Henry Golding Talks About Japanese Influence In Snake Eyes, Robert Schwentke, And Test Screening

Posted on November 5, 2020 at 9:00 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

In two separate interviews, actor Henry Golding has discussed the Japanese influence in Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins and his experience in working with director Robert Schwentke.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Mr. Golding elaborated on his statement regarding the early test screening of the movie; which took place inside a 300-seat screening room in Los Angeles.

“We had our own corners of the cinema because you need to go through the processes. You need to see it and test it and get a reaction and notes from everybody.”

Regarding the story:

“I think the heart of the story really is who Snake is and his journey as a person, really. Understanding his motivations. I can’t give away too much, but it really focuses on the one person instead of having 20 people on screen and understanding background. We start from the beginning. And, hopefully, this launches an amazing franchise.”

He also talked about the Japanese influence towards the movie.

“Robert is a huge Japanese cinephile, everything from [Akira] Kurosawa to just the phenomenal Spaghetti Westerns of samurai movies. He is so hooked into that history and we see some of those scenes. With some of the fight scenes there are some chimbara sequences (Japanese sword-fighting). A lot of attention to cultural detail was put into this movie. There are not a lot of movies that are allowed to film in Japan and we went to some amazing, amazing places. The authenticity is there.”

Henry Golding stated that Paramount was cooperative with the opinions of the cast and crew.

“All the producers at Paramount really listened to my opinion, the opinion of others, and I think that’s why it’s going to be so special. It’s definitely been a challenge in creating something fresh and new, but I think we definitely achieved it.”

Update: Hasbro Applies For Snake Eyes Movie, Video Game, And Merchandise Trademarks In UK And US

Posted on November 4, 2020 at 12:05 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Following their trademark application for a Snake Eyes toyline, Hasbro has applied for three new trademarks at the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office.

The applications are filed under:

  • Class 41: usually applied for Motion Pictures.
  • Class 9: usually applied for Video Games.
  • Class 16: usually applied for Merchandise such as stationary.

The most interesting filing is the ‘Class 9’ application. While it is a blanket filing for all things digital (not including a movie), the classification in question is commonly used for video games. With Operation Blackout released and a possible collaboration with Fortnite looming in the horizon, it is likely that we may see some sort of a digital merchandise as a Snake Eyes Movie tie-in.

Update 11/04/2020: Following their applications in UK, Hasbro has applied for the same at United States Patent & Trademark Office.

  • Trademark ID 90287212: Motion Pictures.
  • Trademark ID 90287202: Video Games.
  • Trademark ID 90287206: Merchandise such as stationary.

Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins Roleplay Sword Revealed

Posted on October 28, 2020 at 4:03 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Cosplay and Halloween costume website Pure Costumes has revealed the Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins Roleplay Sword by Disguise Costumes.

This sword may not look the same on the big screen; since this item seems to be a repaint of the same sword from the G.I. Joe: Retaliation line (which in turn is a repaint of the sword from G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra).

Official Description:

“When you add this sword to your costume, you’ll look like a real life ninja! If you loved the prequel movie all about Snake Eyes, you’ll absolutely love this costume! Practice your sword skills and get ready to fight!”

You can check out details of other costume products from the movie, after the jump.

Hasbro Applies For Snake Eyes Toy Trademark In UK

Posted on October 23, 2020 at 4:09 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Hasbro has applied for the Snake Eyes trademark at the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office.

There are some interesting details to take away from this particular registration:

First of all, this is the first G.I. Joe related trademark to be registered in UK since 2012. Previously, a similar trademark was registered by Hasbro UK titled as G.I. Joe: Retaliation for the distribution of the toyline by the same name. Secondly, instead of Hasbro UK, Hasbro US has applied for this new mark in United Kingdom and thus indicating a direct involvement.

This also marks the official distribution of G.I. Joe toys (at least the Snake Eyes movie related ones) in UK since the filing comes under the category of Toys, games and playthings.

Additionally, this might be the first official indication of Snake Eyes movie toys other than the leaked Classified Series codenames MV Tarantula (Snake Eyes), MV Scorpion (Storm Shadow) and MV Lady Bug (Akkiko).

Complete list of official details:

  • Trademark: Snake Eyes
  • Trademark number: UK00003539159
  • Goods and services: Class 28 – Toys, games and playthings.
  • Owner(s) name: Hasbro, Inc.
  • Address: 1027 Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, Rhode Island 02861, United States of America
  • Country of Incorporation: United States of America
  • Incorporation state: Rhode Island
  • IPO representative name: Gill Jennings & Every LLP

Henry Golding And Andrew Koji Interviews On Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins

Posted on October 8, 2020 at 11:50 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Actors Henry Golding (Snake Eyes) and Andrew Koji (Storm Shadow) spoke to Hollywood Outbreak and Inverse respectively, regarding the upcoming movie Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins.

Mr. Golding emphasized on the fact that the new movie is a reboot of the Live Action Movie series:

“It’s unlike anything that people will have seen. We are really starting a new timeline, a new franchise with the G.I. Joe universe. To kick it off with a distinct and stylized film, I think it really sets the precedence for follow-up movies. And so, it’s amazing to be able to tread in unexplored territory and be able to bring our own style, Robert’s ideas, and his love for Japanese cinema to the international audience.”

Andrew Koji explained the differences between his portrayal of Storm Shadow with the prior iteration by Byung-hun Lee:

“I didn’t vibe with the first films. I liked the actors. But I didn’t vibe. I remember when I saw G.I. Joe like ten years ago. I saw Storm Shadow and I thought, really? Is that our place, Asians in western screens? We take our tops off and say exposition? I don’t want that. With this, we tried to make a real, grounded [story]. We obey the laws of G.I. Joe. But I hope this is the most interesting, layered Storm Shadow we’ve seen. I want younger Asian actors to go, ‘Yeah, there’s a place for us.”

Snake Eyes: Takehiro Hira Talks About The Main Villain

Posted on September 30, 2020 at 12:47 pm by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Takehiro Hira who portrays the role of Kenta in the upcoming movie Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, sat down with CBM to talk a bit about his role.

“I’m playing the villain in Snake Eyes, the G.I. Joe film, I think it’s an original character who’s not in the comics, so he’s brand new and that’s pretty much all I can say right now.

He’s Japanese, he could maybe be Yakuza too, but yeah, it was a fun experience. You know, there’s Snake Eyes (Henry Golding), and then there’s another guy Storm Shadow (Andrew Koji)… I’m sort of his half-brother or something like that.”

His role was initially revealed back in late 2018.

Spoiler:
 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.

Regarding the training he received for the movie:

“We trained for about a month and a half in Vancouver, so hopefully it’ll be good. I haven’t been trained properly I guess, but along the way, I’ve learned things here and there and picked up a few tricks. I know some sword fighting, Japanese sword fighting, which is really cool.”
