It has been a roller-coaster ride. Various script ideas, cast changes, crew changes, director changes, delays, contingencies and many more. But finally, finally a 3rd G.I. Joe live action movie is being made and the filming starts today.

Directed by Robert Schwentke, G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes principal photography is set to take place from mid-October to early-December in Vancouver, Canada. Starring popular heartthrob Henry Golding as the titular character, the story for this new movie is written by Evan Spiliotopoulos with Bruce Lee films in mind.

The plot is rumored to be as follows (Warning: Possible Spoilers):

“When we meet this new, younger Snake Eyes, it’ll be as a street fighter in Peru. Driven by the desire to avenge the death of his father, Snake Eyes is apparently a man on the move until he ends up in Japan, where he and his best friend, Tommy, aka Storm Shadow, will begin their training with the Arashikage Clan. The film will see at least 3 of the clan’s legendary masters as they train Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow as Hard Master, Soft Master and Blind Master are all set to appear. Also present at the Arashikage compound is the film’s female lead, Akita. In comic continuity, Junko Akita was an apprentice and lover of Storm Shadow; here she is the head of security and will be a love interest for Snake Eyes.”

“Of course if it’s a GI Joe movie, Cobra must somehow be present and in this instance their presence is made manifest in what appears to be a character created for the film: Kenta. 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. We won’t delve too deeply into spoiler territory here, but we can see what side of things Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow will take and this film certainly seems to set the stage for one of the great comic book rivalries.”

Joining hands with Mr. Golding are Andrew Koji (Storm Shadow), Iko Uwais (Hard Master), Ursula Corbero (The Baroness), Samara Weaving (Scarlett), Takehiro Hira (Kenta?), and Haruka Abe (Junko Akita?).

Hasbro, Skydance and MGM will co-produce the movie, along with Paramount Pictures and Grackle Bird Productions.

As stated above, filming of G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes (under the working title ‘Grackle Bird’) will take place from October 15th to December 6th for an October 16th, 2020 release.

118 Building Extreme 17

Extreme Sets have been making cardboard based pop up dioramas for a couple years now, branching out from their wrestling roots and giving us environments to fit all our action figure themes. Most of these have been at the 1/12 scale, working with Marvel Legends, NECA, Star Wars Black Series and the like. Today that changes with the introduction of two new 1/18 scale sets. The Building 3.0 and the Deranged Alley 2.0. Building 3.0 is new, it just dropped in the 1/12 scale. The Deranged Alley 2.0 is a remix of one of their most popular sets, I’ve used it a lot for Marvel Legends and DC figures over on Toyark (Hit that link to see the 1/12 sets in action). Both of these now work with 3.75 / 4 / 1/18 scale. Prior to today, the only other one from Extreme Sets was the Command Station, which was cool but a little sci-fi. These new ones allow for some real world displays and photographing options.

Both sets feature the same modular display system Extreme Sets is known for – cardboard panels that tab together and can be reconfigured to your liking. You can create cornered street scenes or wrap them around into a building. The Building 3.0 set also comes with a roof if you choose to go building style. The Alley comes with flooring as well, and you can buy additional ground packs in the 1/12 scale to supplement that, or use with the Building set.

All in all they are great ways to get some spice into your G.I. Joe toy photography or display areas. We’ve run the sets for some pics to show what they can do and how they can be used, read on to check out over 55 HD images after the break! The 1/18 scale sets are in stock and shipping now at Extreme Sets. If you use code TOYARK at checkout, you’ll get 15% off your order!
