While
G.I. Joe: Retaliation was still fresh on the big screen and the rain of bad
reviews hadn’t begun, Paramount announced a third installment in the franchise,
but apparently they are only now trying to find a director.
According
to some reports the director of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, John M. Chu has been approached
by Paramount and MGM to return as the director of the third film in the
trilogy. Who they are not thinking about re-hiring are the screenwriters Rhett
Reese and Paul Wernick (because they wrote such an amazing script). Apparently according
to Deadline, Paramount is meeting with four different writers and will shortly
assign one of them to write the script for G.I. Joe 3.
It’s
still unclear if Chu is really going to be directing the third installment of
the trilogy or will he choose to go with his Masters of the Universe remake.
Either way Dwayne Johnson had previously said that the third film would be
using 3D “in better ways.”
Who
also spoke about G.I. Joe 3 was its producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, who said
that the third film would have more ninjas and more intimate scenes:
“We haven’t spent any time considering what
the next movie is. There are elements we’re really excited
about. I’d like to do more ninja story. That’s really fun, and I
think the mythology will support some really cool things. You know, I was
a really huge fan of the TV show Combat! as a kid, and
there’s an intimacy the show had because their budget demanded it—it’s always a
bunch of guys and they’re going down a ditch. I’d like us to do some of
that kind of stuff where you’re really on an intimate level. ‘Surprising’
isn’t the right word, but ‘gratifying’ how Dwayne and Channing’s ‘home scenes’,
if you would, they’re not buddy scenes but they translated that way
somehow. So they’re basic character scenes, and they’re domesticated
scenes. How well that played in the scale of what we’re trying to
do. I’d like to see more of that.”
