Possible Delay In Principal Photography For G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes?

Posted on March 31, 2019 at 1:48 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

It has been a while since we last heard from the production side of G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes. However, the news today isn’t exactly a positive one.

Industry sources tells us that the budget has been approved for director Robert Schwentke‘s own movie project; Seneca: On The Creation Of Earthquakes.

His movie was in limbo for quite a while without funding and with this approval, he has decided to immediately move forward with the biopic. Info we heard suggests that G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes may take a back seat for the time being. Without any changes to commitment, Mr. Schwentke will resume his directorial position once Seneca is completed.

He will be flying to Morocco for Seneca and will return to United States later to resume filming of Snake Eyes.

Nevertheless, the original release date for the Snake Eyes movie remains as it was. Seneca is now planned to release on the same year as well.

We await for any official word regarding the matter.

    Just stop trying to make a dang movie. Get a Live action Netflix series going or a dang animated Netflix series going . Evidently GI Joe movies are cursed.

    Find a new director.
    I don't think any of us are overly attached to him directing.

    An unfortunate delay and it probably messes with Hasbro's timetable also.
    A smart tactic would be to make the line, then store it in a warehouse until the movie is ready for release. Extra cost? Sure but the timing would be accurate and would avoid the situation retailers faced with Retaliation.

    Paramount/Hasbro are likely not going to be happy at all about this, though the dude's biopic he wants to do is likely a very small and short project so the delay would be small probably if any. We haven't heard and casting news or such, so wonder if this delay was already known.

    Hasbro/Paramount could probably ditch the director but that possibly means they would have to pay him something to break whatever contract he signed to direct.

    It is also possible that he had a clause to excuse himself to pursue this particular project if greenlit built into his contract as well.

    Either way the possibility of an additional delay is never good.

    Hearing this, I'm have decided that the only way I'll believe this movie is going to be made, is when I see it on the big screen.

    Why not give the movie to Mark Cheng? He has deep familiarity with the source material, his oeuvre is in the genre, and he has Hama on speed dial.

    Plus if they are filming in Asia his ethnic background will make it a smoother process overall.

    Russel Mulcahy would be another good choice if he is still up for doing features.

    Except that once all the (toy) products are shipped to the stores, Paramount will delay the movie.
    “This movie sucks, let’s postpone the release date to do 3D conversion. We’ll get more money from the overseas market with a 3D.”

    Yeah, and after we lose 2 hrs of our lives that we won’t get back. During the ending credits we all sit there and say...”they actually made this piece of $#!+?”

    I'v been a Joe fan from day one. But hasbro just wants everything to be Transformers. I'm sorry every one. But Come On. There's not going to be a new Joe movie. Hasbro has killed g.i. joe off. If hasbro cared about g.i. joe & it's fans we would be waiting for the 6th or 7 g.i. joe movie to come out we would All be talking about the new g.i. joe cartoon. WHY Am i the only one that see's it's ALL B.S. Hasbro wants every thing to be TF.

    ^ This
    It's been awhile. The Joe brand is like that neighbor who has a classic trans am in his front yard on blocks. Ill believe it will get fixed when I see it drive down the road.
