Jon Chu Expresses His Interest For A Transformers – Jem – G. I. Joe Crossover Movie
Speaking at the Press Conference for the World Premiere of Hasbro’s Jem And The Holograms live action movie, director Jon Chu expressed his interest in a crossover movie featuring Jem Universe, Joe Universe and the Transformers Universe.
“I mean, I’m a huge Transformers fan, I would totally be down for that, but I really want to build my universe with Jem – but you could have Jem, G.I. Joe and Transformers collide – one epic blockbuster! Of course, any chance to direct a really fun movie like Transformers would be great, but right now just focused on the world that we’re creating now.”
Of course the director is not unfamiliar with action movies as he was the director of G. I. Joe Retaliation back in 2013. Idea for a crossover movie set in the Hasbro Cinematic Universe comes and goes time-to-time but without any solid confirmation. Unit: E initiative also saw an untimely demise four years ago.
What do you think of this potential crossover? Let us know on the thread attached to this news post.
As for the Jem fans of HISSTANK, hope you enjoy the new movie. Guess it’s “Show Time, Synergy!”.

Creating GI Joe – A New Art Book Kickstarter Launched.
HissTank member Dansjoes has launched a kickstarter for a new book of art, production sketches and tons of insider information on the creation of G.I. Joe A Real American Hero titled “3.75 Inch Joe: The Special Forces Team that forged an American Hero” book series, Volume 1!
The first book in the series, “3.75 Inch Joe: The Special Forces Team that forged an American Hero (Volume 1)” is an 80 page, 9”X10” library of designs and stories ranging from 1982-1994, including some unproduced concepts! This fully colored book will be printed on 100# paper in a Soft Perfect Bind format with a visible spine like a graphic novel.
Although there have been many books written about G.I. Joe®, what makes “3.75 Inch Joe: The Special Forces Team that forged an American Hero” series unique is the fact that the information shared within the book comes from exclusive interviews with former employees who worked on the G.I. Joe® brand. Some of the things to expect include:
• The inspiration and influences behind the different figures and vehicles straight from the designers’ point of view…
• Alternate names for figures and vehicles pulled from Larry Hama’s dossiers or from the original concepts themselves…
• Insider stories from former employees ranging from Marketing to Engineering regarding the changes that occurred during the design process…
• Conceptual designs and photographs that will show the progression and different stages of creating a figure or vehicle. This includes concept pencils and inks, sculpture sheets, color studies, color presentation art, models, and much much more!
