Scoring Sessions has revealed some details about the upcoming orchestral score for G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA, composed by Alan Silvestri. They’ve even got some neat behind the scenes images of the process of making the score, which is pretty fasincating. Most interesting quote is as follows:
“Conducting a 90-piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony, Silvestri’s music contains strong heroic brass themes, big and epic moments, driving action, and even some contemporary rock elements with electric guitar, percussion and synths.

Phil over at JoeReloaded comes through again, this time with a five-page preview for the upcoming third issue of the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA movie adaptation.
BE WARNED! There are major spoilers in this 5-page preview! As such, I’m posting the actual images after the “jump”, or you can also check them out here.
I will say, I enjoyed the first issue of the adaptation, and the second two are looking really good as well. I’ve already been spoiled on the events in the film, but the way IDW is fleshing them out in comic form works really nicely.

Personally I think these screenshots look a LOT more refined and polished than some of the previous ones. We’ll see how it looks in hand, but I for one will be pre-ordering this one and picking it up on launch day. My expectations aren’t real high, but any opportunity to dive into this new universe is one that I will definitely take!
