G.I. Joe's Snake Eyes Spinoff Movie Delayed To 2021
<p>Toy behemoth Hasbro has announced that its new G.I. Joe movie Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, initially eyeing an October 2020 release date, has been delayed into 2021 due to COVID-19's impact on the company's bottom line. After posting second-quarter financial results that missed Wall Street forecasts for earnings and revenue, Hasbro Chairman and CEO Brian Goldner <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/hasbro-posts-quarterly-loss-as-pandemic-hits-eone-1304504">told the Hollywood Reporter</a> that the company is "working out the specifics with Paramount." The film is a joint production between Hasbro and Paramount Pictures.</p><p dir="ltr">Snake Eyes will be the third installment and also a reboot of the G.I. Joe film series, which kicked off with 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Snake Eyes has a script from Evan Spiliotopoulos, who worked on Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast and The Huntsman: Winter's War.

In the original comics, his voice has never been heard and his face has never been seen since the character was disfigured and his vocal cords were permanently injured after a helicopter attack.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gi-joes-snake-eyes-spinoff-movie-delayed-to-2021/1100-6480219/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
