The Hashtag Show has posted several plot details from the upcoming G.I. Joe solo movie; Snake Eyes.
Fans should keep in mind to take this with a grain of salt since their other exclusive article for G. I. Joe 3, didn’t exactly panned out.
Nevertheless, let us take a look at what the rumor says:
“Paramount is hoping to capture a little more 80’s kid nostalgia with the film, which will be made working off a script from Evan Spiliotopoulos. Snake Eyes, which is eyeing a late-spring 2019 start of production, will focus on the origin story of the famed GI Joe warrior who finds the family and training he desperately needs amongst a clan of Japanese warriors who must simultaneously thwart a terrorist attack.”
Regarding the characters and the plot:
“It was recently reported that Ray Park, who played Snake Eyes in the two previous GI Joe films, would not be returning for the origin film as the studio is looking for a younger actor, preferably someone in their early twenties. When we meet this new, younger Snake Eyes, it’ll be as a street fighter in Peru. Driven by the desire to avenge the death of his father, Snake Eyes is apparently a man on the move until he ends up in Japan, where he and his best friend, Tommy, aka Storm Shadow, will begin their training with the Arashikage Clan. The film will see at least 3 of the clan’s legendary masters as they train Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow as Hard Master, Soft Master and Blind Master are all set to appear. Also present at the Arashikage compound is the film’s female lead, Akita. In comic continuity, Junko Akita was an apprentice and lover of Storm Shadow; here she is the head of security and will be a love interest for Snake Eyes.”
Cobra would also make an appearance in the form of a new character made just for the movie:
“Of course if it’s a GI Joe movie, Cobra must somehow be present and in this instance their presence is made manifest in what appears to be a character created for the film: Kenta. Kenta is revealed to Storm Shadow’s brother who has long since left his family, the Arashikage, and joined with a rival ninja clan, the Kurayami. It is Kenta who attempts to lure Snake Eyes away from the Arashikage and into a terrorist plot being devised by Cobra. We won’t delve too deeply into spoiler territory here, but we can see what side of things Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow will take and this film certainly seems to set the stage for one of the great comic book rivalries.”
Additional production details include facts such as an all-Asian cast, and 9 main roles (leads and supporting).
Robert Schwentke, director of RED (Starring Bruce Willis) and Insurgent has been announced to be in talks to be the director of G.I.Joe Snake Eyes.

Yes, No, Maybe?
Bleh.
I wish G.I. Joe would get an early 2010s Marvel movie treatment with a fairly accurate origins story and spin-up that gets people stoked for a series of sequels. Adults get enough nostalgia and lore references to be excited, kids get great action movies that instill interest in going back and reading the comics and maybe picking up some 3.75" figures again. That's what this franchise needs.
I don't know what o think about this.
The first RED was really good. If he can create that type of movie for GIJoe I woiuld be happy.
Anyone see the trailers for Bumblebee movie? Those Transformers has all their classic G1 designs. Why not G.I. Joe?
What G.I. Joe need is a live action TV Web series and has to be set in the 80s so the Joes, Cobra that include the Dreadnoks will have their classic ARAH designs. You Joe fans will be happy for that. I bet many of you Joe fans didn't like the way it look in two live action G.I. Joe films, I didn't like it. I prefer the designs of the characters that look back in the 80s like the toys action figures, in the comics and the cartoons as well. The only favorite characters I like are everyone of 1982-1986 mainly and I also like everyone of 1987, 1988-89. I still like the 90s G.I. Joes mostly the 1990 and 1991. 1992 G.I. Joes were ok. Not let's focus the the 80s G.I. Joes especially 1982-1985 that is good for a live action TV series set in the 80s then think about the G.I. Joes of 1986 and 1987 include 1988-1989.
It doesn't matter if the new generation of kids are into electronics that does not mean they can't make new toys anymore. Toys are now for everyone of all age. What do you think? G.I. Joe need video game apps on iphone and ipads so the kids can look at them when they get on the iphone and ipad.
Those Divergent movies were terrible, in my opinion. But that probably falls more on the writer/producer, not necessarily the director.
Well, at least it wouldn't be directed by John Chu.
I enjoyed watching ROC and Retaliation. However, as G.I.Joe movies, not so much, because I would have wanted to see the Joes as they looked in the cartoon and 80s uniforms.
However, as a straight up action movie with no ties to G.I.Joe, I quite liked them.
Here's hoping they do the same approach as they are using for Bumblebee.
