G.I. Joe, or Action Force to us Brits, was a highly successful brand of Hasbro action toys featuring all kinds of combat expert figures, high-tech vehicles and advanced bases which fuelled many a boy’s playtime. At the height of its popularity back in the 1980s, the Action Force brand spawned a cartoon series, a Marvel comic and even an animated movie before fading away in the early 1990s. Now it’s back on a truly global scale, resurrected in live-action guise featuring an ensemble cast under the guidance of The Mummy and Van Helsing director Stephen Sommers, and it’s hitting cinema screens next August.
Just as the Transformers movie captured the imagination of adults who once played with the Hasbro toys as children while looking to lay the foundations for a new generation of fans to peddle merchandise to, G.I. Joe, also produced by Hasbro, could be brushed off as being a similar cash-in that aims to kick-start a major film franchise while lining the pockets of its executives. Yet, to do so, would ignore the enormous potential for explosive action, the vast range of characters available and the interweaving stories at the disposal of the filmmakers. They just need to get the balance right and keep the fans happy – no mean feat when dealing with a much-loved brand.

This origins movie will introduce many old favourites from the G.I. Joe team and see how its arch rival, the villainous organisation Cobra, is formed. Initially battling Scottish arms dealer James McCullen Destro XXIV (Eccleston), those in the know will where this is going. The real baddies will be the Cobra organisation led by Cobra Commander played by Gordon-Levitt who took the role for the chance to play a larger-than-life villain. The action set pieces can be expected to be spectacular while two new characters, Duke (Tatum) and Ripcord (Wayans), will provide an audience’s point of view on the proceedings given a human edge by G.I. Joe’s martial artist Scarlett and Destro’s partner the Baroness’s romantic lives entwined with their team members. With Rachel Nichols and Sienna Miller taking the respective lead female roles, it’s no surprise to see the outfits are X-Men-style black skin-tight outfits.
Anyone hoping to see their favourite action figure in the flesh will be pleased to see the names of G.I. Joe’s military men such as General Hawk (Quaid), Gung-ho (Fraser) and Heavy Duty (Akinnuoye-Agbaje) on the bill, while Cobra-aligned mercenary Zartan (Vosloo) also makes an appearance. Those likely to generate the most excitement are British martial artist Ray Park as mute ninja Snake Eyes and his Cobra nemesis Storm Shadow played by Hero’s Lee Byung-hun. Park, still best known for his role as Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace, practiced wushu for the part and takes on an important role as a fan favourite who may well face off against Byung-hun at some point – a potentially mouth-watering showdown. If it all comes together, G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra could be a blockbuster sensation.
Of course, the last time Stephen Sommers was entrusted with a project this large was when Universal Studios gave him almost free reign on use of its many screen monsters for Van Helsing. That ended up a confused mess which disappointed at the box office and wasted famed characters such as Count Dracula and Frankenstein’s monster. Fingers crossed he can have a more positive effect on G.I. Joe, which was lost in development hell a few years ago when the Cobra organisation was dropped from the script and fans were in uproar. Now, with Cobra re-instated, Sommers has an opportunity to wow cinema audiences with an action adventure on a grand scale. The images released so far show promise; a trailer is eagerly awaited.
