G.I. Joe 2

French Trailer for G.I. JOE: RETALIATION

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 7th, 2012 at 1:21 pm

A French trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been released. It plays like a mash-up of the first domestic trailer for the film and the recent Super Bowl spot, with some new footage mixed in. I continue to be impressed by what we’re seeing from Retaliation; it just looks like a really, really fun movie. The pic seems to be more of a franchise reboot than a direct sequel to the first G.I. Joe, and the lack of Channing Tatum suggests we’re getting an almost entirely new cast headed up by Dwayne Johnson. The new trailer retains the “Seven Nation Army” remix, and a few bits of humor are sprinkled throughout for good measure.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, and Bruce Willis. G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens June 29th.

Watch the Super Bowl Spot for G.I. JOE: RETALIATION; Plus New Action Figures Give Us a Look at Cobra Commander

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 1st, 2012 at 1:01 pm

Continuing on with the barrage of Super Bowl spots landing online today is the 30-second preview for G.I. Joe: Retaliation. I’ll admit I had absolutely zero interest in seeing this movie; that is until the first trailer was unleashed. Though I know relatively little about the Joe universe, Retaliation looks incredibly cool. This Super Bowl spot gives us a great deal of new footage, including a look at Cobra Commander, as well as some eloquent Jay-Z citation by Dwayne Johnson. I’m fairly certain the overriding theme of Retaliation is simply “badass.” In addition, we’ve got a few images of the movie tie-in action figures set to be released in anticipation of the sequel.

Hit the jump to check out the Super Bowl spot and action figure images. The film also stars Channing Tatum, Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, and Bruce Willis. G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens June 29th.

Walton Goggins Talks JUSTIFIED Season 3, Working with Daniel Day-Lewis on LINCOLN, G.I. JOE: RETALIATION and More

by Christina Radish    Posted: January 25th, 2012 at 9:31 am

Walton Goggins is one of my absolute favorite actors, and people, on the planet. After playing the always riveting and often explosive Detective Shane Vendrell on The Shield, he went on to accomplish the impossible by topping that performance with his current one as the enigmatic Boyd Crowder on the FX drama series Justified, opposite Timothy Olyphant. And when he’s not on that show, he’s mixing it up with various roles in feature films, in genres that are all over the map.

While at the TCA Winter Press Tour, Collider got to sit down with the intriguing, fascinating and super-dedicated actor for this exclusive interview about the journey that Boyd Crowder will take in Season 3, how his character has finally accepted that this is his life and his making the most of it, what his relationship with Ava (Joelle Carter) has meant to him, and how great it’s been to develop the unique and unpredictable back-and-forth that Boyd has with Raylan Givens (Olyphant). He also talked about the experience of working with someone as dedicated as Daniel Day Lewis on Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, how much fun he had on G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and how excited he is about working on Django Unchained with Quentin Tarantino, who he’s been a fan of for 20 years. Check out what he had to say after the jump, and be aware that there might be spoilers:

Channing Tatum Talks HAYWIRE and G.I. JOE: RETALIATION

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: January 10th, 2012 at 7:38 pm

With director Steven Soderbergh’s spy-action pic Haywire opening January 20th, this past weekend I got to sit down with most of the cast to talk about making the movie.  Staring MMA fighter Gina Carano as a burned spy who takes revenge against her handlers, Haywire also stars Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Michael Angarano, Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas, and Bill Paxton.  I’ve seen Haywire twice now and it’s fantastic.  On top of Carano’s star-making performance, the action scenes are some of the best I’ve seen in years.   It’s absolutely something you should see in a theater.

During my interview with Tatum we talked about how he got involved in Haywire and what excited him about the project, filming the awesome action scenes, and working with Soderbergh.  In addition, with G.I. Joe: Retaliation arriving this summer, I asked what can fans look forward to in the sequel.  Hit the jump to watch.

Paramount Will Release PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 4 This Year

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 2nd, 2012 at 11:09 am

Paramount sent out a press release today about their plans for 2012, and to the surprise of no one, the studio plans to release Paranormal Activity 4 this year.  No details about the sequel have been revealed nor do we know who will direct, write, star, or how many afternoons it will take to shoot.  The franchise has been ridiculously successful for the studio, and the most recent film grossed $202 million worldwide off a reported $5 million budget.  The people have spoken and the people like night vision ghosts.  Here’s the quote from the press release:

In 2012, Paramount’s release slate highlights include “World War Z,” a zombie thriller starring Brad Pitt and directed by Marc Forster , “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” the next installment in the global franchise starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Channing Tatum , a new chapter in the “Paranormal Activity” franchise, and “The Dictator,” starring Sacha Baron Cohen and directed by Larry Charles , the team behind “Borat.”

