As August 7th draws ever closer, more and more promotion for G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA is approaching. The following info comes from Phil Kost on JoeReloaded.com:
“I was watching Bones on TNT when there was an ad for Dark Blue. During the ad Channing Tatum and Marlon Wayans were there saying that during Dark Blue there would be some scenes from GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. So, if you are interested, check your local listings.”
Also, courtesy of tkprime and SNAKE EYES on HissTank.com, Adult Swim will be showing a special exclusive trailer this Friday night at midnight. So, fire up those DVR’s or sit down and catch some TV this week…
EDIT- The AdultSwim trailer is apparently SUNDAY at midnight, not Friday. Thanks to tkprime for the heads up.
SNAKE EYES from HissTank.com has dug up an image of what looks to potentially be an Arctic Assault Storm Shadow variant. This particular version of the figure has white sword handles and is using the unmasked head from the Paris Pursuit version. An interesting variant for sure, especially since this is how the character appears in the film.
Another production video has been added to Rise of COBRA Director Stephen Sommers’ website, this time featuring a look at sound production. Per Hallberg spends a few minutes discussing exactly what goes into doing the sound work on a big budget film like this, and there’s also some great footage, including a nice little peek at a nasty looking weapon they call a “Pulse Torpedo”. Check it out at StephenSommers.com, or just hit “play” below.
