While critically the opening G.I Joe franchise entry was panned critically, but commercially it did enough for Paramount to return Stephen Sommers’ to the helm for the sequel to last years “G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra”.
There had been doubts to whether Sommers’ who previously directed The Mummy and Van Helsing and has a Tarzan movie in development at Warner Brother’s would come back. It had been fiercely rumored that a conflict between Paramount over the first movie existed over the editing. But, The Rise of Cobra grossed more than $300 million and that appears to have healed any rift between the two camps.
The film is still in a raw early stage with no details yet confirmed, but Zombieland scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick have been hired to construct the sequel with Channing Tatum is set to reprise as Capt. Duke Hauser.
