#G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation

Shocking beyond shock! Yep, the highly anticipated release has been pushed back all the way to March 2013. Why? To enable the studio to post-convert it to 3D —-> $$$$! Well, i was honestly looking forward to this release but maybe (setting aside the 3D angle cause it doesn’t appeal to me much) it may not be a bad thing for the franchise. Sure it’s daring and unexpected, but let’s face it, 3 HUGE super-hero movies have dotted the summer blockbuster slot. Namely; The Avengers, The Amazing Spiderman and The Dark Knight Rises, in terms of genre and appeal, was Retaliation really going to be able to stand its own? Even with The Rock in it… The Rock vs Avengers vs Batman vs Spiderman = Winner? 😉

Paramount Studios are behind the sequel and the current shocking decision. Here’s what an unamed Paramount decision maker had to say:

“We’re going to do a conscientious 3D job because we’ve seen how it can better box office internationally. Jim Cameron did all of ‘Titanic’‘s 3D in post – and look how well that movie turned out.” – Screenrant

In my opinion, there’s one other major question that needs answering: What happens to the marketing of the film??? Nowadays, marketing is pretty expensive and a big deal leading up to the release of a major blockbuster AND we had been told that the above poster was the last promo poster for the movie so do they have enough materials and interesting angles, clips etc to churn out for another 9 months? Hmmm….

We’ll have to wait till next year March to see this tag-team 🙁
