Stuart Beattie Tapped To Scribe GIJoe Movie
Reported by Jay Cochran - 06:10 PM 2007.08.31
Source: Variety
Riding the wave generated by "Transformers" success, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Hasbro's Brian Goldner will produce a G.I. Joe live-action movie scheduled for release in 2009. Joining the production team along with newly-named director, Stephen Sommers, and business-partner Bob Ducsay will be scribe Stuart Beattie. The studio is looking to start production in February 2008. "Story is set at Brussels-based G.I.J.O.E., an acronym for the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, and revolves around an international co-ed force of operatives who use high-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil org headed by a double-crossing Scottish arms dealer. Beattie's credits include "Collateral" and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise."

It still sounds like they are going the PC route and downplaying the American side of G.I.Joe. My big hope is that... read more |

Collateral was a good movie. That doesn't trump Steven "Van Helsing" Sommers destroying this movie with his abominable directing skills, but it's the first non-crap news I've heard since this whole debacle started. |
