- Mila Kunis Teases New Short Film With James Franco
'I will not talk about it until it is shown, because it might beat 'The Hills,' ' she tells MTV News of previous Funny or Die collaboration.

Mila Kunis attends CinemaCon 2012
Photo: Getty ImagesDespite the fact that the stars of Sam Raimi's buzz-worthy upcoming movie "Oz: The Great and Powerful" aren't allowed to offer up any specifics about their involvement in the film, we've managed to glean a few positive yet mysterious comments here and there.
Such was the case during a recent run-in with the lovely and talented Mila Kunis at CinemaCon, where we learned a little more about her character's motivations, as well as some teasers about a short-film project Kunis made with her co-star James Franco that she promised will be better than their Funny or Die parody of "The Hills."
"Sam Raimi [directed the movie]. What else do you need?" Kunis said when asked what else fans should know about the return to Oz. "[Also] James Franco, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz," she added. "That's all you need."
And what about her character, Theodora? Is she good and then evil? A nice blend? Who is she?
"She's a good person who gets her heart broken," Kunis said. "What happens to young ladies when their heart gets broken?"
Josh Horowitz answered that they turn into horrible evil witches. "You said it, not me," Kunis said with a smile.
We then brought up her re-teaming with Franco and asked whether they had any downtime during "Oz" to shoot another brilliant short film, à la their "Hills" parody.
"In the process, James and I had another collaboration that may or may not ever see the light of day. That was one of the many shorts that James shoots. That might go down in history as my favorite," Kunis revealed. "I will not talk about it until it is shown, because that it beat 'The Hills.' It's a whole other short that we shot. It was one of the more fun experiences one could ever have."
Although Kunis claimed she could not reveal any more details, we asked her to at least tell us what genre the short falls into and offered up horror as a possible category.
"Horror? Horror," Kunis answered. "It wasn't dirty," Kunis added. "In case you're going in that direction."

Director also opens up on 'Beetlejuice' sequel and whether he'd return to 'Batman.'

Johnny Depp in "Dark Shadows"
Photo: Warner BrosFans of the classic late-'60s soap "Dark Shadows" were surprised when the trailer for the film made it seem like director Tim Burton had reimagined his subject matter as a farcical comedy rather than the dark, Gothic soap opera fans remembered. Since then, there have been whispers that the film is far darker than it is being marketed, so we went straight to the source to find out what is really up with the buzzed-about film.
At CinemaCon 2012, MTV News asked Burton if he felt the trailer is reflective of his film, which hits theaters May 11, and while he admits there are humorous elements to the film, he said he doesn't believe it can be classified as a comedy.
"Everything that's in [the trailer] is in the movie," Burton told MTV News. "It's a funny film for me, because I never considered it a comedy. I was always trying to capture the weird vibe of 'Dark Shadows,' which is a weird thing to try to capture. It was a weird daytime soap opera."
Burton, a longtime "Shadows" fan who said he "recalls the show affectionately," said that whatever humor is in the film is there because the situation Barnabas is in when he is unearthed 200 years after being buried is innately humorous.
"It's not like I'm being campy with it or anything," Burton said. "The guy's been locked in a box for 200 years, and [when] he comes out ... something weird is going to happen."
As for comparisons to his previous films, most notably "Edward Scissorhands," Burton said he can see the link, but confessed that there are many subtle differences between Barnabas Collins and any other character he's put onscreen.
"Edward Scissorhands was more of a naive character. Barnabas has been around the block a few times," Burton told MTV News with a laugh. "There is something about a character who doesn't quite fit into the world, which is similar, just in this case, he's been around a long time."
Burton also gave us up-to-date news on one project many of his biggest fans are very excited for: "Beetlejuice 2." The film is being written by "Shadows" scribe Seth Grahame-Smith, and for Burton, that's as far as things have gotten.
"He's working away on it," the director said of Grahame-Smith, "so I'm just waiting to see what he does."
As for whether we can expect him to make a return to "Batman," the film franchise he started with the original 1989 blockbuster, he was straight to the point, saying, "I think I have enough on my plate."

'He's not the servant that he was in the radio series,' producer Jerry Bruckheimer tells MTV News about Depp's character in Disney film.

