While covering the release date switches between JJ Abrams' Star Trek sequel and the second GI Joe flick, Deadline fairly casually drop the new title for Jon Chu's movie into the following paragraph..
I'm told that the studio will give that slot to G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the sequel that will be directed by Jon M. Chu and stars Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson and Adrianne Palicki, with Lorenzo di Bonaventura producing.
Retaliation. Against what, audiences? Anyway, despite being awful the first movie made lots of money so a sequel was inevitable. In fairness it has attracted The Rock as Roadblock which might be worth a watch, and there are rumors of
Bruce Willis being in talks to star as the "Original Joe". I am also aware that the first movie did have it's fans so maybe there is some anticipation for this. Well?
