'G.I.Joe: Retaliation' New Trailer Is Hot

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The summer box office season is quickly approaching and this is the time of year that the studios look forward to. This is when they release their biggest budget films expecting huge returns, which they always get and here’s an example:

Paramount Pictures released a new trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation.  From the looks of this preview this film is going to double the box office gross of the 2009 G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Bruce Willis and Adrianne Palicki join as newcomers while Channing Tatum reprises his role as Captain Duke Hauser.

In the sequel, the Joes were ambushed on their base by an army of Cobra’s assassins and most of the Joes were wiped out.

Without any strong counter-attacks from the Joes, Cobra seizes the government. Now all that remains are a few Joes that have to pull themselves together and strike back.

The film is directed by rising star director Jon M. Chu and features Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, Jonathan Pryce and Ray Stevenson.

Watch the brand new trailer below and sound off your thoughts.

 

 

 

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
