G.I. JOE: RETALIATION (Delayed)


  • G.I. JOE: RETALIATION

In a surprising move, Paramount Pictures has delayed the release of their upcoming G.I. Joe: Retaliation until March 29, 2013, a full nine months after its originally planned release date of June 29th.

Part of the postponement allows for the film to undergo a full 3D conversion.


"It is increasingly evident that 3D resonates with movie-goers globally and together with Paramount, we made the decision to bring fans an even more immersive entertainment experience," said Brian Goldner, Hasbro's President and CEO in an official statement.

The new date puts the sequel up against Andrew Niccol's adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's The Host.

Starring D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Adrianne Palicki, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum, Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson, G.I. Joe: Retaliation is directed by Jon M. Chu.

In the sequel, the G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.

Either way, we still think this is rather a dumb move by Paramount, as there was quite a bit of anticipation built up by general movie audiences, but now when it releases next year, a lot of people wont really bother with the film, after all we have been getting trailers and posters since Late 2011, can you really keep up that hype for another year??
