G.I. JOE ORIGINS: SNAKE EYES Star Henry Golding Says Not To Expect A "Cookie Cutter, Super People Movie"

G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes was supposed to be released this October (no, we didn't realise either), and after getting to see the movie, star Henry Golding made his confidence in the spinoff clear...

Last month, G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes was pushed from this October to an undisclosed date in 2021. No one actually seemed to realise the movie was coming out that soon, but with everything happening in the world right now, it's no great surprise the marketing campaign has been non-existent. 

It appears star Henry Golding was recently able to watch an early screening of the spinoff, and that led to a pretty bold proclamation on Twitter.

"Just saw 🐍... Holy hell," he started. "This is the exact opposite of the cookie cutter, super people movies. Wow. You guys are in for something insane, I can't wait for you all to get your mits on this beast. Yowzers!!!! 🔥 Literally grinning from ear to ear."

Whether it will be better than "cookie cutter, super people movies" remains to be seen, but we do know that G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes centres on the titular character as he joins the Arashikage clan. From there, the origins of his and Storm Shadow's rivalry will be explored, and it's been reported that some sort of follow-up is already in the works at Paramount Pictures. 

Joining Golding are Andre Koji as Storm Shadow, Iko Uwais as Hard Master, Úrsula Corberó as Baroness, and Samara Weaving as Scarlett. Robert Schwentke, meanwhile, is directing.

I’d believe this if the writer and director behind this weren’t so “cookie cutter” and boring. Expecting a cool cast wasted by the film-makers

@tmp3 - but what is the opposite of a cookie cutter super people movie? Im guessing this is along the same lines as superman the movie, so the opposite of that is:

The story of someone from earth with abilities far below the average person who shapes his life when a beloved family member lives, which teaches him to take humanity for granted and turns him into a villain who faces off against mother teresa who kills him.

Now I FULLY EXPECT a cookie cutter movie. Especially given the poor creatives behind the film too.

@BlackBeltJones - Yeah I’m sure the director of RIPD and the writer of Huntsman Winter’s War will break the superhero mold lol

@tmp3 - I mean...if I'm Golding I am holding out any comments until a trailer drops. I wonder if these actors willingly act ignorant of the fact that they are working with mediocre directors and writers. Did he forget who he is working with? The guy who directed RIPD and Huntsman 2.

@BlackBeltJones - Gotta wonder how many interesting projects Golding said no to to work with the RIPD dude, lol. He’s super charismatic, so I hope this doesn’t hurt his career if it tanks.

Tell me, how would you describe a cookie cutter “Super person” movie exactly?

I find it weird when cookie cutter is used as an insult to imply lack of originality when cookies made without cookie cutters are the ones that are most generic.

He feels pretty confident in this.
Can this be a turnaround for director Robert Schwenke? Can he pull a Craig Mazin?....we shall see

@JohnMarston220 - He did direct The Captain (which I heard was pretty good), but I don't think we'll get that Robert Schwentke (though I hope I'm wrong on that prediction).

@demery - Hmm I'll try to check it out.

Plus the writer doesn't make it any better.
The only thing that gives me hope is the cast.
