Thought I'd share the link:

Exclusive Video Interview: Head of Hasbro Brian Goldner on G.I. Joe and Magic Feature Films!

Politically correct answers.

 

It's funny how he also used the line about taking the franchise to "the next level" (just like DiBonaventura says).

 

And did you notice how he keeps waving his hands?

 

 

 

 

...other than that, he seems to be a really nice guy

Thanks for posting the link Shane, appreciated!

 

I especially liked how he kept mentioning the comic.

 

As opposed to the toon, which he didn't mention at all.

Well, that's cool - thanks for the link.

 

I just hope we don't see too many changes for changes' sake. Apparently the TF movie is good, but I still wonder if it could have been just as good with a more G1 look to the robots.

as long as Hasbro is in this till the end, i dont think it will stray to far from the Comics, just like TF it will be the same story, same characters, same idea, just different look, costumes, enviornments.

 

i think hasbro will do the right thing.

from what this guy was saying it seems we aren't going to be getting any crap like the Actionman/Duke team-up or the Rex storyline

and working with the comics as the base continuity? sounds like a winner to me. @firedevil@

I agree. Even though Transformers had a comic too, Hama's writing was a lot more integral to the GI Joe storyline. While I understand why they did what they did with the TF movie (TFs have had way more "different takes" on the mythos), they really should treat GI Joe as a comic book movie, like X-Men and Spider-Man.

[Gentleman]

The mere thought of a movie script by Hama...

 

 

 

Man.

 

Too bad it'll never happen.

 

 

 

The intereviewer should have mentioned Hama to Goldner (unless I missed it)... just to put some pressure on him!

Just as long as it ISN'T like The Hulk. @firedevil@

If hasbro has their way the GIJOE movie will make the HULK look like citizen kane!

He kept mentioning the comics, maybe they will go to hama for consultation. Who knows, but this should be pretty good.

Good guy. Very upbeat, positive and enthusiastic! I liked what he had to say and how he said it.
