Lorenzo di Bonaventura is out promoting Pet Sematary, and in that process, his other upcoming projects are being asked about.  Amongst those are The Meg 2, and McClane – probably the final Die Hard movie – but my interest is in G.I. Joe 3.

Yes, I admit the first two weren’t great, but the second one showed some promise. Add in this one is going to focus on Snake-Eyes, and it’s hard for me not to get excited.

How do you focus on a mute character? Well, Bumblebee just pulled it off, and that may be a clue. Speaking with Slash Film, di Bonaventura said that the film is going to be an origin story of Snake-Eyes and that he will “speak for X period of time.”

In the comics by Larry Hama, it was explained that Snake-Eyes lost the ability to talk in a helicopter accident in Vietnam. Of course, we’re a bit too far removed from that war now to make it plausible age-wise, so we’ll have to see what the updated story is now.

The film may begin shooting this fall, but no release date has been announced as of yet.
