We have received a press release issued to Canadian theaters as promotional material for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins movie.

While we have seen almost all the details mentioned, one particular bit of info caught our eyes:

“Story by Evan Spiliotopoulos

Screenplay by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Joe Shrapnel, and Anna Waterhouse”

Up until now, we’ve only seen Mr. Spiliotopoulos on the credits list for the movie’s script. But this new press release issued two weeks after the original press release on May 14th, also credits scriptwriters Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse.

Originally, the scriptwriting duo was hired to pen a follow-up movie to Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. It is likely that some of the re-shoot elements added following several test screenings may have been a direct result of Mr. Shrapnel and Ms. Waterhouse amending the original story for the movie. It is also likely that connections to the next G.I. Joe movie may have been added to Snake Eyes movie as well.

This isn’t the first time this happened to a Hasbro movie. In fact, history has repeated itself almost exactly. Back in 2018, test screenings for Transformers: Bumblebee generated a negative audience reaction due to its association with the ‘Bayverse’. Lindsey Beer joined the original writer Christina Hodson to amend the story for re-shoots and turned the script from a prequel to a reboot. New elements were added for future movies for a ‘brand new storytelling universe’ (Brian Goldner’s words).

Are we going to get a surprise on Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins? Only time will tell.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins will hit Canadian theaters on July 23rd, 2021.

We have received additional images of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins Movie Titans Line which includes simple 12-inch toys of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

These figures are mostly targeted towards the budget market and crash-and-bash play patterns.

Surprisingly, the figures seem to have more range of motion than other Titan Figures and the swords come with their own sheaths; which you can attach to the back of each figure.

Several international theater chains informed us that Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins movie has been pushed back to mid-August from its late-July release date.

• United Kingdom (including Ireland), which originally planned to release the movie on July 23rd has shifted the date to August 20th, 2021.
• France will now see it on August 18th as opposed to its original July 22nd release date.
• Russia will release the movie on August 19th and Sweden follows UK’s footsteps to release on August 20th.

There is no clear reason for this shift, but we believe it is due to various COVID restrictions during this ghastly pandemic period.

Please note that this shift does not affect theaters in the United States or other countries.

Speaking of theaters, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins trailer which we saw not too long ago is showcasing the IMAX version of the same along with the IMAX release of A Quiet Place: Part II.
