies made. It's especially hard to get movies made. We find that on a day-to-day basis, "Deadpool" being the prime example.

Reese: We're pushing the boulder on that one, still. It's been years.

Wernick: We also felt like we had a great in to the story and we were really excited about it, creatively.

Other interesting facts include the fact that the Himalayan Mountains ninja battle was initially envisioned with wing-suits but was changed due to the fact that those were being used in Transformers Dark Of The Moon! Apparently the Reese & Wernick got action figures made of themselves too!

Wernick: We went up to Rhode Island where Hasbro is based when we first signed on to the project. We kind of went to G.I. Joe school. It was really, really cool. They laid out all the characters and the toys and they said, "This and this and this." We got action figures made of ourselves, which was just the greatest thing ever. It was just a thrill. It just brings out the kid in you.

Cobra Special Forces Official Facebook Page has been updated with a link directing to some info about the recently seen Cobra American Flag.

The flag has been designed by artist Anthony Petrie of Gallery1988.

"We’ve been waiting a while to show this off. We were commissioned by Paramount Pictures to create a promotional image for the new GI Joe movie and in turn artist Anthony Petrie created an incredibly iconic image that debuted today.

It’s different than most anything we’ve done before (or any else in our bubble for that matter), because he actually created a real life Cobra flag from scratch, then photo’d it to create this poster. And if you look close, on the right side of the flag, you’ll notice Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes’ clan tag Arashikage worked into the stripes. SO GOOD!

Paramount had only 100 of these posters created, and we have NOTHING to do with, so don’t ask. But I do believe this would be the site to keep tabs on: https://www.facebook.com/CobraSpecialForces"

This is the G.I.Joe Film the fire breathing fan base has been waiting for! For us hard core fans, we view these comic book movies with a lot more pride and scrutiny, then the average movie going audience. Having more of a vested interest because we collect the toys and stay current with the G.I.Joe brand, as a group we expect Retaliation to deliver on all fronts.

The start of the film has an action sequence that felt like a live action G.I.Joe Resolute cartoon, followed up by a story that was obviously heavily influenced by Larry Hama, and the ARAH comics of the golden age of G.I.Joe. Hats of to Jon Chu for being able to put together a real G.I.Joe movie that fans can enjoy. Chu was able to keep the core spirit of the G.I.Joe team, and made Cobra stand out with a classic feel.

I'm going to tell you right now, go see it in 3D. For a film that was shot with no intent to be shown in 3D, you will miss out if you just go to a standard viewing. The extra time that Jon Chu was given to convert G.I.Joe Retaliation into 3D was time and money well spent. It was very clean and no scene felt rushed in production. Ninja's in 3D, you're doing it right.

I'm not going to post spoilers on the front page, but when you go see the film, pay attention at the start for potential characters in future films. The prison holds a few more Cobra's then we had knowledge of in the past. G.I.Joe Retaliation is loaded with fanboy goodness so enjoy the ride but keep your eyes open.

In closing, I really feel the G.I.Joe fan base finally has a movie we can be proud of. After all the drama and delays, Retaliation is out in the wild for us to enjoy. There is no doubt this film will be bringing in a new generation of G.I.Joe fans to the community. This time around they will have a better understanding of the creative foundation that made this brand a Pop Culture Icon.

Now Go See It For Yourself.........Yo Joe!... [Read More]

It turns out that back in the day, unlike Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick(and many other countless kids who are now adults and probably ask for a Flagg reissue annually), Cotrona actually had the USS Flagg. Lucky him!

He also said his workouts for 5 months in which he gained 20 pounds of muscle seemed like they were for nothing once he ended up standing next to The Rock. Read on for more of the interview!... [Read More]
