G.I. Joe has a screenwriter, which may beg the question, does this movie really need a script? I know I staged some pretty kick-a** epic battles in my room yesterday when I was a kid and I didn't need no stinkin' script.
Anyway, Hollywood Reporter announced that Stuart Beattie (Collateral, 30 Days of Night) will now pen the script for the upcoming action flick based on the popular Hasbro toy line. He joins director Stephen Sommers (Van Helsing, The Scorpion King). No cast is announced as of yet, but the movie is planned for a summer 2009 release.
All I can say to Beattie is, you better make Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow cool or I will hunt you down with my army of plastic Hasbro figures. Yeah, that's right.
