Thanks to Twitter bud toycollector962 for pointing out some great video interviews with the folks involved in the production of G.I. Joe: Retaliation… nothing new or ground breaking, but still, some interviews we have not yet seen (that I’m aware of).
Check them out below!
While there isn’t any new footage revealed that I can tell in this new Japanese TV spot for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, there is a short intro by Lee Byung-Hun as well as a short closing by Bruce Willis. It almost looks like there’s a scene of Cobra Commander, Firefly, and President Zartan in the middle that might be new, but I’m not certain on that.
Check it out on YouTube, or hit up the embedded player below. Big thanks to skinny from Serpentors Lair for the heads up!
Interesting…sure, we’ve seen a number of interviews at this point, but Empire Magazine takes a slightly different tactic, going through the latest theatrical trailer, scene-by-scene with G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon M. Chu. Some very cool insight sprinkled throughout, and an interesting way to interview the director. I dig it.
Thanks to Mr. Chu’s Twitter feed for directing us to this! Check it out at EmpireOnline.com.
More great press coming out of Cinemacon last week, this time from Slashfilm, who have posted a very extensive interview with Jon Chu. While there aren’t a ton of details or new spoilers revealed throughout this particular piece, they have a great discussion about G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and what was good and what potentially went wrong with that film.
Jon Chu has a terrific perspective on the Rise Of Cobra, and how the property emerged from that Hollywood infused production. I found it really interesting to read about his perspective on the 80’s universe and how that works with the whole “original Joe” idea with Bruce Willis.
Check out this great interview over on Slashfilm right here. It’s some good stuff.
Thanks to Jay from ENewsI for the heads up.
Wow, it’s hard to believe that it’s been a full year since the What’s on Joe Mind podcast launched, but the guys certainly know how to celebrate. Episode #52 features not just an interview with Michael Bell to celebrate, but we also opened our phone lines to all of our fans! For over three hours we had a constant stream of callers dialing in to shoot the breeze, ask questions, and just generally have some fun.
Not only that, but we had some old friends stop by and hang out on the show for a little while, which was a really fun, awesome experience.
I just happened to be running a little late for this one, but I should pop up about an hour into the episode, and eventually I don’t sound like I’m talking in a trash can. Listen to this landmark 1 year anniversary episode on Podbean.com, or check it out via the embedded player below. As always, the show notes will be after the jump.
Apparently G.I. Joe: Retaliation director Jon Chu is making the rounds, as he has spoken with the folks at Bleeding Cool about the politics and satire of the upcoming G.I. Joe film sequel. The discussion focuses mostly on the amount of satire within the film, which is something that script writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick excel in.
But the most interesting part of the article mentions that we should keep our eyes on Bleeding Cool as they plan on talking a lot about the “ambitious action scene centrepiece”, which sounds like something we should all look forward to!
