These YouTube clips keep hitting, though these particular ones don’t feature any real footage, just some insight from the cast. But the main characters aren’t the only ones getting video interviewed, and just showing what a large, ensemble cast this is, we have what look to be our first video interviews of Ray Park, Jonathon Pryce, and RZA from Scream Team Media, courtesy of Skinny Joe Fan!
Because there are so many interviews, check them out after the jump.
What’s On Joe Mind, “live” from the red carpet in London, our representatives Dave Tree (from Roll Out Roll Call and All the Cool Stuff) and Russell Sheath (contributor to Aint It Cool News) talk to DJ Cotrona, Elodie Yung, cover the Press Conference and sit down with Director Jon M. Chu himself!
An exclusive and intimate talk with the G.I. Joe: Retaliation director reveals some cool details about a potential directors’ cut of the DVD and possible content that was not in the final cut of the G.I. Joe: Retaliation film! This thrilling special edition is live now on Podbean as well as embedded below.
As of late, when most of us think of Retaliation and the color red, we think of how much of a knock out Adrianne Palicki looks in that red dress she is seen wearing in the trailers. Well, red means something else when it comes to worldwide premiere’s of movies, it means the RED CARPET. We Paramount UK afforded an opportunity for our man in the UK, Dave Tree, to attend the premiere and get a spot on the side of the carpet, we couldn’t pass it up. Throw in an exclusive interview with Director Jon M. Chu, and it is a DONE DEAL! WOJM is red carpet bound. Check this show out as Justin and Gary comment on the movie and interviews, all the while throwing coverage back to London for updates from the premiere party. Music, ninjas and celebs abound! This is a CAN’T MISS special – once in a lifetime – edition of WOJM!
G.I. Joe: Retaliation is right around the corner… only mere days away! The lucky folks over in London actually got their red carpet premiere last week, and both GeneralsJoes and the What’s on Joe Mind podcast were fortunate enough to have some representatives at the London premiere.
Dave Tree from All the Cool Stuff and Russ Sheath, contributor to Aint It Cool News both very kindly offered to cover the event on our behalf, and they knocked the ball out of the friggen park! Hitting the red carpet, recording the press conference, and even getting a face-to-face interview with director Jon M Chu!
Most of the audio coverage from the red carpet and press conference event is now posted in audio format on Special Edition #26 of What’s on Joe Mind, but the interview with Jon Chu can be read below. This is was a fantastic opportunity for both the podcast and this website, and we greatly appreciate Paramount, Mr. Chu, and of course Dave and Russ for getting this all together for us. We are infinitely grateful for everyone’s participation and willingness to work with us.

Coming down the home stretch, and we’re officially less than a week from the film’s launch, but Twitziller is still going strong, breaking down reason #6 to go see G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
#6:
Twitziller covered Cobra Commander in an earlier entry, but as Rise of Cobra clearly showed, Cobra Commander can exist without his battle helmet… but he’s not nearly as damn cool. I could almost hear the collective geek out across the entire Joe fandom when this version of Cobra Commander was revealed for the first time in a trailer so many months ago. Ever since, G.I. Joe fans have clung on every small appearance in a trailer, image, TV spot or character profile. This battle helmet is a big reason why.
We have been very busy behind the scenes with Roll Out Roll Call too, but a great new source has been set up for information and news regarding the next event so join us on the dedicated Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/RollOutRollCall?ref=hl or on Twitter @RollOutRollCall
This morning brings us even more exciting video from the production of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, this time in the form of a 14 minute long behind the scenes video. Mingled among this video is plenty of scenes from the film itself. I would warn against watching this too much for folks who are avoiding spoilers, but for folks like me who are just sucking these things up, it’s a pretty excellent 14 minute experience.
Thanks to chorvacommander of HissTank.com for digging this up. Check it out on YouTube or embedded below.

The hits just keep on coming… these aren’t TV Spots or trailers, they look to be Celebs.com interviews with the G.I. Joe: Retaliation stars, including everyone from Ray Stevenson to Elodie Yung, Dwayne Johnson, DJ Cotrona, and Adrianne Palicki.
There doesn’t appear to be much new actual film footage in these interviews, but the interviews themselves are still very enlightening, but keep in mind some movie spoilers might be contained. Click the Read the Rest of the Story link below to check them all out. Thanks to Skinny from SerpentorsLair.org for the keen eye.
Another character vignette has made its way online, courtesy of what appears to be a foreign YouTube channel. It’s a great minute long look at the Lady Jaye character with some great new footage featuring Lady Jaye herself and our first really good look at Agent Mouse!
Check it out embedded below. Thanks to Skinny from SerpentorsLair for the info.
I just posted the link to Mike Ryan’s article saying that no real reviews have gone up yet, but then bam! We suddenly have a few reviews. I have posted some links below to check out these reviews, although keep in mind, there are some spoilers throughout. I have put the review scores in parentheses next to the link so folks can get an idea of the response without actually risking spoilers.
Reaction so far, among these critics, remains mostly positive. It will be very interesting to keep watch on this as the next few days go on, as more and more reviews from various advanced screenings start getting posted.
There is a RottenTomatos spot for G.I. Joe: Retaliation as well, with the above three reviews linked to it, but not enough to yet build a “consensus”. That should change over the next few days!
