Oh no, I’m not done yet! If I’m going to be up this damn early watching a trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, I’m doing it whole hog. I went through the entire trailer and pulled out as many new screen grabs as I could find.
I didn’t bother re-capturing most of the stuff we’ve already seen, I wanted to focus on the captures that were new in this particular trailer. There were plenty! See Firefly in his awesome balaclava…see the HISS Tanks rolling down the streets of Washington. See Jinx in a red ninja mask for the first time!
More and more good stuff. Check out the gallery below, but most importantly, check out the trailer!!
As an unexpected special surprise along with the huge trailer launch tonight, we were directed to a website for Cobra Special Forces. This interactive site presented us with a couple of simple tests that you could take to determine your ranking.
The site then gives you a rank and redirects you to a Facebook page where you can “await your next assignment”… hmmm… sounds like something more is coming. But what? Guess we’ll have to find out!
With thanks to Machinima, we have a brand spanking new G.I. Joe: Retaliation trailer! Boo YA!
We knew it was coming, we were ready for it…but could we really be totally prepared for the awesomeness it would bestow upon us? HISS Tanks rolling upon Washington, DC? Firefly, Cobra Commander, Roadblock, and Snake Eyes oozing awesomeness from every pore?
June 29th, I’m ready and waiting for you! Let’s do this.
As you may have guessed from the flood of content all hitting simultaneously, there have been some G.I. Joe: Retaliation footage screening events over the past couple of weeks, and I’ve been fortunate enough to be in contact with a few people who got a chance to attend these events. The only hitch? Any talking about these events was embargoed until 8:00am Greenwich Mean Time. That’s 3:00am Eastern and 12:00 midnight Pacific to us over here in the United States.
Now not only did the always awesome Russ Sheath and Dave Tree write up some very detailed and very extensive reports on these screenings, but Dave also stayed up until all hours of the UK night to talk to us on What’s on Joe Mind about what he saw! He gets into full details, and lets us interrogate him in true What’s on Joe Mind fashion to get to the bottom of G.I. Joe: Retaliation as we come within two months of the film’s release.
Gary, being the consummate professional that he is, got the editing turned around in lightning fast time and we have a very Special Edition of the What’s on Joe Mind podcast in the can and ready to go! Check it out as always on our Podbean page, or hit up the embedded player below.
