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").

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]

HASBRO'S 12" COBRA COMMANDER REVIEWED & UNMASKED

Now, I've been totally behind on my coverage of G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra (some may say tis a good thing ;p) but lemme try to make it up with this video review by "Mister Clown" who unmasks Hasbro's 12 inch COBRA COMMANDER based on the movie character! Action Figure Insider first posted the video which is embedded above. *WARNING: CLICK-PLAY-FOR-SPOILER*

Somehow I can't help but feel the transparency element of the mask is japanese kaiju-vinyl influenced. Regardless, for US$15 it would make a pretty cool kitbash-fodder, yeh? IMHO, of coz :)
