Max Landis’ G.I. JOE Film Not Moving Forward at Paramount

According to Variety, Paramount Pictures and Hasbro have decided not to move forward with Max Landis’ vision for a new G.I. Joe movie. Landis was one of two writers the studio asked to come up with fresh ideas for the franchise. While Danny McBride, a popular actor, is still developing his own script, Landis’ proposal has been rejected. Paramount is still open to other pitches for a reboot, meaning McBride’s script isn’t confirmed either. Ultimately, it seems Paramount is still figuring out the best path forward for G.I. Joe and wasn’t satisfied with Landis’ approach.
