probably old news for most, but I noticed a few parts here that were of interest to me:

(1)
GI Joe, Rise of Cobra logo on screen. Â Goldner: Â Larry Hama was integral in bringing Joe characters to life in the new movie.
(2)11:47
Movie is unique due to there being multiple threaded story lines, there is no singular good/vs/evil situation. Â Baroness/Destro, Snake/Storm, etc etc. Â And more.
(3)11:47
Larry Hamma will have a speaking part in movie.
(4)11:48
Hamma did rip the movie guys about directions they wanted to go, and they listened to him when they could.
(5)11:50
Rise of Cobra was chosen because they need to introduce these characters to people and kids that have never known them. Â So you will see Joes and Cobra exist before they were either.
(6)11:53
Marlon Wayans is both funny and serious, not pure comic relief, plays serious role as Ripcord.
(7)11:55
Showed storm shadow and baroness pics. Â Storm kicks ass. Â Baroness has lots of torn relationships, that tear her in all directions.
(8)11:56
Duke and Baroness at one point were  engaged.
(9)11:56
 Duke leaves her at alter.  Shes pissed, you can see where that goes.
(10)11:56
Ripcord and scarlett have romantic interaction as well.
(11)12:00
Action scenes will not be many 4 minute battles. Â There will be 4-5 major ones, lasting for 10-15 each. Â BIG battles.
(12)12:06
they are saying while there are international elements, it is still GI Joe, and the focus is on Joe/Ripcord, and their team mates (and snake eyes, of course)/ Â And they are US military.
(13)12:08
There is a Snake Eyes/Scarlett issue. Â But due to him not talking, they couldnt develop that as much (in real life), so its set up where Rip Cord digs Scarlett, and Snake Eyes keeps c-blocking subtlely
(14)12:08
And eventually Rip cord asks Scarlett - Are you 2 a couple? etc. Â So its there.
1: Good Larry Hama was important
2: Not so sure about this one, at least we know that there will be multiple story lines. And hopefully one thread that connects them.
3: Heh pulling a Stan Lee, fun to see if I can spot him.
4: "listened to him when they could" what is that supposed to mean? ... Oh well at least he tried to get his say in.
5: Hopefully the movie ends when the Gijoe team is formed.
6: Marlan better be more serious then he is funny. He can do good serious roles, but he gets ridiculous as a comic relief.
7: Oh great torn relationships... Drama...
8: Excuse me but WHAT? I definitely don't like this part.
9: Oh great... enter "days of our lives" theme song...
10: WHAT?! :-s
11: Cool enough putting to much action in will kill the story
12: Good, Hopefully Snake Eyes is not French
13: Heheh, ok nr 10 makes more sense now, I can see this as being entertaining.
14: Good thing that they cleared that up, but if he turns out to be her Brother then I'm going to loose it...
