“”G.I. Joe 2″ To Be About The Rock & Ninjas” — Bonaventura

Filed in G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation.

gijoe-2-temp-placeholder-logoThe MTV Movies Blog posted an interview with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura from the Transformers 3 premiere event. Bonaventura goes on to say that The Rock and “ninjas” will have a prominent presence in the “G.I. Joe 2” movie. That “ninja fans are going to love it” and that The Rock is such a great character himself and they are really happy to have him in the live-action sequel, they plan to fully utlilize him. You can check out the interview below.

“The ninja fans are going to love it,” he said of the sequel. “There’s a tremendous amount of it. What’s interesting is, we both have that going on in the Snake-Eyes story, but we’ve found a way to bring that element into the Joes’ story. I think anybody who’s a fan of dark, in the middle of the night [action with] a dangerous foe arriving, this is a movie for you.”


As for Roadblock, di Bonaventura added: “Rock is such a great character to have in ‘G.I. Joe.’ It’s an amazing combination. We would not be very good if we didn’t fully utilize him, so he’s going to have a lot of things to do. It is an ensemble movie, so you have other characters certainly playing it out.”
