First of all, I apologize for the delay in getting this posted. I am in Kansas City on business and every once in a while, the job’s gotta come first. 😉
Now that my belly is full and our corporate visions for the next year are decided, time for G.I. Joe! The guys over at HissTank.com not only got screen grabs, but also uploaded the ET Footage to YouTube, and holy hell is it awesome.
We get Cobra Commander firing from some cool looking Cobra helicopter, we have Zartan wounding himself and healing (with trademark blue skin!!) and we have mutha fuggin HISS Tanks. HISS. TANKS. Woah. If I’m getting this geeked out over the footage from ET, how is the trailer going to hit me? Anyway, check out the ET footage embedded below, courtesy of HissTank.com.
Curse me and my business trip taking me half way across the country with no access to my DVR! The Entertainment Tonight footage has aired, and HissTank.com has a bevy of new screen grabs from it!
Now didn’t I tell you all that it would be a big week for G.I. Joe: Retaliation news? 😉
I haven’t been able to dig up a specific source as of yet, but a fellow G.I. Joe fan who works within the television industry as I understand it, has revealed that Entertainment Tonight will be showing some unseen footage from G.I. Joe: Retaliation tonight in advance of the trailer.
I am working to confirm this information, but I wanted readers to make sure they turn on the TV tonight in time for ET. More information as it develops.
Unfortunately I will be at a business dinner tonight, but I will be logging on very shortly after the footage launch to soak in the Retaliation greatness. I can’t WAIT.
Okay, consider this rumor mill material at the moment, but it’s a rumor I’m leaning towards believing.
I think over the past few weeks we’ve seen plenty of Retaliation images leaked on StarkIndustries.ru. While nobody seems to know exactly where this site originated, they certainly seem to have the connections to get these images before the mainstream sites.
Well, again, thanks to toycollector962 who passed on the word… the Twitter account for StarkIndustries.ru reports that a new G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer is hitting April 25th. They Tweeted the following information about it:
“Watched new G.I. JOE trailer. More dialogue, less Seven Nation Army. One epic scene.”
“Studio requested to remove GI JOE posters which were leaked earlier today by Paramount Mexico on local sites. Trailer is coming on April 25”
Should we take that as official gospel? No. But judging by their track record, and the fact that a new trailer was listed to the Alberta film ratings website, I’d say the information is probably reliable. More information as it develops!
Big thanks goes out to GeneralsJoes Twitter pal toycollector962 who uncovered a great G.I. Joe: Retaliation international poster featuring Storm Shadow front and center with Joe Colton and Roadblock flanking him. Judging by the file name it appears to be a Korean poster.
