- 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??
