Some great quotes divulging a little bit more…

“We all know of the Arashikage [ninja clan], and we all know of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow, but we need to build that story. We all know the story of Duke, and the story of the Baroness. … We know the story of Destro, but do we really? We need to go back and tell the origin story of how you get a Scottish arms dealer, who comes forward in history — how does that happen? And Cobra Commander. In effect, this is all about the rise of Cobra Commander. … For fans, they’re really going to love this, because we take them on a journey. … We have to go through the first chapter and then build from there.”

“Steve Sommers is very different. But he’s perfect, because if you think about his movies like ‘The Mummy,’ it’s the perfect action/adventure movie. If you think about what we’re trying to do for G.I. Joe, really bringing back that ’80s G.I. Joe from the Marvel comics — those first 155 issues are really our focus. If you think about that, you’ll understand what we’re trying to get at with all those characters and all the intricate relationships. I don’t think you’d see this movie as wacky. I think you’re going to see this movie as being inspirational for younger kids and totally in the sweet spot for the guys who grew up on G.I. Joe.”