No release date has been announced for Paranormal Activity 4, but since the last two movies were released in late October, we can safely expect to see the movie in the same time frame.  Hit the jump for the full press release.

TOP 5: SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS Interviews, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, The Crazy Week in Trailers, Golden Globe Nods, BRIDESMAIDS’ Awards Season Chances

by Jason Barr    Posted: December 17th, 2011 at 8:19 am

Admittedly, I have fallen off of the beaten path with regards to checking out awards season contenders in the theaters this year. That said, I’m hoping to begin turning all of that around this afternoon as a matinee of director Jason Reitman’s Young Adult is currently on my Saturday itinerary. While I can’t claim to be a huge Diablo Cody fan (I tend to think her characters all sound the same…as in, exactly like Diablo Cody), I’m almost always happy with Reitman’s work. Moreover, Charlize Theron looks to be in rare comedic form (an arena she doesn’t always find herself in, but one she undoubtedly has the chops to pull off). All in all, here’s to hoping that my Young Adult screening is just the tip of my awards season iceberg. In the meantime…

…In this week’s “Top 5″ installment, you’ll find a slew of interviews for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, a number of new assets from director Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man, a recap of this crazy week in trailers, a rundown of the 69th Annual Golden Globes nods, and a light musing regarding Bridesmaids‘ awards season chances. Hit the jump for a brief recap and link to each of the above.

First Trailer for G.I. JOE: RETALIATION

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 12th, 2011 at 4:50 pm

The first trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation has gone online. While I was underwhelmed by the Entertainment Tonight sneak peek, this full trailer is actually kind of fantastic (actual trailer editors > ET editors). It’s got some stellar action, a cool story, and a chill-inducing shot featuring the White House. The story finds the Joes in deep, as the entirety of the G.I. Joe team has been killed save for a few remaining survivors. Director Jon Chu has staged some nice action sequences here, and the trailer is elevated by a nifty cut of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.”

Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Channing Tatum, Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, and Bruce Willis. G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens June 29th, 2012.

First Footage from G.I. JOE: RETALIATION Starring Dwayne Johnson

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: December 10th, 2011 at 10:11 pm

The first trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation lands on Monday, but a glimpse of footage from the film is now online. The action pic is a follow-up to 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and stars Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, Channing Tatum and Bruce Willis. While I’m trying to reserve judgment until the full trailer is online, this footage doesn’t look promising. It features plenty of explosions and a couple of groan-worthy one liners. The sequel is a bit of an overhaul from the first film, as many of the characters from the 2009 feature don’t return and Jon Chu (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) takes over the director’s chair.

Hit the jump to check out the footage, and be sure to check back Monday for the full trailer. The film also stars D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, RZA, Joseph Mazzello, Elodie Yung, and Walton Goggins. G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation opens June 29, 2012.

Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, and D.J. Cotrona Talk Character on the Set of G.I. JOE 2: RETALIATION; Plus Behind-the-Scenes Footage

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: November 1st, 2011 at 9:16 pm

Shortly after this awesome image of Dwayne Johnson in the desert, we saw a few images of Johnson with Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona on the set of G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation. The trio—playing Roadblock, Lady Jaye, and Flint—appear to be a tight-knit team in the movie.  New footage from the set shows Johnson, Palicki, and Cotrona together on location at the beach.  In between shooting, the actors spoke a bit about their characters.  Johnson calls Roadblock “the glue of the G.I. Joes.”  (Also, “a BAMF.”)  Palicki says Lady Jaye is “the intelligence of the group.”  And Cotrona… well, Cotrona is only asked about co-star Channing Tatum, who reprises his role as Duke in the sequel.

RZA (Blind Master), Ray Stevenson (Firefly),  Joseph Mazzello (Mouse), Walton Goggins (Warden Nigel James), Elodie Yung (Jinx), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow) also star, while Bruce Willis is on board as the original Joe.  Jon Chu (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) is directing the June 29, 2012 release.  Hit the jump for the clip of interviews and behind-the-scenes-footage.

New Set Photo and Video of Dwayne Johnson in G.I. JOE 2

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: October 25th, 2011 at 4:37 pm

Dwayne Johnson is apparently an avid Twitter user. A couple months ago we got our first look at the actor in character as Roadblock in G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation via his Twitter account, and today he’s given us another look at him in character through a photo and a video he shot onset. It’s not much, but he teases a major action sequence being shot near him. Furthermore, you might be able to spot a familiar face from the Collider community in the set photo.

Hit the jump to check out the image and video. Directed by Jon Chu, the film also stars Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, RZA, Joseph Mazzello, Elodie Yung, and Walton Goggins. G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation opens June 29, 2012.

