I’m glad that he’s coming back, the first GI Joe was entertaining as hell. Sure, it was campy, but so was the cartoon. There was a rumor that Stephen Sommers got canned after the first one got bad feedback from the test screenings. If they really want to get rid of somebody, get rid of Channing Tatum. Even for an intentional whacky film, his acting still sucked. Find a different Duke Hauser, and nobody would complain!

Another bonus for Paramount is that Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be back with a bigger role, and after the buzz around his action-sequences in Inception, this can only mean more marketing opportunities for Paramount.

From theWrap, “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” grossed more than $300 million worldwide last year on a reported production budget of $175 million, not including prints and advertising.”
