New G.I. Joe Retaliation Trailer Showcases High Flying Ninja Action

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: | Updated on June 29, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

As the release date for G.I. Joe Retaliation draws nigh, Paramount seems keen on getting the word out by dropping several trailers and TV spots.

G.I. Joe fans can begin to breathe a sigh of relief now that the nine month delay for the sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra is coming to an end.  Retaliation has the Joes branded as traitors to the U.S. government. With their forces almost completely defeated, the team attempts one last stand to defeat Cobra Commander.

Aside from a couple lines muttered by General Joe Colton (Bruce Willis) and Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), the new G.I. Joe Retaliation trailer focuses on nothing but the action. However, with glimpses of a battle between Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-Hun) that includes bullets vs. ninja stars and a mountainside escape from a pack of zip lining ninjas, who can complain.

G.I. Joe Retaliation was directed by Jon Chu (Step Up 3D, Step Up 2: The Streets). Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick penned the script. Channing Tatum will reprise his role as Duke, and the aforementioned actors will be joined by Walton Goggins, Ray Stevenson, D.J. Cotrona, Adrianne Palicki, and RZA.

G.I. Joe: Retaliation hits theaters March 29, 2013. Check out the action packed trailer below…

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
