Paramount Pictures has named Stuart Beattie to write the script for the new GI Joe film. The full press release reads below.
Note that The story is set at Brussels-based G.I.J.O.E. which now means Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity.
Paramount Pictures is has roped in Stuart Beattie to pen the script for the new 'G.I. Joe' movie.
The studio is determined to start work on the project as soon as possible, especially after the success of Paramount/DreamWorks' Transformers," which is also based on a Hasbro toy line.
Paul Lovett and David Elliot and Skip Woods are some of the writers who have penned earlier drafts for the project that has been in the pipeline for some time now, reports Variety.
Pre-production is likely to begin by the end of the year, and Paramount is expecting the production to start in February, with the movie expected to hit the big screen in summer 2009.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Hasbro's Brian Goldner, Sommers and partner Bob Ducsay are producing the film.
The story is set at Brussels-based G.I.J.O.E. which means Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity.
The film is based on 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.
It's been confirmed that Paramount Pictures, alongside Hasbro, are set to release a live action GI-Joe movie (scheduled for 2009) with the director Stephen Summers (The Mummy, Van Helsing) and Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (Transformers).
A full press release was sent out 2 hours ago with the following information:
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
Call it "G.I. Go."
Paramount Pictures finally has mobilized "G.I. Joe," hiring the
director of the "Mummy" movies to shoot a live-action film
based on the popular Hasbro military action figures.
"G.I. Joe" had long been in development at Paramount,
though it gained traction thanks in part to "Transformers," the
hit summer movie based on another Hasbro toy line.
While G.I. Joe toys have been around for decades, the movie
will be based on the toy line launched in the 1980s, which also
was tied to a Saturday morning cartoon and comic book series.
Director Stephen Sommers' take was inspired by a trip to
Hasbro's headquarters in Rhode Island, where he learned in
depth about the world of G.I. Joe. Sommers then met with
Paramount brass, who sparked to his ideas. The studio is eyeing
a summer 2009 release.
The film will see soldiers from all branches of the
military fighting a terrorist group called Cobra, led by the
Cobra Commander and featuring such villains as the Baroness,
metal-faced arms dealer Destro, master of disguise Zartan and
biker gang Dreadnoks.
On the good guys' side were heroes such as the mute ninja
Snake Eyes and the fetching heroine Scarlett, who were led by a
Joe named Duke.
The full name of the '80s toy line was G.I. Joe: A Real
American Hero, but in a reflection of the global nature of
tentpoles and current geopolitical climate, the Yankee nature
of the strike force is being dropped, with the team now having
an international flavor.
