Artist Constantine Sekeris has uploaded several concept art images done for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins.

Included in this first look:

Snake Eyes
Storm Shadow
Scarlett
Baroness

“Snake Eyes Movie designs I worked on with the talented Costume Designer Louise Mingenbach. We worked on the film and the toys simultaneously. Storm shadow ended up getting pulled back to his original suit, but Hasbro decided to make the toy version haha. Shout out to Constantine Sekeris and Luca Nemolato for doing a phenomenal job on Snake Eyes and Scarlet!”

With these concept art reveals, it is clear where the Core Ninja toy of Storm Shadow originated from.

However, concept art for Baroness is extremely close to the final design.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura Talks About The Future Of The G.I. Joe Live Action Movie Franchise

Posted on July 27, 2021 at 2:41 am by Silver Optimus under G.I. Joe Movie

Polygon sat down with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura to talk a bit about the past and the future of the G.I. Joe Live Action Movie Franchise.

Q: How long have you been talking about doing the Snake Eyes movie? I’m sure ideas have changed over the years.

Whenever we brought it up, the thing that kept coming up was the origin story of Snake and Storm because it was so interesting and chock full of emotion. Brotherhood, betrayal, all the things that make really great drama — it has that in its story. It’s a very Cain and Abel thing. We talked about many things, but it always came back to that pretty quickly because it was so rich and so elemental.

Q: What does a G.I. Joe movie need to have to be a G.I. Joe movie? The original Joe movies were very soldier-centric, but you get away from that here.

I don’t think of this as a Joe movie. I really do think of as a Snake movie. The reason we chose Snake Eyes was because we were able to make such a specific, tonal reference, whether it’s a samurai movie or a Kung Fu movie, and so I think of it more in those terms, this particular movie. It is really about a journey into a mystical land. That really appealed to me. Many years ago, I did the movie The Last Samurai when I was at Warner Brothers; the exploration of the Japanese culture, I find kind of fascinating to begin with. It’s such a different culture, to state the obvious. But there’s so much to be found there that makes you reflect on your own culture. So I think that’s the benefit of having been driven there by a Cain and Abel story.

Q: Where do you hope the Joe franchise goes from here? Do you hope to follow Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow? Is it possible we’ll see other flavors of Joe movies?

It’s not preordained. I think there’s different ways we can go. One way, for sure, and we’re having discussions about it, is how do you keep sort of the spine of this relationship that we’ve developed? This antagonistic relationship? Is there a way to fuse that into a larger Joe movie so that maybe it’s one storyline? Maybe it’s the main storyline. So it’s not clear yet what we’re going to decide on doing. The hard part right now, honestly, is we’re not sure what success means right now, given the Delta variant and the theater problems.

G.I. Joe State of the Union July 2021 – G.I. Joe Classified and Snake Eyes Movie Edition

Posted on July 23, 2021 at 1:09 pm by DESTRO under Around The Site, G.I. Joe Movie, HissTank Community

What a year 2021 has been for the G.I. Joe brand. I don’t think anybody could have predicted the absolute explosion in product that is on the way. The variety in style, brand, size class, price point, and overall selection leaves something for everybody to look forward to. We are now in a full resurgence of the G.I. Joe brand with the G.I. Joe Classified Series anchoring the action figures at mass retail and the Snake Eyes G.I. Joe Origins movie leading the mass marketing push into the mainstream. None of this would have been possible without change.

So where do we go from here? I guess we should start with the last two months of feast or famine that just took place, and in some cases is still ongoing. We went from no G.I. Joe Classified or Retro products to how many do you need – take your fill. The Target Cobra Island situation started out on a really bad note and looked like it was going to be a disaster only to find out it was a temporary tech glitch that lead to the flood gates opening. People went from no Cobra Troopers to having the ability to Army build (very important for some of us) and most people just wanted to fill the holes in the numbered line up with The Baroness, Beachhead, Roadblock and Firefly. This led to a full on scramble to obtain the early first waves for those who stayed on the sidelines waiting to see how the line developed. But wait there’s more! The addition of Alpha Snake Eyes and that incredible articulated Timber, color changing Zartan, ARAH Amazon Roadblock and Breaker with RAM Cycle to name a few and if the rumors floating around about what awaits us in 2022 are even halfway true Classified and Retro fans are going to have a banner year. So, start saving your money now.

One last thing before we get started with the Snake Eyes movie. As G.I. Joe action figure collectors, we need to understand and manage our expectations for the ability of Hasbro (and it’s not just them) to get product to market with the ongoing Covid-19 (and now Delta) situation. Things are starting to open back up and return to normal but the very real cascading problems that were set into motion are far from over. There are massive shipping delays, massive inflation in shipping pricing, shortages of shipping containers and longshoreman who are under contract to be out to sea a maximum of 11 months, are now going on an average of 16 months, with no breaks out to sea, and no end in sight. So, unless Hasbro has been able to somehow shield themselves from these continuing effects, expect and uneven flow of action figure spice moving forward. Feast or famine conditions are going to be the new normal until the world fully recovers.

I guess this is where we dive into the Snake Eyes movie. So much to unpack here. Firstly, go see the movie for yourself. Nobody online spouting off their opinion is going to be 100% correct including myself. The matrix cannot tell you who you are as a G.I. Joe fan and the Snake Eyes movie is full of conflict for the seasoned fan. I almost feel the people walking into this for the first time are going to have the most fun watching it. No predetermined expectations, engrained happy childhood experiences, and for some of us almost 40+ years of collecting and absorbing G.I. Joe lore.

The early reviews started coming in on Wednesday and I was disappointed to see the tone and overall negative framework some of the so called “lifelong Hollywood G.I. Joe fans” took when speaking of the direction of the film. The very narrow perspective from Hollywood critics that nobody who is an OG fan of G.I. Joe is going to like this is just not justified. Just because the Snake Eyes movie is not a direct telling of Comic book lore is not a true measure of how good or bad this film is. Make no mistake this movie is 100% a reboot of the Arashikage and the relationship between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. The people walking in to see Snake Eyes who are not the core fan base are not going to care. They just want to see a good action – martial arts movie about ninjas and on that note it delivers. It also introduces Cobra and G.I. Joe to a new generation while the focus is on character development (Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes), something that was severely lacking in the first two attempts.
