Just wanted to start a thread about the new GI Joe movie to see what information people have like the cast and release dates.

Is it based on the characters in the shrunken-down GI Joe figures from the 80's?

I just had a flashback to a bit Eddie Murphy did once on Saturday Night Live, on Weekend Update, with action figures and dolls. I remember the joke, "Lookit GI Joe, he looks real mean! You'd be mean, too, if they shrunk you down to four inches!"

Prost!

I will go see it as G.I. Joes was one of my favorite childhood toys, does anyone know if it is still a international organization or is it an American one?

"Stephen Sommers will direct (here's hoping he reigns in the CG), from a script by Stuart Beattie. The story is set at Brussels-based GIJOE, an acronym for the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, and revolves around an international co-ed force of operatives who use high-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil org headed by a Scottish arms dealer. --Real Movie News 11/20/07

This has since changed due to overwhelimg negative response from fans and even servicemen.

GiJoe is once again "A real american hero", not an international UN type organization according to Hasbro-"

They are going to have every single character and vehicle represented in the movie. A whole new batch of toys!

I grew up with the 3 3/4 inch GI Joes and I loved them.
 
I know a fellow that worked, and I think still works for Hasbro and designed the small figures. He'd come into the Hobby Bunker in Malden, Ma. One time I had my son with me, (about 5-6 at the time) and I introducted him to the designer. My son wasn't impressed and camplained that the guns wouldn't stay in the figure's hands!
 
The GI Joe movie trailer will be launched during the Superbowl in one of the commercials also the new Transformer movie.
 
I saw the transformers trailer. I must have missed the GI Joe trailer. Did you see it?

looks like a good film i grew up playing with the smaller GI-Joe action figures so seeing the trailer brings back a lot of childhood memories
 
I fianlly saw the DVD. "Fascist" but fun.

Movies don't show unhurt peole getting out of wreaked cars anymore. Transformers, another Hasbro movie was the same. Heavy body count of innocent bystanders.
 
I saw it 2 weeks ago with my 2 boys. Lots of good special effects and really action packed. The only thing that bugged me is that they borrowed the micro mites idea from "The day the Earth stood still" movie...
 
I was watching it with my Welsh neighbor who had only known "Action Man" so he didn't get a lot of the toy/cartoon references. You'd have to be over 40 for some of them anyway.

TWO disfigured super villians? Not to mention Snake Eyes who was disfigured in a helicopter crash according to Wikipedia.

The actor who played "Duke" has Banjo Kid eyes, and that slacker beard....geeeeze.
