80s babies step inside: Possible MASK and GI Joe Film

[BobbyBooshay]

If a new report by Film Divider is to be believed, the producers behind the G.I. Joe film series have some pretty ambitious plans up their sleeves. They've all ready shown that they're not scared to majorly tweak the series on-the-fly. The differences between the first and second movies were vast. They even delayed the second film and scheduled extensive reshoots when fans demanded more Channing Tatum. So the following rumors wouldn't come as too much of a surprise, considering their desire to please the masses.

For starters, the site is claiming that a couple of classic characters will act as villains in the third film. Tomax and Xamot, the nefarious twin brothers from the original TV series would get a big-screen update in the new film.

But the more interesting tidbit is that there'd be a crossover in the film. Now, we can't get too excited, since fans really seemed to be intrigued by a G.I. Joe Meets Transformers mash-up. But it looks like the producers heard that idea and decided to bring in M.A.S.K.

M.A.S.K. (short for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand)was that other animated series from the 80s that had transforming vehicles in them. Of course, there was more to the series- which the site accurately describes as a sci-fi Mission: Impossible Meets Fast & Furious. According to their report, Matt Trakker is currently scheduled to appear in G.I. Joe 3. Trakker is the main character from M.A.S.K.

While M.A.S.K. spawned from a Kenner toyline, Kenner was eventually bought up by Hasbro- who also own G.I. Joe. Even though they also own Transformers, this crossover was probably easier to put together.

What do you think of these latest rumors?

I am officially intrigued.


I had this as a kid. Straight piff.

I fukked with M.A.S.K heavy as a kid.

 

[SHO-NUFF]

had almost all the MASK toys....
the homies had the ones I didn't

let this be a movie; damn

 

[TheGodling]

I fukking love MASK but I don't think I want to see these guys make that movie given how awful the GI Joe movies were.

But if they do it, they better line up some talent for COPS as well. He might be getting a bit too old now (although he pulled it off in the Equalizer) but Denzel as Bulletproof would be so damn .

I remember liking MASK a lot but I didn't own many toys. Never bought the DVD set when it came out. Still not gonna pay $60 for that

GI Joe >>>>>>>> MASK but I'd be down for a crossover

The Crimson Twins finally

 

[robb]

yea..eff those producers.
Another toon that could make the transition to film would be Silver Hawks.

 

[StraxStrax]

fukk this thread for getting my hopes up

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

MASK was my shyt, but

Are they just trying to get brehs like me to go watch their movie? GI Joe has been around in one form or another since before I was a kid but I literally did the while thinking about MASK, because I haven't thought about it in nearly 30 years.

 

[Ain't That Something]

Never heard of this bulshyt

 

[Uncle_Ruckus]
