Coming in 2009, this is shaping up to be a big budget blockbuster. Check out the lineup:

It's being directed by Stephen Sommers of The Mummy, Scorpion King, and Van Helsing fame.

The line up looks pretty good. I'm curious how they'll handle the story, make it realistic and plausible or go over the top and cartoon-like? Either way, I'll probably watch it in the theater.

I heard that they thinned out the GI Joe storyline and made him international instead of "The Great American Hero" that we in the US watched in the 80s. He works for something like the UN and is a global special forces team...

In case you guys didn't know, there's a few pics on it. Here's one of them.

It's still hard to say whether it'll be good or not, but now you know how its looking.

"and knowing is half the battle!!!"

I loved G.I. Joe growing up .. My G.I's would always blow up my sisters Barbies... and you wonder why I like to play BF2 ..lol I was a tomboy what can I say

That's okay, we can tell.

I miss the good old G.I. Joe show. Makes we want to watch it all over again, along with the movies they made.

Hopefully this movie will not disappoint.

Five bucks says it's a horrible piece of dung, but still makes jillions of dollars.

G.I. Joe...Not the great american hero?!?!?!....If they make him into ANY sort of "international/global whatever",its NOT G.I.Joe!
Lord knows we sure couldn't have an AMERICAN Hero! If he isn't American ALL THE WAY...He's an identity theif at best.
