Hasbro and G.I. Joe are celebrating 25 years of keeping the world safe from the evil terrorist organization, Cobra, and now rumors are surfacing that a big budget G.I. Joe feature is in the works.
There are scant few official details available at this time, but IESB recently reported that
Stuart Beattie, writer of
Pirates of the Caribbean,
Collateral and the upcoming
Spy Hunter, has recently turned in a first-draft of the script, to be filmed by Stephen Sommers, director of
The Mummy Returns and
Van Helsing.
According to the report, which cites a “reliable studio source,” the story will focus on the tangled relationship between popular ninjas
Snake Eyes and
Storm Shadow. The Joes will face down popular Cobra villains
Destro, the
Baronness and
Cobra Commander, though only in a limited role, as well as the chameleon
Zartan and his gang, the
Dreadnoks.
There is no official release date set for this film at this time.
