Big thanks to Total Film, who are the first to broadcast this, though I’m honestly not sure if the image is theirs exclusively or not. It features Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe: Retaliation in a threatening pose with pistol raised and ready to pop some caps!
Hit it up at Total Film, or just check out the mirrored image below.
The image features the always awesome Ray Park as Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which will hit theaters June 29, 2012.
Apparently getting some good access somewhere recently, IGN (who just posted a video interview with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) has just posted a new “flipcam” interview, this time not only talking to Johnson, but also to Retaliation director Jon M Chu and producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura. Check out the embedded video below.
Big thanks to GeneralsJoes Twitter followers LtHowlett and Skot who both pretty much simultaneously let me know that IGN has posted a great video of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hyping up Roadblock in G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
It doesn’t reveal a whole lot of new information, but it certainly showcases The Rock’s personality and his enthusiasm when tackling this character. He speaks a bit about Roadblock’s “bond” with Snake Eyes, the “gun Kata” fighting style, and how the character remains skilled in the culinary arts and enjoys quoting a little poetry.
I will say it’s interesting how The Rock talks about Roadblock evolving into a “leader”, almost looking like he’s saying something he shouldn’t… does this confirm Duke’s exit from the film mythology? We’ll see in a few short months!
Check out IGN.com for the video, or hit it up embedded below!
Gary cranked out editing duties this week and got Episode 44 of What’s on Joe Mind posted just in time for Friday! Join the guys as they talk a bit about G.I. Joe news, the Collectors’ Club credit card debacle, and spend a while talking to Dave Tree of Roll Out Roll Call 3!
Check out the episode on Podbean, or listen via the embedded player below.
I’m dying to be immersed into the G.I. Joe: Retaliation universe, so I’m psyched that IDW is releasing these issues every couple of weeks. The first issue left me a bit…I don’t know. Cold? It was fine, but I wasn’t wild about the whole “several years ago” angle, and the red ninja attack seemed frenetic and unfocused.
Well, my opinion has changed a bit with this second issue, and things are starting to come together quite nicely. The continued cameos by Rise of Cobra era characters and equipment ties both film universes together nicely and is a great Easter egg to us fans. A pretty solid second installment which has made me look forward to seeing more. To read the full review click the “Read the Rest of this Entry” link below.
Over at HissTank, BCYOJOE mentions the Hasbro Investor Event, which was held pretty close to Toy Fair this year, and as such, not a whole lot of news emerged. Well, apparently one bit of news did emerge in the form of a new image from G.I. Joe: Retaliation!
This great looking pseudo poster features Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Roadblock. Check it out here, or mirrored below.
EDIT – Source of the image is the Hasbro Investor Day presentation, which can be found at Hasbro.com.
