Two Different ‘G.I. Joe’ Movies In Early Works At Paramount Between Danny McBride & Max Landis

  1. Paramount agreed to hire Brett Ratner for that new shitty *Rush Hour 4*, and now they’re also getting in the same business with Max Landis. They sure love hiring the most problematic people in business.

    I guess Kevin Spacey and Bryan Singer will come back to Hollywood.

  2. I don’t think anyone can make the GI Joe franchise a big theatrical success honestly. Adding in Dwayne Johnson to that 2013 movie didn’t help, that Snake Eyes movie came and went and no one cared.

  3. Apparently they’re planning on combining the two scripts? That doesn’t seem like it makes sense. Why not just go with whatever McBride makes?

  4. So I imagine one of these is the one with the Transformers connection and one probably ignores that

    Often think about Landis going on Bret Easton Ellis’ podcast a few years ago and almost instantly going into overly candid/confessional mode. He said something like, “Look, I’m probably going to hell when I die, alright?”

    Even Ellis, whose mind is aggressively wide-open and contrarian, seemed momentarily put on his back foot by that comment.

    Max landis are you being for real? I’m more convinced every day that we live in a nightmare timeline that just won’t end.

    I’ll take McBride movie over Landis movie.

    Especially if the McBride one is that Live Action Transformers crossover that was setup at the end of Rise of the Beasts.

    Oh go right ahead and toss the Max Landis one straight in the garbage. A Danny McBride G.I. Joe movie sounds fucking AWESOME. G.I. Joe is the last thing that should be treated as gritty and dark or whatever. It should be loud and stupid and goofy and I think he’ll be perfect for it.

    Danny McBride vs Max Landis G.I. Joe really is that “Everyone gets a puppy vs Diarrhea Forever” meme.  I know McBride would absolutely nail the megalomania of Cobra Commander, and Landis, is a creep and a nepo baby.

  10. They are gonna be doing that Hollywood 80’s propaganda style action movies. High testosterone and American dudes kicking ass.

    Not saying it’s a bad thing. The kid in me loves that shiz.

    However It’s plain to see what’s going on. Ellison and the Trump empire have a plan.

    Lol, what a coincidence. I just finished Chronicle just last night and really liked it and now the main writer for it is making a comeback. But it’s a shame that he’s such a piece of shit in real life.

    Yeah let’s get the guy who ruined Fantastic Four and the guy who ruined Halloween and The Exorcist. Makes sense!

  13. Oh cool, so nepotism helps pull a problematic douche out of the water rather than give young upcoming scriptwriters or directors a fair shot.

    That’s good to know

  14. So whatever happened to the GI Joe Transformers movie directed by Michael Bay? Is it going to be in the same continuity or what?

  15. They’ve been teasing that GI Joe/Transformers crossover for so long it almost feels mythical at this point…

    But if they actually commit to it and do it right, I’d be there opening weekend without hesitation.

    Oh so well either get a G.I Joe movie from the guy who wrote Victor Frankenstein and Bright or we’ll get one from the guy who wrote the Halloween Reboot Trilogy and Exorcist Believer.

    Great Options.
