SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN Writer Set To Pen G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Sequel
Jon M. Chu has now officially signed up to helm the third instalment of the G.I. Joe franchise, while Paramount have enlisted Snow White and the Huntsman and Ninja Turtles writer Evan Daugherty to pen the follow-up to G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Read on for details!
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Jon M. Chu will return to direct the currently untitled G.I. Joe 3. Paramount have also turned to Snow White and the Huntsman writer Evan Daugherty to work on the screenplay of the movie, although there are currently no details on what his take will include. Daugherty also did a last-minute rewrite for the Michael Bay produced Ninja Turtles and co-wrote Summit's adaptation of the Veronica Roth 'Young Adult' novel Divergent, starring The Amazing Spider-Man 2's Shailene Woodley. While critics have never been too kind to the franchise, 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra made $302 million worldwide, while this year's G.I. Joe: Retaliation (starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) scored an impressive $371 million.
