GI Joe producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has spilled some of his guts about the film with the good people over at MTV. Check it out.
“We are in post-production, and it’s looking really good,” promised super-producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently, marveling over some of the early “G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra” scenes he’s been working on recently with director Stephen Sommers. “It’s going to be really fun, and it’s going to be big.” “There is going to be two or three really large sequences in it that are really going to blow people away,”
di Bonaventura said that he and Summers are cutting their movie with both newbies and loyalists in mind. “I think the core fan base that read the comic book and watched the animated shows are going to feel like we really honored their experience,” he promised.
I am always glad to hear good things about a film that I want to rule. I will not lie to you, it gives me warm fuzzies, and fills me with hope. Then reason kicks in, I remember that I was born to die, and that di Bonaventura will always say good things – because his money’s on the table.
As skeptical as I am about the upcoming GI Joe film, I still want it to be good. It would please me greatly if the film kicked ass. I certainly hope this is the case and anxiously wait for my time to see the film and give it a verdict of my own.
