Let's Write the 'G.I. Joe' movie!!
 

I've been tossing this around for a bit, what with all the news and griping that's been going on, and since we're starting to get some more tidbits about pre-production, I thought that it was high time to 'make it so'.......

So we're going to use this thread for a 'play-by-play' of making a script. First we're going to run down a cast of characters, then we'll find locations to shoot and do the 'blocking' of the scenes.

Now, let's not make it '4 thousand Joes', and let's not make it a 'popularity contest'........let's try picking various Joes and Cobras and really making it work. Each person will be responsible for the character development of 3 Joes and 3 Cobras......I think that's fair, don't you??

And remember, they all have to interact with each other, so no going off on a tangent and writing your own movie..........you can, just not in this thread!!

I'll start:

Joes

Scarlett (:rolleyes: )
Cover Girl
Lady Jaye

Cobra

Baroness
Zarana
Vypra


I'll work out some particulars once I see who takes what...........let's hope that this takes off!


*DISCLAIMER*

No p*ssing at each other, we need to remain somewhat civil and respect what others are bringing to the table. And some compromising will most likely be in order.............;) :cool:

I like this idea,GS! Hmm...........lets see-I take:

GI Joe


1).Stalker

2).Gung-Ho

3).Roadblock

Cobra

1).Vipers

2).Scrap Iron

3).Wild Weasel

since GS took all my girls! :( -Just kidding! :D

Here's mine:


Joes


Flint

Lt. Falcon

Duke


Cobra


Cobra Commander


Tomax & Xamot (I know they are 'technically' 2, but we all think of them as one person, right???)

I know, that's where I got the idea for this thread!!! I posted the same thread at HISSTank and JBL!!!


I'm curious to see what people come up with!!! :cool: :D

Alrighty, we're starting to shape up here!! let's get some more 'players' on the field and then we'll start with the plot lines


Let's all be sure to have some sort of 'back story' for each of these characters, nothing too involved mind you, but at least so that we can all come together and 'mesh them'...........

And remember, you don't HAVE to follow the comic, 'toon or anything else religiously..........creativity is your greatest weapon!!!! ;) :cool:

My turn:

Joes:

Psyche-Out

Mercer

Budo

Cobras:

mjr Bludd

Overkill

Darklon

Firefly (of Course)
Black Out
Cobra Blue Shirts.

I want to see this script be used for the movie!

Scroll down past the filecard, the part before it is just a big rant, he doesn't talk about the script until after he shows the filecards.

I really liked reading how the characters are handled in this script, Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow and Scarlett in particular. Seems like this script had a lot of promise, I can't believe producers ditched it in favor of ACTION MAN, COOL DUDE and THE NAJA.
