Coming Soon has posted an interview with the G. I. Joe: Retaliation VFX Supervisor; James Madigan.

CS: Jon Chu mentioned in a recent interview we did that the film is divided into two main stories that eventually come together. There's the military story and the ninja story. How different are creating those two from your perspective?
Madigan: The military story of it was the part of it that we really wanted to give a heavy hardware, nuts and bolts kind of feel to. When we get into the story of the ninjas -- which is very much a part of the folklore from the "G.I. Joe" in the '80s -- a lot of the stuff that they do with the ninjas takes place in the Himalayas. When we had a battlefield situation, we went to a battlefield and shot it for real. On the very first day, the first thing I started working out with Jon was the ninjas. As I put it to him, if we wanted this movie to look different from the first one, the biggest risk of that is really the story of the ninjas. We really wanted to make sure we had a plan.

The interview is quite lengthy. You can read the entire interview at Coming Soon.... [Read More]
