Empire Magazine debuted the first international poster for ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’ today, and you can see the hi-res version after the break…
“G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” has an all-star cast including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Christopher Eccleston, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols, Channing Tatum, Dennis Quaid, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and more. Check out the full hi-res version of the poster below, and we’ve also embedded a trailer for you.
The first trailer for Joe looked a little too OTT and dare I say, campy? It wasn’t as visually impressive as Transformers 2, but I don’t think any of us outside of hardcore fans are expecting very much at all anyway. The cast list is very attractive, but uneven. Director Stephen Sommers is also uneven (The Mummy, Van Helsing) and reports have been floating on and off for quite a while about script re-writes and adjustments, especially after fans expressed outrage that the film didn’t pegg Joe as an “All American Hero”.
Maybe we’ll see a little bit more to excite us as new TV sports and trailers arrive before the worldwide release on August 7th.
Synopsis: From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. JOE team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos.
