By way of Mr. Albert Ching of Comic Book Resources comes word that D.J. Caruso, Director of films such as Eagle Eye and Disturbia is in talks to take over the next film in the franchise.
If this scenario does pan out, this’ll be the 3rd Director on the title in as many films. As G.I.Joe 3 is slated for a release in 2016, we can only hope that something concrete is finally put in to place.
Albert jokes in the article of the possible inclusion of Shia LaBeouf in the film…Let’s hope not, as I could just imagine if that were the case – as if millions of G.I.Joe Fans voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.
What are your thoughts on this latest development? Sound off after the break!

Hmmm ...no idea. Anyone like this guy's work? I am not familiar.
Hopefully ANY news is good gnus with Gary Gnu!
JediJones says
Makes more sense that they'd pick their third C-list director in a row instead of someone like Martin Campbell.
No idea why it's "cool" to hate Shia now. The bandwagon effect where suddenly everyone in geekdom is supposed to hate the Star Wars prequels, Shia, X-Men 3, Brett Ratner, etc. is beyond annoying. Shia was good in Transformers and Indiana Jones. He's a much more engaging actor than whoever the lunk was that played Flint in the last crappy movie. He wouldn't be right for Flint but maybe one of the less grizzled Joes like Lifeline or Scoop.
Cardinaltrooper says
Maybe LaBeauf as Chuckles or Scoop.
Guy directed a couple of episodes of the Shield, hearing talk is better than hearing none.
Xerofall says
Eagle Eye was a great movie. So that'll be a-okay with me.
Steevy Maximus says
Yeah, I'm leaning towards the actual script and the production design being greater factors than the actual director at this stage.
