New G.I. Joe Resolute Animation for 2009 – HOLY CRAP

Posted on June 28, 2008 at 11:44 am by Tony_Bacala under G.I. Joe Resolute

Hasbro Marketing 2009 Sneak Peak and 2008 Exclusives Panel

Part 1: New G.I. Joe Animation for 2009.

G.I. Joe Resolute

Adult themed, PG-13
Highly detailed animation
Designed to bring adult fans back into the market
10 5 minute episodes, 1 10 minute season finale
No distribution decided upon yet.
Could be webisodes, could be tv special, could be DVD, or all 3.
Starts in first quarter 2009
NO LASERS. NO PARACHUTING.
Will have deaths.
Little to no blood (but, from what we’ve seen, that won’t matter)
Focus on core early characters.
No Cobra La.

Producers: Sam Register
Director: Jaoquim De Santos
Writer: Warren Ellis
Lead Animator: Dave Johnson

1 minute promo animation shown. Breakdown:

Duke and Roadblock are running through the jungle being chased by cobra troopers. Being shot at. You see Roadblock from behind, running, he stops, turns around, and says “You want some of this!? Come on, come on!” and unloads his machine gun into the camera. Heavy sound of loud powerful gunfire, shell casings fly everywhere.

They continue on and take cover inside what looks like a Cobra bunker. Had a cobra symbol on building. Duke radios in for backup, says the LZ is hot. They return fire back and forth with the Cobra Troopers outside, who are moving in using real world cover fire formations.

Then, we pan up, and see the action from above, when you hear a sword bling. A Cobra Trooper looks up, and he sees Snake Eyes dropping down right on his head. Snake Eyes then proceeds to kick ass one by one using hand to hand combat and sword play.

We pan back into Duke and Roadblock, you hear grunts and bones cracking outside, and Duke asks “What the hell is going on out there?” Emphasis on “Hell”. Pan back to Snake Eyes, who tosses one of his smaller knives/stars across the field at a trooper, lands right in the middle of his helmet, he falls. (Don’t show the entry, but you get the point. Fling, pan, hear the pop, head’s looking up, falls slowly, etc).

Snake eyes then goes one on one with the last Trooper, flips him over, takes out his sword, thrusts down into the Trooper’s chest, and TURNS IT. Emphasis on the kill. Stands up, puts sword back in its holder.

Duke and Roadblock come outside, and see all the Troopers dead. He gives a “whooo” type whistle. Roadblock then says “Ninja? I didn’t know we had a Ninja.” END SCENE.

This story will not be part of the 60 minute story in 2009. It is a stand alone scene they did to show the new tone of the series and what could be done animation and story wise.

They played it 3 times, and the crowd exploded every time. It really was what you’ve been waiting for from these childhood toy lines as an adult. As they described it in the panel, while you were playing with these toys as a kid, or even watching the shows and reading the comics back then, what we saw today is what we THOUGHT we saw back then. And what we expect, and why the new versions of the old stuff doesn’t play with us now. But, this new direction, PG-13 based adult themed entertainment, should fill that gap, and will be focused upon in the upcoming years, for Joe and all brands it fits with. This GI Joe project is however the first of the new direction for Hasbro.

Characters shown:

Duke
Snake Eyes – Goggles
Tunnel Rat
Gung Ho – No chest out
Lady Jaye
Scarlett
Storm Shadow – mask, hood, mix between 2 styles.

Cobra Commander, Destro, Baroness confirmed. Lady Jaye more like a Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica type role. Not major player. Cobra Commander is ruthless. Not a clown. Emphasized several times.

Cobra Commander being played by 80s cartoon voice of Tripwire, Charlie Adler.

Ninja moves based on real world techniques.

Real guns, real bullets. No parachuting out of planes right before they blow up. People will die. They said they thought about sniping a guy in a parachute on his way down who actually did make it out of a plane in time.

No direct benchmark for success, will include overall promotion, hits, feedback, news coverage, ratings, eventual DVD sales if sold, etc. But XYZ product making XYZ money doesn’t need to happen to continue on, its a brand promotion tool.

Entertainment being done first, and well, to stand on it’s own, with product to follow, rather than the reverse. This is first outing with that philosophy.

SHOWED A NEW FLAGG. Updated version, crowd applauded. 2 forward runways in front, all same sticker like applications, and updated but similar rest of body. (Animated version only)

Also, they specifically showed the morgue interior, from the FLAGG. Apparently that will be used a lot.

BOTTOM LINE: AWESOME. WHAT EVERY JOE FAN HAS ALWAYS WANTED.

HASBRO: – MORE PLEASE. (And do it for Transformers too).

    Just got into the hotel and had a chance to walk around. The convention hall is massive and the Para Drop Location is going to be killer.

    Just a word to the wise, Do not use the Super Shuttle Bus to the hotel unless everybody in the bus is going to the Hotel. It took 2 1/2 hours to get to the Hotel Via the Bus. In a cab it would have taken 30 minutes and $15.00 extra. Well worth the extra cash.

    Not much to report on yet but stick around all week long for the best coverage on the net!
