Rise of Cobra Sequel to Possibly Start Filming Spring of 2011, with Summer 2012 Release

Posted by WildWeasel on Friday, April 30th, 2010

Over at MTV Movies Blog, they have posted an interview with producer, Lorenzo di Bonaventura. In this interview he mentions that they are looking to start shooting G.I. Joe 2, the sequel to the 2009 G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra movie. With them starting next Spring, they are then looking at a 2012 summer release. Hopefully they will be able to stick to this “tentative” schedule and we’ll see this sequel sooner than later. Thanks to Terror Drome member Wizard for the heads up.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura: We’re not that far. I think it’ll be pretty soon. It’ll need a lot of work. They all do. I’ve had an occasion to read some of their pages, so I know the quality is there and the sense of tone is there. Paramount is very excited about us getting it going. No dates have been set. In our heads we think 2012 — that summer.

MTV: So then you’d start shooting when?

di Bonaventura: We’d probably start next spring.

G.I. Joe: Operation H.I.S.S. #3 Review

Posted by WildWeasel on Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

reviews-coffee New this week from IDW, is G.I. Joe: Operation H.I.S.S. #3. The third installment of a 5-issue mini-series by Brian Reed and Agustin Padilla, brings us more of Major Bludd in the Rise of Cobra movie verse. In this issue we find Duke in quite a predicament from last issue, with Storm Shadow and Major Bludd. My question is, the story is a good read, but where are the H.I.S.S. tanks? Find out what I have to say in my review about this latest G.I. Joe comic from IDW Publishing.

“We are now three issues into this mini-series. Though I find the story interesting to read, as it is expanding the Rise of Cobra universe, I’m a little disappointed.”
