Four Minute Extended Preview For ‘G.I. Joe Retaliation’ Leaks Online

by Shawn Madden

This weekend Paramount added a special four minute look at the upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation to 3D screenings of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters. A low-quality version of the preview has made its way online. The preview footage, which is part of a longer ten-minute Himalaya action sequence, is partially inspired by the classic 1984 story “Silent Interlude” from the G.I. Joe comics and is told entirely without spoken dialogue. If the rest of the movie is anything like this scene, it looks like we’re definitely going to be getting a great G. I. Joe film.

Some New Stills From ‘GI Joe: Retaliation’

by Shawn Madden

Now i’m sure by now you’ve heard that film has been pushed back to next year but that doesn’t mean Paramount isn’t going to keep pushing the film. Courtesy of ICG Magazine we have some new stills from ‘GI Joe: Retaliation’ including a few behind the scenes ones.

The Real Story On The ‘GI Joe: Retaliation’ Date Change

by Shawn Madden

So, a few days back I reported on ‘GI Joe: Retaliation’ being pushed back and it looks like there’s more than meets the eye here. Wait… wrong franchise. Moving along. We were all told it was so that they could go 3D to pull in a higher international gross. But from the get go there was plenty of people not buying it. Most were positive it was due to ‘Battleship’ sinking and a fear that they would not be able to compete with ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ coming out four days later. Some speculated it was to try and pull in Joseph Gordon Levitt after realizing that once ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ hits… well he’s going to be bigger than he already is.

Well… according to Deadline you were all wrong. Apparently after test screenings Paramount realized they had made some mistakes. Primarily… killing off Channing Tatum. Yeah… they killed him off. Crying fan boys on the internet ACTUALLY got something they wanted and guess what? It turned out bad. Who would’ve thought? Tatum wasn’t a star at all when ‘GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra’ came out. But after he became a ladies favorite with ‘The Vow’ and had one of the most successful comedies of the year with ’21 Jump Street’ they realized a mistake had been made. It became even more apparent when test audiences commented that the relationship between Tatum and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was a “bright spot”.

Sources stated that Jon Chu was “shell shocked” over the release date move. As was Hollywood due to all the money spent on marketing the flick for that date being plastered all over.

Will this affect people going to see it? Probably not. Can this possibly improve the film? I think so. I actually like Channing Tatum (I’m sure now the fan boys shall unite and burn me at the stake) And Ray Park seemed very confident in this movie when I spoke with him at Wondercon. So… lets hope for the best. And look… it just means you can go see ‘Prometheus’, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ and ‘Ted’ five more times.

GI Joe: Retaliation Pushed Back To March 2013 To Go 3D

by Shawn Madden

So, it looks like some people are going to be let down next month.

Just one month before G.I. Joe: Retaliation was scheduled to hit theaters June 29, Paramount decided to move its release date to March 29, 2013 in order to convert the movie to 3D.

A studio exec has stated “We’re going to do a conscientious 3D job because we’ve seen how it can [do] better box office internationally. Jim Cameron did all of Titanic’s 3D in post – and look how well that movie turned out.”

The thing is…what they’re doing IS smart. 3D movies do tend to be more profitable across seas. Its also going to be hard competition for movies this summer (especially with Retaliation coming out literal days before The Amazing Spider-Man) with so many exciting films on the horizon. And as Battleship proved by sinking under the weight of The Avengers…timing may be everything with these releases.

Well…looks like they’re going to have to reprint those posters eh?

Does this decision make me want to see this movie less? No. I’m still going to be dead center geeking out to Snake Eyes and Firefly the whole time.

Eh at least on the bright side though here…this DID cause Universal to bump up Ted by two weeks?
