|
11:38

I will have pictures of some of the production art up soon. |

|
Have clear pic of new Flagg, animated version., |
|
11:45

Didnt show as much prod art here for resolute than they did at Joecon, very abbreviated Resolute coverage. Â They have already moved onto movie, have about 45 mins left. |
|
11:45
|
DiBonnaventura is speaking. |
|
11:46
|
Talking about how they want to keep connection to old, bring it to new audience. |
|
11:47
|
Movie is unique due to there being multiple threaded story lines, there is no singular good/vs/evil situation. Â Baroness/Destro, Snake/Storm, etc etc. Â And more. |
|
11:47
|
Larry Hamma will have a speaking part in movie. |
|
11:48
|
Hamma did rip the movie guys about directions they wanted to go, and they listened to him when they could. |
|
11:50
|
Rise of Cobra was chosen because they need to introduce these characters to people and kids that have never known them. Â So you will see Joes and Cobra exist before they were either. |
|
11:50
|
Showing stock image of Quaid/Flint. |
|
11:50
|
His role was expanded because he did such a good job and nailed it. |
|
11:51
|
Showing power suit duke stock image. Â Saying he’s great, etc. |
|
11:51
|
Dibonnaventura referenced the black suit on duke as battle armor, |
|
11:52
|
Showing Snake Eyes, storm and snake eyes get to flex their muscles. Â Ray Park – suit was really uncomfortable. |
|
11:52
|
Ray park isnt here, that was said thru Dibonna |
|
11:53
|
They are just showing the stock images in the battle suits, we;ve all seen, etc. |
|
11:53
|
Marlon Wayans is both funny and serious, not pure comic relief, plays serious role as Ripcord. |
|
11:54
|
Mr Echo (sorry dude, you have a long name), as Heavy Duty, they wanted him to have the BIG guns. Â They got it. |
|
11:55
|
Showing Destro, they showed the one in front of the Mars shield on the door. Â Not a pic of the original actor. |
|
11:55
|
Showed storm shadow and baroness pics. Â Storm kicks ass. Â Baroness has lots of torn relationships, that tear her in all directions. |
|
11:56
|
Duke and Baroness at one point were  engaged. |
|
11:56
|
 Duke leaves her at alter.  Shes pissed, you can see where that goes. |
|
11:56
|
Ripcord and scarlett have romantic interaction as well. |
|
11:57
|

|
Action scenes will not be many 4 minute battles. Â There will be 4-5 major ones, lasting for 10-15 each. Â BIG battles. |
|
12:00
|
Wanted it to be character driven, so that you know and love them as fans, and new people come in and do the same thing. Â |
|
12:01
|
This is Larry Hamma talking, the last 2 sentences. |
|
12:01
|
Producers agreeing. |
|
12:02
|
People are leaving the panel. Â Asshats. Â All they wanted were the pics, I feel dirty. |
|
12:02
|
No pics of vehicles. |
|
12:03
|
Talking about the power suits, how it will enable car chases without a car |
|
12:04
|
Quaid – Hawk – sorry, mistyped earlier. |
|
12:05
|
people are asking about the international promotion of the movie, making it an international force, etc |
|
12:06
|
they are saying while there are international elements, it is still GI Joe, and the focus is on Joe/Ripcord, and their team mates (and snake eyes, of course)/ Â And they are US military. |
|
12:08
|
There is a Snake Eyes/Scarlett issue. Â But due to him not talking, they couldnt develop that as much (in real life), so its set up where Rip Cord digs Scarlett, and Snake Eyes keeps c-blocking subtlely |
|
12:08
|
And eventualyy Rip cord asks Scarlett – Are you 2 a couple? etc. Â So its there. |
|
12:10
|
Resolute will be out in spring. Â Classic/RAH will continue up until then. Â Then the movie toys kick in, and almost eveyrhing else stops until the fall or early 2010. Â Then they relaunch the various joe elements inbetween movies 1 aND 2, like 3/34th, etc. Â Similar to how they are now putting out Transformer Universe and collector stuff now, post TF1 movie. |
|
12:11
|
There will be tons of kids stuff, and various play angles for movie stuff. Â But, as a collector, you will have something as well, plenty. Â — Aaron Archer. |
|
12:12
|
Cobra Commander will be in the movie. |
|
12:13
|
The guy in the cobra commander costume just rose his hand, crowd laughs. |
|
12:14
|
reolute will not be watered down for mass market i |
|
12:14
|
if it gets picked up and expanded after initial roll out it would be a “after the kids go to bed” show |
|
12:15
|
talking about IDW/. Â They work well with licensed properties and tie ins. Â have many other than Joe and TF. Â Did well with TF. Â Will be working closely with Hasbro related to Joe classic and movie angles in upcoming year. |
|
12:15
|
I cant get up and ask any questions guys, i have a 12 pound laptop on my crotch. |
|
12:16
|
Panel is wrapping up. |
|
12:17
|
It was about vehicles. |
|
12:17
|
There will be a lot, cant say which ones. Â A LOT emphasized. Â Many from Resolute will be based off movie designs, so they tie together in that respect. |
|
12:18
|
Showing resolute 1 minute promo again. |
|
12:20
|
And thats it. Im gonna resize these pics and will be back online in a bit. Â END. Â Later! |
