Release date for the sequel to Channing Tatum’s 'G.I. Joe'
Fans are constantly asking about the status of "G.I. Joe 2". Here’s a quick update on the upcoming sequel to Chan’s $300-plus million grossing action film "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra"…
Paramount has announced an official release date for "G.I. Joe", and Box Office Mojo is reporting that the sequel will hit theaters on August 10th, 2012.
Although the production has been very tight-lipped on most of the details, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, the executive producer for both "G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra" and "G.I. Joe 2", told MTV News last summer that they were working on the script with writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (”Zombieland”), a script that Chan mentioned (in his Eagle' press tour interviews last month) he was looking forward to reading.
The production is still figuring out casting, but word on the street is that "Step Up 2" and "Step Up 3D" director Jon Chu (who just had a huge commercial success with "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never") will be helming the highly anticipated sequel.
