Joe’ Movie"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tAfter being tapped to pen the next G.I. Joe<\/a> movie at Paramount, Danny McBride<\/a> is now set to make his directorial debut on a new feature film on the classic Hasbro<\/a> toy franchise. <\/p>\n

\n\tPlot details are being kept under wraps at this time, though sources say this is certainly a high priority at the studio now that McBride is on board to direct.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe popular toy line was initially launched in the 60s as just a soldier toy but was given a boost in the 80s ultimately leading to a very popular animated series. This new version would introduce the commando strike force featuring iconic characters like Duke, Roadblock and Snake Eyes.<\/p>\n

\n\tParamount has made three G.I. Joe movies, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra which starred Channing Tatum and G.I Joe: Retaliation, which starred Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis. They also released a Snake Eyes spinoff in 2021 starring Henry Golding.<\/p>\n

\n\tMcBride is a New York Times bestselling author, actor, writer, director, and producer. He created and starred in HBO\u2019s\u00a0The Righteous Gemstones, following earlier successes with\u00a0Eastbound & Down\u00a0and\u00a0Vice Principals,\u00a0and recently published his debut book,\u00a0Thrilling Tales of Modern Men.\u00a0Some of his film credits include\u00a0Pineapple Express,\u00a0Tropic Thunder and\u00a0Alien: Covenant, along with voice work in\u00a0Kung Fu Panda 2,\u00a0The Angry Birds Movie and\u00a0The Mitchells vs. The Machines. McBride also co-wrote and produced the\u00a0Halloween\u00a0trilogy.<\/p>\n
