hmmm Star Wars anyone ;)

That'd be so cool if the bionic suits give that bionic man/woman sound!

More news on Hawk/Quaid

One would presume that all the action in Vantage Point must have been a good warm-up for Dennis Quaid playing General Hawk Abernathy in Stephen Sommers' live action movie based on the cartoon, comics and action figures known as G.I. Joe, but Quaid admits he doesn't have a lot of action in the Paramount feature scheduled for the summer of '09. "Not so much for me in this one. Hopefully, there's going to be two more after this. I don't really have a lot to do here in the first one. I really signed up for the future as well."

He told us that he's already been scanned for his action figure and "it's anatomically correct, too," he joked, but he's not involved with the romances mentioned at the Hasbro presentation a couple days ago. "I have no romances, but my aide-de-camp is a Victoria's Secret supermodel, Carolina Kournikova, her name is Cover Girl, so it can't be too serious. It's a little bit like the cartoon show and it's a little bit like a modern action film, and it's also a little like James Bond old-style back in the '60s with Specter taking over an island for it's own criminal country and a threat to the entire world. It's somewhat tongue-in-cheek and great action and it just seems like a lot of fun. I just wanted to be a part of it."

Well, at least we know that he WANTS to be in it.

'Transformers'........that's all I'm going to say.......you either 'get it' or you don't...... ;)

MTV interviewed Brian Goldner, executive producer of G.I. Joe, and incoming Hasbro CEO, about the upcoming movie. Items revealed were:

- Comics writer Larry Hama is indeed working on the script, and will also make a cameo appearance in the film.

- The movie will disregard the cartoon and focus on the classic 155 issue Marvel run.

- The story is, more or less, about the rise of Cobra Commander.

- Locations involve underwater, desert, mountains and cities.

- Denial of rumors that American patriotism angle has been dialed back.

Oh, well, those are the best news I've heard in a while.

The official logo for Paramount’s G.I. Joe live-action movie has been found at Toy Fair in New York City. You can take a look at the full banner at MTV or Hisstank. I spent a good half an hour cleaning up the image, so that it looks presentable online. I’m sure Paramount will issue an official digital graphic this week. The official studio plot synopsis follows:

“From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite co-ed GI JOE team, based from it’s headquarters The Pit, deploys the latest in next-gen spy and military equipment to fight crooked arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious COBRA organization from plunging the world into chaos.”

FYI! : I did not make this, I copy and pasted the link!

It's funny that they felt the need to say "co-ed" in there.

I like how it reads regarding Destro in that it's possible he's a separate entity from Cobra. Sounds like he may be an established threat and, as we've heard elsewhere, the film charts the emergence of the Cobra organisation. With its awesome young leader who's down with the kids and probably recruiting those going through a teenage rebellious phase.

Nice that they also specify Destro is a CROOKED arms dealer. Because as we all know, selling weapons is perfectly OK when it's being done by good people like, say, the government...
