MTV Movies Blog caught up with Lorenzo di Bonaventura recently and interviewed him about GI Joe 2, the sequel to GI Joe Rise of Cobra from 2009. It turns out, the sequel may start shooting next spring for a release in summer 2012, also the GI Joe Real American Hero 30th Anniversary. Bonaventura hasn’t said whether the cast from Rise of Cobra will return for the sequel:
MTV: So then you’d start shooting when?di Bonaventura: We’d probably start next spring.
MTV: Are Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the rest of the main cast going to return?
di Bonaventura: We haven’t defined it yet. We’re gonna keep that under wraps for the moment. They all did great and we liked them all. It’s hard to manage as many characters as we tried. It would make life a little easier to have a few less. It’d be a hard decision to lose anybody, because they all did great.
As far as bringing Larry Hama onboard he hasn’t been brought onboard yet. The crew will probably finish up the 1st draft of the script, and give it to him for review, like they did with the 1st movie.
With the success of movies such as Avatar in 3D, MTV, asked if GI Joe 2 will go 3D:
MTV: Have there been any conversations about doing the sequel in 3-D?di Bonaventura: No, I mean we’re still working on getting the script. I’d definitely be open to it, but that’s Paramount’s decision. But myself and whoever the director is would have a big say in that. But at this point, we haven’t gotten into that conversation.
So who will be the director? Who will return? Would you like the sequel to be 3D?

less characters? there were only 6 Joes, minus Hawk and Cover Girl, and 4 Cobras. how many f'ing less characters can there be? this guy really has no f'ing clue what makes G.I. Joe tick.

Cool maybe they will get rid of Breaker, Heavy Duty, Wayanes, Tatum and Hawk, goodietwoshoes baroness and dump Ramstien Cobra Commander
Keep Storm Shadow (in his hood more this time and without Tommy Hilfiger Ninja business attire), Snake Eyes either in his V1 masked goggle visor or the V2 With no lips and for godsakes no stupid body muscle suit...Make baroness evil as hell and find someone else to do her part add more war/battle scenes with actual vehicles (non CGI garbage) and FIRE SOMMERS
Then we can expect better things!...

I'm getting sick of these f***ing reboots every five minutes. F**k Spiderman, f*** Superman, f*** them all. You can't have a reboot five minutes after the first movie of a new franchise came out. F*** reboots with a cactus turned sideways!

Superman Returns is still the worst fucking movie I've ever scene in the theather, even worse then RoC. That movie was so bad I almost walked out. If I didn't ride with a friend, I would have.

Looks like we are getting one giant sized reboot with an extra helping of lets all pretend nothing came before.
Who knows maybe we'll get a real director this time.
