G.I.Joe Retaliation by Hasbro @ New York Toy Fair 2012

G.I.Joe Retaliation toys may not feature the most awesomenest of likenesses, nor kick-ass bodysculpts, tis because they are meant to be played with, aren't they … AREN'T THEY? And if their toy-versions are any indication of their feature-film counterparts, you've got lots of character and costumes revealed right here! But we all know tis all about the combat-vehicles, no? I'd be ignorantly happy with just the vehicles, but logic dictates someone has got to be driving them, ya know? Nothing much to rave over about, but hell excited still to see the film tho! GOOOOOO, JOOOOE!

French Trailer for G.I.Joe Retaliation

Witness the French Trailer for G.I.Joe RETALIATION - featuring a few swell new footage, and somehow eggs me on to REALLY desire to watch this film NOW! (Maybe tis the Wednesday afternoon heat, brought on by the excitement of the SuperBowl-spot, I suppose…)

The Rock and Joe

Something about the buff Dwayne Johnson that adds to the sudden appeal of this movie, and Bruce Willis somehow provides a semblance of "depth" to the proceedings ... ah but the wonders of 'casting' LOL

G.I. JOE: RETALIATION - Super Bowl XLVI TV Spot

"In the immortal words of Jay-Z…" - begins the pep-talk to the Joes as quoted "Roadblock" (played by Dwayne Johnson aka 'The Rock') - this cracks me up lol

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Exclusive Premiere Trailer

I remember loving the tease of the film right up to the premiere of the first G.I.Joe movie (and of the slight disappointment thereafter, even tho I did enjoy the flick myself) … and I find myself infinitely excited again for this movie's sequel: G.I. Joe: Retaliation - with this new trailer. And yes, I cannot wait to see it NOW! And yes Adrianne Palicki is all forgiven for her turn as Wonder Woman, because I absolutely love her as "Lady Jaye" here!

Dwayne Johnson / The Rock as Roadblock On The First Day of Shooting

by The Rock: "1st day of shooting. 110 degrees. Bring It." - along with this image of him in full-on "Roadblock"-gear. There's 'hope' for G.I.Joe: Retaliation yet!

This blogspot has been left barren for an extended period of time but for a variety of as-yet unposted features and even a movie review of the G.I.Joe movie (which look insipid on first viewing, but became somewhat entertaining on a DVD repeat viewing). Nevertheless, that time has gone, and we prepare ourselves for the coming of the full-feature sequel: "G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation"! To be directed by Jon M. Chu and produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura - actors reprising their roles from the first movie include Channing Tatum ("Duke"), Ray Park ("Snake Eyes"), and Byung Hun-lee ("Shadow Storm").


[Adrianne Palicki as "Lady Jaye"]
New "recruits" for the franchise has since been added to the list - including Dwayne Johnson as "Roadblock" (pic seen above), Ray Stevenson as "Firefly", RZA as "Blind Master", and Adrianne Palicki as "Lady Jaye". Today's news sees Bruce Willis in talks for a role as "General Joe Colton", the original G.I. Joe. "In the ’80s comic book series, the character is the one who forms the G.I. Joe strike team." ~says /Film.

G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation is scheduled for a 29th June 2012 USA-release. [IMDb]
