Hasbro COO Talks GIJOE Movie to MTV

Cliffs:

- Wild Bill, Shipwreck,Tomax/Xamot are NOT in the film
- Based mostly off the comics, NOT the TV series
- Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow, Duke, Baroness and Destro are the main focus.
- Cobra Commander is, as suspected, the "emperor" kind of puppet master in the background in this film.

From another movie related board I post at, I got this reply:

That's my interview. Lotta good stuff in that article. Highlights are that it'll ditch the cartoon series and focus on the 155 classic issues, that it'll be about the rise of Cobra Commander, that locations will be underwater/desert/cities, and that we'll see a line of action figures for all the actors.

One thing that got left out of the piece is that we'll see some of the classic vehicles in their nascent form (like maybe a pre-Hiss Tank Hiss Tank).

AWESOME.

I like the fact that the story is more inspired by the comics, but I figured that was a given in that Larry Hama is on board.
