Hasbro confirmed that the G.I. Joe movie, that been created with Paramount Pictures and scheduled to be launched in 2009, will not change the entity. According to its official release, Hasbro said that they are not changing what the G.I. Joe brand is about. The name “G.I. Joe” will always be synonymous with bravery and heroism.

Later on, The G.I. Joe team will not be based in Brussels. Instead, they will be based out of the “Pit”, as they were throughout the 1980s comic book series. And, in keeping with the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra fantasy, the movie will feature characters and locations from around the world.

Before watching the 2009 version, let’s take a look back to 1987 version, directed by Don Jurwich. For die hard fans, the action figures may interest you.
