We have received a press release from IDW regarding their latest G.I. Joe initiative with Rob Liefeld taking the charge.

“Two words: ‘BUCKET LIST,’” says Liefeld, “One more word: ‘ICON.’ Snake Eyes is Wolverine, Deadpool, and Spider Man rolled into one amazing character for an entire generation of fans that thrilled to his adventures in comics and cartoons and hung on his every toy release! My parents drove me all over the county to get me G.I. JOE action figures as a kid. These were my first and most favorite toys. Working with Hasbro and all my friends at IDW has been a blast so far. I can’t wait to get this work out into the public! If you enjoyed my recent Marvel work,” Liefeld continues,” this will match or exceed it!”

Titled as Snake Eyes: Deadgame, the comic book will hit the shelves in 2020. You can read more about it, after the jump. High resolution cover art are attached with this news post as well.

We have finally received official production info from the principal photography of G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.

Yes; the movie will go ahead, BUT without a Director or an Assistant Director currently being attached to the project. Judging by the following info, it is hard to predict whether Robert Schwentke is able to commit to the film or not; as he is away to produce his pet-project.

The filming for G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes will take place from October 15th to December 9th, 2019 in British Columbia / Vancouver.

Paramount will spend US$ 20 million for the crew and locations mentioned above.

Industry newcomer Grackle Bird Productions Ltd. will handle the production in Canada. The company is not even a month old as it was just established this June 25th (perhaps specifically for Snake Eyes?).

Jeff G. Waxman will act as the producer for the movie. Mr. Waxman is most notable for his duties on the famous John Wick series.

Adrienne Sol is the production manager for the movie and is noted for War Of The Planet Of The Apes and Man Of Steel.

Laura Livingstone will act at the Production Coordinator for the movie and is known for her work on Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, X-Men: The Last Stand and Godzilla 2014.

This just in, folks! An info we received suggests that the production for G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes will take a small break even after the recently revised release date.

However, G.I. Joe 3 is currently being reconsidered as the next best option.

We cannot clarify the exact reason for this sudden decision and we do not have an official word regarding the matter other than the friendly source of info which also brought us the news of Snake Eyes as well as the momentary departure of director Robert Schwentke (which both turned out to be true).

If this rumor is indeed true, Paramount may revive the buried G.I. Joe: Ever Vigilant script by Josh Appelbaum, Aaron Berg and André Nemec.

Until we receive an official word, it is best to treat this news as a rumor. Hopefully, we may hear more during SDCC 2019.

Update 6/23/2019: Our investigation confirmed what we deduced yesterday. The schedule is indeed for the sequel of the Netflix movie. However, G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes now has a production office established in Canada. It’s only a matter of time until we hear our first official news from the set.

Original Post:

British Colombia and Vancouver filming news site Hollywood North claims that G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes principal photography will take place from September 23rd to December 19th in Vancouver.

The site also denotes that the movie will be filmed under the working title ‘Christmas Chronicles 2’.

However, it is best to take this info with a grain of salt, since the original source of this news is the official website of the Directors Guild of Canada.

According to the DGC site, the Canadian production manager for the movie is Jessica Cheung; who also happens to be the assistant production manager of the 2018 Netflix movie ‘The Christmas Chronicles’.

Although Snake Eyes is slated to film in Vancouver, we do not believe that this info is correct. However, the schedule does fall in line with the earlier known info regarding the revised Fall/Autumn filming schedule.

The info would have been much clearer if the sheet actually contained the name of the director, much like other movies on the list.

IDW Publishing has sent us a press release announcing a brand new G.I. Joe comic book series from September 2019 onward.

Writer Paul Allor and artist Chris Evenhuis are working on this new series; which takes us to a Cobra-led dystopia.

“This story is inspired both by modern warfare – where non-state actors fight vastly overpowered militaries to a perpetual standstill – and World War II, where Great Britain’s SOE recruited civilians behind enemy lines.”

“Old-school G.I. Joe fans will absolutely love it and find it true to everything G.I. Joe stands for, and new folks will be attracted to a deeply character-driven tale of hope and humanity, and about the power of resilience in an increasingly unraveling world.”

It’s a quirky title, but that’s actually what this new post is all about. Among all the reinvigorated buzz surrounding our beloved franchise, actress Sienna Miller, who played the role of Anastasia “Baroness” DeCobray on G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra, just found out that there is a second G.I. Joe live action movie and she was not asked to reprise her character.

“I’m sorry,” she said to the reporter from Forbes. “You saw both of them? Wait, there was a second one? Well, they didn’t bring me back.”

… and she went on to talk about her experience with the first movie:

“There are roles in those kinds of things that would be fun and things that I think my kid would like. I just haven’t been offered that yet. I would be open to it. I know what I can do now, and I know what I can’t do,” she mused. “I shouldn’t have played a villain in a comic book because I’m just not that villainous or tall or strong. I am internally, of course, but I couldn’t fire a gun without blinking. I’m not a particularly physically threatening presence. The whole thing was a bit of a disaster from start to finish.”

What do you think of her portrayal of Baroness? Would you like to see her back in a future installment? Sound-off on the thread associated with this news post.
