Larry Hama to Join G.I. Joe Crew!

Larry Hama is the man responsible for the background stories behind the G.I. Joe characters of the last 25 years. According to Latino Review, Hama has signed up to be a creative consultant on the highly anticipated action-packed film.

The G.I. Joe movie will be a modern retelling of the "G.I. Joe vs. Cobra" storyline and features the compelling characters that Hasbro created 25 years ago. The premise focuses on the G.I. Joe team, led by Duke, and their "fight for freedom wherever there is trouble" against the evil Cobra Commander and his Cobra force.

G.I. Joe has been scheduled for an August 7th, 2009 release.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was released August 7th, 2009 and stars Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Byung-hun Lee, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce. The film is directed by Stephen Sommers.

    They're making a masters of the universe movie. It's being written by the same guy who's writing the new street fighter and voltron movies: Justin Marks

    Dennis Quaid has been the only casting I like so far.

    They should've hired him as a consultant before they started doing all that wacky casting...

    But I'm sure getting Larry Hama on board is a very good thing.

  22. THE JOKER

    WHAT!? He is the equivelant to Bob Kane (creator of Batman) and Stan Lee (the list is too damn long). He is the main storyline creator of the G.I. Joe's. The man originally behind it. I think that this is great.Who will know how this will go better than the man who created it.
