There are a number of films that have a rough time making their way into theaters, but Jon Chu's G.I. Joe: Retaliation is a very special case. Originally set to be one of the big blockbusters of the 2012 summer season, the movie was pulled from the release schedule by Paramount one month before its release, and it was delayed until 2013 so that they could convert it to 3D. It was a very strange move, largely because the studio had already given it a full advertising run, complete with trailers and TV spots.
Well, the sequel's new release date, March 29th, 2013, is creeping up, which means that now it's time for Paramount to run the campaign all over again. And it starts with a brand new international trailer. Check it out, embedded below.
I find it kind of funny that they're not promoting the 3D. You'd think that they would put it out there a lot more considering it was the reason behind the massive schedule shove. At least they got plenty of Channing Tatum in there.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation stars Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona as the last surviving members of the G.I. Joe team after an ambush leaves everyone else in their team dead.In order to figure out why they were set up and hunt down the people responsible, they team with with the very first member of their squad: Joe (Bruce Willis). The movie also stars Ray Stevenson, Ray Park, Joseph Mazzello, Elodie Yung, Walton Goggins, Byung-hun Lee and Jonathan Pryce. Because the movie was supposed to come out back in June our Blend Film Database is quite packed. Head over there for trailers, interviews, posters, images, news and more!
