UPDATED GI Joe 2 To Film By Years End

Clearly being run thorough with a sword and plunged into freezing waters wasn't enough to stop oul Storm Shadow! Then again, that was some kind of freakish water. I mean if Ice sinks in it maybe it also restores life or something.

Nate.news.com had the news of his management's annoucement in Korean, translated here.

"Top star Lee Byeong-Heon is in the new Hollywood film, "G.I. Joe 2"!

He will be starting the filming by the end of this year and has been contracted for the 3rd sequel, also!

Now, he is busy with the drama filming, "IRIS" and its promotions overseas. Most of his time starting next year will be send in Hollywood!

Good luck Lee Byeong-Heon!"

Good luck indeed. Lee was one of the (few) highlights in that piece of crap though, so I guess its good news that he is returning. For those of you that will be going to see it anyway:)

UPDATE Worst Previews have a few words from Dennis Quaid about returning as General Hawk for the sequel..

"I'm definitely on board if they do another one," he said. "I don't know if they have a script yet, but I'm definitely interested."

Quaid did have one request if he were to appear in the sequel. "I want to get out of the pit," he said. "I want to ride a horse and shoot a gun. I want a horse with an accelerator suit."

Don't worry Dennis, I'm sure Stephen Sommers wouldn't have a problem with that at all, in fact its probably already crossed his mind.

Sweet! He was good in the movie and i still think the movie was good.

It had a better Storyline then Transformers 2 IMO.

(not that I'm comparing but still)

The Women in the film could be a just little less Cheerleaderish and a little bit Stronger for my taste.

Give Cobra a Cooler suit and its all good.

I LIKED IT, THEY WERE BASICALLY TELLING A BEGINNING STORY, SO IT COULD BE A MORE FAMILIAR GI JOE IN THE SEQUEL.MY ONLY BEEF WAS COBRA COMMANDERS MASK AND RIPCORD.

Do they really need to take a second crap on the tv show?

You can't just Kill Off Storm Shadow....

Come on now...

I think I just threw up a little. It seems to me that this is a bad sign that they are rushing this into production. No good can come from this.

i'm glad they actually didn't kill one of the few enticing characters of the movie.
hopefully in the sequel, the camera work will be better so that we can actually see some of the snake eyes/storm shadow sparring!

I knew it. Baroness turns good, storm shadow dies, CC and Destro were both captured. Zartan was the only one who made it out! Everyone who's anyone knows any comicbook movie is going to be a trilogy nowadays, or least attempt to (for the most part). How could they get rid of key characters like storm shadow for example in the first movie? This is where the fun part about comics comes into play, they can always find a way to bring someone back. Even if the script says they're dead.. *COUGH dark knight COUGH*.....sorry about that...

the last one sucked!! i mean!! come on!! sense when does ice not float!!!! when they blew up the ice shelf and all the ice came sinking down to crush the station....

Actually, it could be argued that they took 2 craps on the show. Channing Tatum was so horrific he could be considered one big crap all on his own!
Duhdaduh
Duhdaduh - 9/21/2009, 5:31 PM
grif: toys, man. the movie didnt do that well at box office but i bet hasbro made a fortune off all those crappy movie action figures.

hmmm, movies made with its resultant toyline in mind, reminds me of joel shumacher's batman movies! maybe we'll see snake eyes with rubber lips AND nipples in this next one!!!!

maybe the second one will go direct to dvd...like the first one should have.

spideysweb - 9/21/2009, 5:37 PM
The first one wasn't that bad...there were worst movies this summer like that piece of crap district 9...
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 9/21/2009, 5:37 PM
I didn't mean anything Wheeljack, thats part of the translation from the Korean source!

Channing Tatum should be flogged for that "performance".

ah spideysweb, thanks for the giggle!

InTylerWeTrust - 9/21/2009, 5:42 PM
District 9 was the best movie of the year (at least so far), sorry Watchmen fans (hey, I'm one of ya too!)

"GI Joe" was a terribly acted, terribly written, and terribly directed movie. It should have gone straight to DVD, as thwhtknight said.

