In a move that is sure to cause fandom outrage, Paramount has released an official image from G.I. Joe: Retaliation where Joe Colton is not wearing green, does not have flocked hair, and is not sporting king fu grip! Blasphemers!
In all seriousness, Bruce Willis as Joe Colton is looking pretty snazzy in this image, wearing a nice suit and getting ready to pop some caps in some Cobra ass. In the background you see Adrianne Pallicki following his lead. Good stuff…ready for more trailers and TV spots now!

Total Film magazine spoke to Jon Chu about G.I. Joe: Retaliation a bit, and focused somewhat on the comparisons between Mr. Chu and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra director Stephen Sommers. The G.I. Joe: Retaliation director had some interesting things to say:
“We’re different filmmakers and have different views on what G.I. Joe is.”
“I love the reality of our Joes. They have relationships with each other, aspirations; they care about the people of the world.
“We’re trying to add a lot more of that rather than doing cartoon fights with laser guns: everything is very practical and we’re doing as many physical things as possible – it’s not all greenscreen.”
Very interesting comments, and I like what I’m reading here. Obviously there was a big focus on special effects in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, especially with the whole Paris chase scene and the fandom reviled Accelerator Suits. I think getting back to basics and back to a more “real world” feel is a great step towards bringing the fans back on board. Very cool little tidbits.
Interesting in the midst of fan hooplah about recent comments from Michael Bay about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it’s very refreshing to read statements from a film maker who seems to understand what the mythology is about and appears to respect the history and make a film that lives up to the spirit of the brand.

We haven’t heard any information about an official soundtrack of anything for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but apparently Aerosmith is providing a track for the film, according to Steven Tyler and antimusic.com.
The song is called Legendary Children and was supposedly originally recorded in conjunction with Aerosmith’s 1993 album “Get a Grip”. According to both Tyler and guitarist Brad Whitford, the song will debut on American Idol at some point in May.
More news on this as it develops.

The real source of these images is a bit cloudy, but according to Cosmic Book News, the images come from Kino Gallery which is a Russian photo gallery site, and may be tied into the Russian Movie Expo which was very recently held.
These three new images feature Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye, Elodie Young as Jinx, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as Roadblock. Check out the mirrored images below.

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.

This news initially hit late last month, but for some reason it slipped by my radar. Thanks to Twitter follower ToyCollector962 for linking me to a source and reminding me about it! Henry Jackman, who wrote the score for X-Men: First Class last year will also be scoring G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
