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.

"Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" wows fans with "G.I. Joe" crossover and $40 million opening in China.

The surprise ending of "Transformers: Rise of the Beasts" sets up a crossover between Hasbro's biggest toy lines, Transformers and G.I. Joe, and teases the beginning of a shared Hasbro Cinematic Universe. The idea of bringing together the two franchises dates back to 2015, but it was only greenlit three weeks ago. The standalone G.I. Joe franchise has struggled to match the success of the Transformers movies, and the producer thinks that a surplus of characters has been one of the elements that has held those films back from becoming as big as the ones starring Hasbro's giant transforming robots.