Fck Hollywood. Anyone associated with this shit movie and it's sequels should forever be barred from any future artistic endeavor unless it involves emptying the fcking trash at a movie theatre and/or art museum.

the comments about Ice sinking is getting old, didn't anyone listen when they said that the building was built into the ice... meaning there was metal in the ice and lots of it and last I checked Metal does not float.

I don't know why people didn't like this movie. If I told you that snake-eyes was going to be in a dress and dancing on stage would you hate this? Well it happened in the cartoon. The movie was over the top just like the cartoon and the comic. The movie was an action flick that did it's job. Just don't think they should bring storm shadow back. Replace him with firefly.
superdog
superdog - 9/21/2009, 8:13 PM
The movie sucked. Who cares about the cartoon. I just wanted a good movie and it was horrible IMO. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And if snake eyes did do that in the movie it still wouldn't have been as funny as the rest of the script and acting.

Osiris@ metal does sink. Except when it's surrounded by ice.

I know flames809 is overjoyed!

Hopefully the sequel will be better scripted, The cast will spend some time in acting class, and maybe cobra commander will have a mask that that doesn't look like the artificial heart from crank 2.

I want this to be better than the first, which was good but had its large share of problems
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 9/21/2009, 9:13 PM
Okay, this si my breakdown of GI Joe

Acting=Shit(except for Sienna Miller and Storm Shadow)
Story=Muddled and shit
Special Effects=Beyond shit
Script=Ear bleedingly shit
Action scenes=Passable

How can that in any way possibly add up to a good movie? If someone disagrees on any of the above points please, lets hear your arguments!

I liked GI Joe, it was a good time. Can't wait for number two. For those who criticized it, change your tighty-whities and move out of your parents basement. IOW get a life.

SHAZAM171 - 9/21/2009, 9:33 PM
Stephen Sommers is the Shittiest Director ever!!! Besides the first and possibly the second Mummy movie, his stuff is CRAP!!! Ed Wood would've probably of done a better job, if he were still alive. G.I.Joe should be like the scene where the Military was fighting the Scorpion Robot in the TRANSFORMERS movie. That scene was awesome and intense. @Teabag, You crack me up man!! LMAO!!!
thwhtGuardian
thwhtGuardian - 9/21/2009, 9:38 PM
Number21 are you Bret Ratner in disguise? G.I. Joe was bad by any standard, that's my opinion. You liked it, that's your opinion. No one's attacking you so why do you feel the need to insult others who hold a differing opinion than yourself?
SHAZAM171
SHAZAM171 - 9/21/2009, 9:42 PM
The Only reason why I even own Van Helsing is cause I bought a used $2.99 copy at Blockbuster, Kate Beckinsale looks amazing in it. She looks delicious in it. LOL

Ror is the only one (to me) that doesn't like the movie because he doesn't want to truly say it was better than he though
ecksmanfan
ecksmanfan - 9/21/2009, 10:18 PM
I'm with Ror on this one. There was really nothing good about this film. The acting was bad, the story was tolerable...at best. The dialogue...well, the fact they used the line "You and what army?" makes me sick. As I stated before, they are rushing this into production and that is never a good sign. The story and filming will be rushed and even lower quality than the first film.
thwhtGuardian
thwhtGuardian - 9/21/2009, 11:20 PM
ror is correct in my opinion, I mean it was just a poorly concieved movie and the only reason why anyone would really enjoy it would be if they were a hardcore joe fanatic who loved it purely because it was a fulfillment of their one dream to see joe brought to the big screen, like LEE. And I respect that, if you love a concept so much you can enjoy it purely for the concept, we all have movies that fall into that category, movies that people think we are crazy for loving. But to say that you like this movie for any other reason than your love of joe is madness, it was bad.

Just for the record, my guilty pleasure is the 80's Flash Gordon movie. I am human.

luecypher - 9/21/2009, 11:27 PM
What they need to do with this one is have firefly come in as the double agent like he always has been and that is how cobra commander gets out of prision. They use the mind control on baroness and make her pure bad again. Zartan is still president and bring in the twins as the backers for cobra and his organization. Make a few of the joes die and have the famous scene where snake eyes gets his vocals cut so he can't speak anymore.
