On the stump for Friday's Transformers: Age Of Extinction G.I. Joe film series producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura promises that the
upcoming G.I. Joe 3 will be the first to
really get it all right.
He tells Collider:
"The hardest thing in film, I think, is to reduce
something to something simple. You want it to be smart, you want it to
have all this complexity, you want to do all these things which
sometimes makes it all so confusing. How do you boil something down
until you have sort of an essential construct that the audience can
connect to, understand, and then we're allowed to go crazy with it This
time we have a very clear, very defined, tight idea that I wish I had
on every sequel I've ever worked on. Simple's the hardest to get to."
di Bonaventura confirmed that "The Rock" Dwayne Johnson would be back for the third entry.
"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" director Jon M.Chu was due back behind the camera.Snow White and the Huntsman writer Evan Daugherty was working on the script for Hasbro and Paramount.
di Bonaventura said that negotiations are currently under way with an
unnamed screenwriter and are close to being finalized:
"We're just
starting [to talk to directors]. We're negotiating with a writer right
now, and once we close that deal—which should be any moment—then we'll
have a story locked down. I'm really excited about it."
Production is currently slated to begin in early 2015.
"Retaliation" made $371 million worldwide. 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra made $302 million.
