Along with the three images I revealed Saturday, half a dozen more have come to light courtesy of AceShowBiz. Curious also how one of their images is simply a cropped version of one I showed before, with Scarlett removed…not sure what’s up with that.
Regardless, check out their story here, and the images are mirrored below.

tkprime from the MS Gulf Coast Collectors’ Club has come through with a neat link on HissTank to MoviePoster.com, and in that link we get a cool glimpse of some Rise of COBRA themed posters, including one done up by famed comic book artist J Scott Campbell! There are also a couple of other live action style posters that we haven’t seen yet. Check out the link here, and check out the mirrored images below.

When I first saw the COBRA Gunship in person at the Toy Fair in New York, I couldn’t have been less impressed. It looked basically like a silver slab of metal that just gets tossed through the air with no real means of propulsion or maneuvering. Well, none of that has changed, yet somehow, I’ve altered my feelings on the Gunship from “meh” to “gotta have it right now, dammit when is my BBTS order gonna get here, I’m dying over here!!!”
I’m not sure exactly why that is, whether it was Duck’s review over on JBL, or that it’s getting so much action in the trailers and TV spots. I’m easily swayed like that. :shifty:
At any rate, I’m really looking forward to getting the goofy thing in my hands right now, but Alexx’s pictures ease that pain just a little. Check out the thread here, and the images below.

Apparently the August issue of Sci Fi Magazine had an interview with G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA director Stephen Sommers regarding the making of the film, the tone, etc… xhairs was kind enough to transcribe the entire interview, and it’s presented below.
A HUGE thanks to xhairs for going through all of this trouble!
WAR IS HELL
DIRECTOR STEPHEN SOMMERS BRINGS CLASSIC G.I. JOE CHARACTERS TO LIFE IN AN ACTION-PACKED ORIGIN FILM.
BY DAVID GROVE
The battle between G.I. Joe and the mysterious Cobra organization is taking place just southeast of Los Angeles. The whole area is littered with armored vehicles, caverns, explosions, rocket launchers, secret laboratories, and even a couple of manned submarines. What’s strange is that the entire scene is completely bloodless. There are no dead bodies and all of the people who are walking around the scene seem to be having a good time…
