g.i. joe: retaliation trailer



Oh hell yeah. Check out the freshly dropped first trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, directed by Jon M. Chu. Yeah, the first movie was kind of a turd, but this sequel looks pretty darn promising. You've got Lee Byung-hun back as Storm Shadow, Dwayne The Muthaeffin' Rock Johnson as Roadblock, and Elodie Yung as Jinx. And ninjas ninjas ninjas:



It's true, this is the same director who brought you Step Up 2 The Streets and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, but directing music/dance is not unlike filming action (have you seen The LXD?) so I think this movie is in good hands. And most importantly, from what I hear, Mr. Chu grew up as a true fan of the old G.I. Joe series. He's a fanboy. Fingers crossed.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens in theaters on June 29, 2012.
