Paramount Greenlights Parallel G.I. Joe Scripts From Landis and McBride

Paramount is developing a G.I. Joe feature with two parallel scripts: Max Landis is drafting a treatment and Danny McBride is writing a separate version, with plans to blend them into a single film; producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached. The move reflects Paramount’s pattern of courting controversial talents. Landis’s career was derailed by #MeToo-era allegations, though no charges were filed, and he has continued to work on superhero-related material.
