‘G.I. Joe 3’ Release Date, Cast, And Updates: Film Delayed Because Of ‘Jem’ Movie
It was reported last week that "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" director Jon M. Chu has joined forces with Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun and "Paranormal Activity" producer Jason Blum for the film adaptation of the "Jems and the Holograms".
But aside from "Jem", Chu is also set to direct the third installment of "G.I. Joe", according to the Hollywood Reporter. But in the battle between the big-screen versions of two popular cartoon programs from the 80's, the director has decided which one to prioritize.
According to Cinemablend, Chu addressed a fan's question via Twitter regarding the status of "Joe" after he has taken on the responsibility of directing "Jem".
He said, "Joe script is getting REALLY fun just taking a little longer. I need it 2b perfect so decided 2try & fit a crazy little movie in." That "crazy little movie" of course, is "Jem".
The entertainment news site speculated that since Chu might get a bit busy with the "Jem" project, the third "G.J. Joe" movie might not hit theaters before 2016 and 2017. Although a "fun" script for "Joe 3" is already in the works, it seemed the director has decided to prioritize the production of "Jems and the Holograms" starting with holding auditions for potential actors and other performers for the project.
For "G.I. Joe 3", Chu will be joined by "Snow White and the Huntsman" scriptwriter Evan Daughtry and Lorenzo di Bonaventura as producer. However, details regarding Daughtry's vision for the third film have not yet been revealed.
As for the upcoming film's characters, there are no formal announcements yet whether lead actors from the previous "Joe" movies will return, although Dwayne Johnson and Ray Park have expressed their interest in reprising their respective roles as Roadblock and Snake Eyes. Adrienne Palicki is the only cast member listed on the film's IMDB page. Palicki played the role of Jaye Burnett, or Lady Jaye in "G.I Joe: Retaliation".
