Tuesday
16th March 2004: G.I. Joe Update:
Filmforce has been in touch to advise they have been
talking to G.I. Joe screenwriter Michael Gordon. Here's
a snip "Gordon assured us that the "G.I. Joe
movie is based on the 80's Joe characters. (Duke, Scarlett,
Snake Eyes, Destro, Baroness, Storm Shadow, Cobra, etc.)
Period." In other words, there will be no Joes
based on the classic 1960s characters, as DiBonaventura
whom Gordon praised as "a master producer"
seemed to suggest." Visit Filmforce
for the rest.
