G.I. Joe Movie Stupider Than Originally Thought
Action Man questions the validity of this idea.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that a G.I. Joe movie was in the works, with Mark Wahlberg potentially starring. My hopes weren't high for the film, as it is based on military action figures, but after this summary of the plot provided by producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, those hopes are completely shot.
Action Man is the equivalent of G.I. Joe internationally pretty much. It's a different character, but pretty much the same idea and his name is Alex Mann. So we're creating a buddy movie between Duke and Alex. That's what we're doing.
So, essentially he's taking two completely unrelated characters and teaming them up for no other reason than that they're both army guy toys. I was about to point out how stupid that is, comparing it to other infeasible team-ups I'd make up, but then I remembered Alien versus Predator, Freddy versus Jason, Batman versus Superman, and all the other team-ups done just because the characters were vaguely similar. So maybe this isn't as incredibly stupid and out there as I thought. It's just standardly stupid.
Is anyone else thinking Jackie Chan as G.I. Joe, Chris Tucker as Action Man? I smell money ($$$)!
