 Tagline: Evil never looked so good.
Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, whose previous collaboration was the worldwide blockbuster “Transformers,” have reunited for another extraordinary action-adventure “G.I. Joe.”
From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. Joe team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos. “G.I. Joe” is directed by Stephen Sommers (“The Mummy,” “The Mummy Returns”).
G.I. JOE: The mere mention of the name immediately conjures up images of heroism, patriotism and the kind of tough rigor required to get the job done. That's the G.I. JOE millions of kids have known since he was first introduced by Hasbro in 1964. “Everybody has immediate recognition when you say that name,” says Lorenzo di Bonaventura, one of the producers of the movie.
When G.I. JOE arrived on the scene, says Hasbro's president and C.E.O. Brian Goldner, who serves as a producer on the film, “the term `action figure' was actually a new one. Boys would never be found playing with fashion dolls, but the idea of an action hero or action figure came along and really stuck. For a little boy, it was the personification of a hero who could empower him to feel like he was part of the action.”