Luke Evans, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson Talk THE THREE MUSKETEERS, THE HOBBIT and G.I. JOE 2

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: October 15th, 2011 at 8:35 am

With director Paul W.S. Anderson’s The Three Musketeers opening October 21, Summit Entertainment held a big press junket in London and I got the chance to head across the pond to interview the cast.  Based on Alexandre Dumas’ classic story, The Three Musketeers stars Logan Lerman, Luke Evans, Ray Stevenson, Milla Jovovich, Orlando Bloom, Christoph Waltz, Matthew Macfayden and Mads Mikkelsen.  In the reboot, “the hot-headed young D’Artagnan (Lerman) joins forces with three rogue Musketeers (MacFadyen, Evans and Stevenson). They must stop the evil Richlieu (Waltz) and face off with Buckingham (Bloom) and the treacherous Milady (Jovovich).”  And unlike many films that have been post converted for a 3D release, the Musketeers was shot in 3D and it looks great.  For more on the film, here’s eight clips.

During my interview with the Musketeers, we talked about the amazing real world locations they used in Musketeers, how did they get involved in the project, karaoke, and I asked them about future projects like The Hobbit, G.I. Joe 2 and Anna Karenina.  Hit the jump to watch.

Set Photos from G.I. JOE 2: RETALIATION Featuring Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: August 30th, 2011 at 2:12 pm

Earlier this month, we got our first look at Dwayne Johnson in character as Roadblock on the set of G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, and now some new set photos have surfaced featuring Johnson, Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona. Directed by Jon Chu (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never), the follow-up to the less-than-stellar first film features an almost entirely new cast, with Johnson playing Roadblock, Palicki taking on Lady Jaye and Cotrona set as Flint. Channing Tatum (Duke), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow) are the only actors reprising their roles from the first flick, with RZA (Blind Master), Joseph Mazzello (Mouse), Elodie Yung (Jinx), and Walton Goggins among the other new additions, as well as Mr. Bruce Willis who is in talks to play the original Joe.

First Image of Dwayne Johnson as Roadblock in G.I. JOE 2: RETALIATION

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: August 16th, 2011 at 9:00 am

Thanks to Dwayne Johnson using Twitter, we’ve got our first look at Roadblock in director Jon Chu’s (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation.  He posted the image this morning as the production just started filming.  His tweet:

1st day of shooting. 110 degrees. Bring It.

While many of you weren’t on board with the first G.I. Joe movie, I thought it was a lot of fun and what I always thought a live-action Joe movie should feel like.  Saying that, it looks like Paramount listened to the chorus, as almost the entire cast has been replaced with new actors.  But when you land Johnson, Walter Goggins, and Bruce Willis, you won’t hear me complaining.  Hit the jump for the full picture and cast list.  G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation hits theaters June 29, 2012.

Walton Goggins Joins G.I. JOE 2: RETALIATION

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: August 15th, 2011 at 7:31 pm

After The Shield signed off in 2008, Walton Goggins set off on the path to become one of the great character actors in genre fare.  Justified is the most notable example, highlighted by the recent Emmy nomination.  But Goggins’ is starting to pepper his resume with supporting roles in big summer blockbusters (at least by intention) like Predators and Cowboys & Aliens.  Next summer will follow suit now that Paramount has signed Goggins for a role in G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation.  According to Variety, Goggins will play Warden Nigel James.  Goggins is one of several new cast members in what has become more reboot than sequel—Dwayne Johnson (Roadblock), Adrianne Palicki (Lady Jaye), RZA (Blind Master), D.J. Cotrona (Flint), Joseph Mazzello (Mouse), and Elodie Yung (Jinx) are confirmed, while Bruce Willis is in talks to play Joe himself.  Channing Tatum (Duke), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow) will reprise their roles from the original.

Director Jon Chu (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never) will start shooting later this month in New Orleans, working from a script by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Zombieland).  G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation is scheduled for release on June 29, 2012.

Bruce Willis in Talks to Play Original Joe in G.I. JOE 2: RETALIATION

by Jason Barr    Posted: August 9th, 2011 at 7:31 pm

Bruce Willis is in negotiations with Paramount to join the cast of G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation. If the deal goes through, Heat Vision reports that Willis will take on the role of General Joe Colton, the man responsible for forming the original strike team in the comics (hence the name). Although I have little knowledge of the comics or Joe’s portrayal in them (a statement that probably negates my next line), I can’t help but feel as if Willis would be a piece of perfect casting for the part. He has the action/adventure chops needed to make the character believable without sacrificing the element of fun I remember gathering from the original cartoon.

If Willis joins, he will take part in a cast that already includes Channing Tatum, Dwayne Johnson, Ray Stevenson (who is playing the villain Firefly), Adrianne Palicki, Lee Byung-hun, D.J. Cotrona, and Ray Park. Jon Chu (Never Say Never) is directing the pic for Paramount. G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation will begin shooting in New Orleans later this month with its June 29, 2012 release date in mind.
