G.I. Joe Exclusive Update with Hasbro COO


Date: July 12, 2007

By: El Mayimbe

Cue G.I. Joe music...
 
He never gives up...
He stays till the fight won...
El Mayimbe will dare...
 
Now that TRANSFORMERS is making serious Drug Kinpin Dollars quicker than Amaury "Fig" Nolasco can curse in Spanish in the movie, what's going on with G.I. JOE?
 
I have been wanting to put this up for a while but never got around to it until now because the madness has to stop.  Apparantly, my last G.I. JOE (Skip Woods draft) script review made a lot of noise.
 
Brian Goldner, the COO of Hasbro, exec producer of Transformers and the upcoming G.I, JOE personally emailed me after my that script review to assure the fans that there will be a contemporary G.I. JOE vs COBRA storyline in the G.I. JOE movie. 

Here is what Mr. Goldner had to say...

Dear Mr. Mayimbe:

Thanks for your note.  We are working to develop a movie script that delivers a contemporary GI JOE vs. COBRA story, inspired by the comic books. We do not yet have one.  Hopefully soon….

Regards bg

So there ya have it folks, there will be Cobra bad guys in the movie and it makes perfect sense because Hasbro has to sell toys - they can't just sell G.I. Joes!

On that note, this goes to all the crazy G.I. JOE fanatics out there - PLEASE stop emailing me G.I. JOE treatments, scripts written in MS Word and the like because so far they have been far much worse than anything else I have read concerning G.I. JOE!  Leave it to the screenwriting professionals!

Speaking of Amaury Nolasco, ain't it just cool that he brought a couple of my favorite spanish curse words into mainstream popular culture!  Now kids across the globe can watch TRANSFORMERS and come out of the theater not uttering who their favorite Transformer is, but the words "culo" "jodiendo" and "mierda!"

Hasta el proximo capitulo...as Mr. Goldner would say...

...YO SOY MR. MAYIMBE!
