Cobra Commander is wearing a reflective helmet! COBRA COMMANDER IS WEARING A REFLECTIVE HELMET! I am made way too happy by that.

I noticed THE ROCK would be in the new GI Joe while doing an imdb fact check. I'm still not convinced that even THE ROCK can save this movie.

I wish they'd get the guy who self-produced a GI Joe fan film to make this though.

I'm down. And I didn't see the last one, for the reasons stated. Good job, Hollywood!

Yeah, the best part of the first one was when Destro got his metal mask. Also! Zartan is now the president, I think.

It's time to rewatch the animated movie -- that was some crazy stuff. The whole subplot with Cobra Commander actually turning into a snake scared the hell out of me as a kid.

I agree with Fruit Cup but only if he means Eric Fensler.

You could have easily sold this solely on the grounds that Channing Tatum's character appears to get killed in the first 5 minutes. But good hustle!

I want a live action "Venture Bros" film with The Rock as Brock Samson. It would simplify my daydreaming immensely.

This appears to be the best possible outcome of a contemporarily set GI Joes live-action franchise.

They should remake The Silence of the Lambs with The Rock as Hannibal Lector and Zoey Deschanel as Clarice Starling. Also add the line, "Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?"

@Fruit Cup: They should remake The Silence of the Lambs with The Rock as Hannibal Lecter and The Rock as Clarice Starling.

They should also remake The Rock with The Rock as James Bond and The Rock as Nicolas Cage.

He belongs back in wrestling or he should do a comedy movie about wrestling. Maybe call it "The Sock, the Rock and the Cock"? Who can name the other two wrestlers in this proposed movie?

Holy shit, if Zartan is president now in this movie Id go watch it even if it is a silent movie.
