GI Joe will cook a Cobra soup again in 2009

Do you remember G.I. Joe? Was initially a military-themed line of action figures and toys created by Hasbro that was later adapted in an animated TV series and in a comic book. For my part I discovered GI Joe through my telly when was a kid.:)

Well great news: the GI Joe team is coming back! So we can expect some hot Cobra soup soon, the best snake soup ever!:)

Movie Premise:
"Ten years in the future, the G.I. Joe team battles the evil Cobra Organization, run by a Scottish arms dealer. The story takes place across the Arctic, Paris, Moscow, Washington, D.C., Australia and the Sahara. The team will be based in the Pit, while it was indicated Cobra Island will appear. In terms of characterization, the focus will be on Scarlett and the Baroness's romantic lives.

The film also acts as an origin story for many of the characters. Stephen Sommers said, "For people who know nothing about it, it'll make sense. And to people who love this stuff, it'll show where they all came from." (Source: Wikipedia)


This opening of GI Joe makes my day:


One thing though, in reality GI Joe would not fight against a Scot as Cobra's leader but against you know what evil man...

Some may think that those identification cards do no look that great, but I think they're quite realistic: an army administration would probably provide with the same kind of cards.
