Jon M. Chu reveals plans for G.I. Joe 2
"Well, for Joe, I grew up playing with G.I. Joes and watching Joe and reading the comics of Joe. It means so much to me. To me, it's one of the few brands that has a soul, a multi-generational soul, where it's about what it means to be a leader in the community, in your home, with your friends, and what it means to be a leader and a hero. I think that's an important message right now in the world when everyone's kind of questioning what it means to be the leader of the world.
I think it's not just another action movie. Maybe the first one was that, but we're really trying to break it down and take the shine off and show that my Joes were the ones in the mud, the sand and the trees and in the epic worldwide adventures. Each one had individual talents. So we really want to bring the experience of what I grew up with playing with these toys. What it feels like so that kids now can be reintroduced to the Joes and experience it in a different way. This is like down and dirty Joe for me."

he seems to know what he wants, basically he on here it reads I think it's not just another action movie. Maybe the first one was that, but we're really trying to break it down and take the shine off and show that my Joes were the ones in the mud, the sand and the trees and in the epic worldwide adventures. Each one had individual talents- but truly this reads-F*CK YOU SOMMER IM THE DIRECTOR NOW BITCHH THIS IS MA' BABY!"

hes trying to bash the 1st film in a non so bad way, lol as if he can really pull this off, the dumbass already removed great stars off the card, Yes the 1st wasnt a masterpiece, it wasnt perfect, but it was fun to watch and enjoy, if only he could have taking the same cast into the mud, then that would have been intresting , because we already know who was who so to start all over again, its like BLAH, i hope he doesnt have a justin be, song playing in the trailer, lol
