It was previously reported that Stephen Sommers will come back to direct the
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra sequel, but it looks like that might not be the case.
24 Frames reports:
"Those who were on the fence about the filmmaker can unhook themselves: After reports this summer that Sommers would be returning to direct a planned sequel, it looks like he won't be doing that after all. Two agents who represent other filmmakers have said they'd recently been approached about their clients coming on to helm the movie and were told that Sommers would not be getting behind the camera. Paramount declined to comment."
G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra was released in 2009 and earned around $300 million dollars at the worldwide box-office, so sequel is definitely happening.
What do you think about this? I honestly think that a new director is a good idea, since the first movie was just meh, it could have been a lot better.
