The movie sequel to GI Joe has been confirmed. Paramount’s vice chairman, Rob Moore, announced indeed that a sequel will soon go into development. The cast of the first movie will be back for GI Joe 2: it’s in their contract and anyway, that’s an offer they wouldn’t refuse. From a conference in Australia some time ago we know that Director Stephen Sommers is interested in helming the new GI Joe movie, but Rob Moore didn’t confirm if Stephen Sommers will keep his job.

I’m damn glad they’re going ahead with GI Joe 2. The first film was like 2 hours of action non stop with plenty of sci-fi gadgets: I really enjoyed the film. Just one thing I hope they do better in GI Joe 2 though: please allocate more money to the CGI budget. And give more screen time to Rachel Nichols (who plays the sexy Scarlett)!

Director Stephen Sommers composedly announced that there will be a movie sequel to GI joe during a conference in Australia. I guess it’s good news because the first movie is actually setting things for something much better ahead. From the tidbits that leaked online we know indeed that the upcoming GI Joe Rise of Cobra movie is a kind of Origins story for Cobra Commander.

GI Joe 2 – GI Joe Movie Sequel

At the beginning of the GI Joe movie Cobra Commander (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is actually called the Doctor. He’s working for James McCullen who’s a the head of the powerful company MARS.

But at the end the Doctor becomes the Cobra Commander we know, an evil genius all powerful and damn Machiavellian, and James McCullen can but step down to become Cobra’s minion under the name of Destro (Cobra gifts him with a mask made of nanocytes).

The yet-to-be-released GI Joe is suffering from some bad buzz online, can understand this by looking at the poor CGI of the exoskeletons… But I guess it won’t hinder GI Joe from being a blockbuster: lot of action, plenty of special effects, and the whole thing based on a famous franchise, you bet people are going to watch it in theaters. I know I will! Can’t miss that!

But I’m much more thrilled by GI Joe 2! The origins of Cobra are maybe interesting but what I want, and I guess GI Joe fans too, is to see a full-fledged Cobra Army with its mighty Machiavellian commander at its head.

GI Joe can be a hell of of a movie if they do things right. Could be a perfect mix of action and science-fiction!

So let’s hope that Director Stephen Sommers will have the means to bring us this GI Joe 2 movie!
