As August 7th draws ever closer, more and more promotion for G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA is approaching. The following info comes from Phil Kost on JoeReloaded.com:
“I was watching Bones on TNT when there was an ad for Dark Blue. During the ad Channing Tatum and Marlon Wayans were there saying that during Dark Blue there would be some scenes from GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. So, if you are interested, check your local listings.”
Also, courtesy of tkprime and SNAKE EYES on HissTank.com, Adult Swim will be showing a special exclusive trailer this Friday night at midnight. So, fire up those DVR’s or sit down and catch some TV this week…
EDIT- The AdultSwim trailer is apparently SUNDAY at midnight, not Friday. Thanks to tkprime for the heads up.
SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com has dug up an image of what looks to potentially be an Arctic Assault Storm Shadow variant. This particular version of the figure has white sword handles and is using the unmasked head from the Paris Pursuit version. An interesting variant for sure, especially since this is how the character appears in the film.
Another production video has been added to Rise of COBRA Director Stephen Sommers’ website, this time featuring a look at sound production. Per Hallberg spends a few minutes discussing exactly what goes into doing the sound work on a big budget film like this, and there’s also some great footage, including a nice little peek at a nasty looking weapon they call a “Pulse Torpedo”. Check it out at StephenSommers.com, or just hit “play” below.
You can always tell when a movie is about to hit theaters, as the TV Spots start hitting hard and heavy. The twelveth spot is now online, thanks to HDTVSpots on YouTube. Check it out embedded below!
Another clip of interest is from TVGuide Broadband, who posts some neat clips of the London premier, including very cool behind-the-scenes footage of Baroness facing off against Scarlett, among other things. Check that out below.
Thanks to Sunbow Joe84 from HissTank.com for the intel on this!
Along with the previously reported Stephen Sommers behind the scene report, PPC Interactive has also posted a cleaner video of the cast appearing in London that I’d posted a short while ago. Along with that video, there’s also apparently a new interactive game called GIJoeDojo.
GIJoeDojo looks to be a hilarious webcam-based game where you must deflect shuriken as they come flying in from all sides. For a short instructional video on playing the game, check out the embedded video below.
The Buger King Kids’ Club has updated their site to reflect the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA Kids’ Meal promotion, and has also posted images of all of the promotional toys that are going to be available. Check out the site right here, and I’ve also mirrored some of the images below.
