Paramount's Surprising G.I. Joe Reboot Strategy
27 Feb
Summary
- Max Landis is writing a treatment for a new G.I. Joe film.
- Danny McBride is also writing a separate script for the reboot.
- Paramount may blend both scripts into a single movie.
Paramount Pictures is embarking on a new attempt to revitalize the G.I. Joe film franchise. This upcoming reboot is notable for its distinctive creative choices, aiming to overcome the critical and commercial challenges faced by prior installments like 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra' and 'Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins'.
In a surprising move, the studio has enlisted Max Landis, a screenwriter with credits including 'Chronicle,' to craft a treatment for a potential G.I. Joe movie. Landis's involvement comes after a period away from Hollywood following accusations of misconduct.
Further diversifying the creative team, Paramount has also commissioned Danny McBride, known for 'The Righteous Gemstones,' to write a separate script. Reports indicate a potential strategy to combine both Landis's and McBride's scripts into a singular film, although a studio source offered a different perspective on their independent projects.
