2009’s G.I. Joe was directed by Stephen Sommers. It was basically disliked by critics overall, but it made about $300 million worldwide ($150 domestic). Money talks, so G.I. Joe 2 is going to happen. Apparently Sommers will be back helming the sequel.
The Wrap is reporting that Sommers is confirmed as the director for the second film, which already has a script in from Zombieland guys Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. The Wrap has learned that the studio likes the draft they’ve got, which could mean things will be going into production, with Sommers in charge, sooner than you were expecting.
I’ve been a G.I. Joe fan since I was a kid. So I was pretty excited for 2009’s movie. Did I like it? Not that much. Did it make my eyes bleed because it was bad? Nope. Personally, it was just stupid, but fun at the same time. Just plain entertaining and ridiculous. Do I want a sequel? Yes, why not? I want to just go in and watch what Sommers and the team, do for the sequel. Hopefully, Sienna Miller is back. To me, she was by far, the best part of the film; hotness.
You guys want GI2? What story do you want Sommers to pursue on the sequel? What do you want to stay the same? What do you want changed?