Well, perhaps the movie isn't all about Johnny Depp's wildly imagined Native American hero, but he'll certainly be at the forefront of the upcoming Disney blockbuster from director Gore Verbinski. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told MTV News as much at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, revealing that while "The Lone Ranger" is heavily focused on the masked gunslinger (Armie Hammer), Depp's Tonto will play a pivotal role in relating that story.
"It's him telling the story of the Lone Ranger. ... It's his voice," Bruckheimer explained of how Depp's Tonto steps into the spotlight of the story. "He's not the servant that he was in the radio series and television series. He's quite a different character."
Even if Tonto weren't at the center of the film, the visuals of the character alone would make him impossible to ignore. Depp recently spoke at length about why his Tonto looks the way he does, saying he drew inspiration from a Kirby Sattler painting.
"I think Johnny creating that character, he did it on his own," Bruckheimer told us. "He went out with his makeup people and found an iconic image that he loved and created it for himself. He did the makeup, showed me a picture and said, 'Let's go make this movie.' It just took a while to convince Disney to go make it!"
Indeed, not long ago, "The Lone Ranger" very nearly rode off into the sunset before it even got on the horse, when Disney threatened to pull the plug due to budget concerns. Those issues were ultimately ironed out, and "Lone Ranger" will ride on with a huge scope intact, budget cuts be damned.
"Minor things [were cut], nothing anybody will miss," Bruckheimer said about how the cuts affected the film. "The whole wonderful train sequences are still there. It's a big movie. It really is.
"It has some fantasy elements in it. It's grounded, but there are spiritual elements to it," the producer continued about the film's tone. "It's its own thing. It certainly has elements of humor, which Gore brings to everything he does, and great action as well. It's kind of like 'The Odd Couple' meets 'The Wild Bunch.' "
Of course, the reteaming of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trio of Verbinski, Depp and Bruckheimer begs the question: Will we see "The Lone Ranger" ride again in future movies? Bruckheimer wasn't sure if this film would launch a franchise or not, but he admitted that he "didn't know 'Pirates' was going to be a franchise" either.
"Hopefully this one's going to work, and if they allow us to make more, we'll make more," he said.

Переслать - James Franco Teases Screen Time With Rihanna
Actor reveals he almost co-starred in 'We Found Love' clip and may appear with Ri in new Seth Rogen film.

James Franco
Photo: Neilson Barnard/ Getty ImagesJames Franco recently made headlines when he posted a video of himself singing Rihanna's Dr. Luke joint "You Da One" on the Internet. The clip was short, sweet and a bit out of nowhere.
But if you think that Franco was in one of his performance-art moments when he created the viral video, think again. It turns out he's just a fan of the colorful singer. "[It] didn't take a lot of work [to lip-synch to her song]," he confessed to MTV News at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday. "But I do like Rihanna."
In fact, his biggest confession about his connection to the singer came next. It seems the two were thisclose to working together on her 2011 "We Found Love" video. As the story goes, before male model Dudley O'Shaughnessy landed the role as Ri's troubled leading man, Franco had the opportunity to be cast as one-half of that rocky romance.
"She actually asked me to be in that video, the one with the relationship that gets crazy," he dished. "I couldn't do it. But, I guess, I hope that that means there's mutual love between us."
Well, apparently these two are getting a second chance to work together, and this time it's on the big screen. Franco teased that Rihanna may appear in pal Seth Rogen's flick "The Apocalypse," which follows a slew of celebs playing themselves. They're partying at Franco's house when they learn the apocalypse is coming.
"I think she's gonna be in the new movie that I'm doing, Seth Rogen's directorial debut," he shared. "I think she has a little part in that."

'I love them!' the actress says about filmmakers Andy and Lana Wachowski.

Mila Kunis at CinemaCon 2012
Photo: Getty ImagesAfter filmmakers Andy and Lana Wachowski tackle the ambitious task of turning "Cloud Atlas" — a hulking novel taking place in six separate time periods from the 19th century to a post-apocalyptic, virtually-technology free future — into a feature film, the siblings will direct "Jupiter Ascending." While all involved are tight-lipped on the sci-fi flick's plot, we learned back in March that Warner Bros., the studio behind the project, offered lead roles to Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis.
On Tuesday evening (April 24) at CinemaCon, Kunis herself confirmed that she'll star in the film, exclusively giving MTV News' Josh Horowitz the scoop. Before he could even finish his question regarding whether the rumors are true and whether she's read a script, Kunis nodded her head and blurted out, "Yes."
"I love them!" she said about the Wachowskis.
When Horowitz joked, "Thanks for spilling all the beans on that one," Kunis laughed and responded, "Listen, I told you I'm doing it. That's the most I've told anybody."
When Deadline Hollywood first broke the news of the film, they described it as the Wachowskis' "first major science fiction action franchise play since 'The Matrix,' " which hopefully means audiences will be treated to a series of movies.
While 2012 seems to be the year of Channing Tatum, with hits like "The Vow," "21 Jump Street" and the upcoming summer films "Magic Mike" and "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," Kunis also has a full cinematic plate. She stars in the raunchy comedy "Ted" and the "Wizard of Oz" prequel "Oz: The Great and Powerful," which stars James Franco, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz.
"Jupiter Ascending" is set to hit theaters in 2014.

'It's a very real exploration of how a couple, the power dynamic changes after five years,' Jason Segel tells MTV News.

Emily Blunt and Jason Segel in "The Five-Year Engagement"
Photo: Universal PicturesRomantic comedies all seem to follow the same cinematic blueprint: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. An obstacle tears them apart. The two overcome all and get together right before the end credits roll.
While movies of this genre are great for a first date, the story can usually be predicted before entering the theater (and perhaps sometimes by just reading the film's title). With Jason Segel and 's latest movie, The Five-Year Engagement, the two stress that the story avoids the traditional, sappy rom-com formula and presents a fresh look at the genre.
"This starts with the engagement," Segel told MTV News. "I think it's a very real exploration of how a couple, the power dynamic changes after five years."
Segel is certainly one for comedic performances. But with a recent role in "Jeff Who Lives at Home" under his belt, the multitalented actor proves he can deliver an honest, reflective performance as well. Blunt ("Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" and "The Adjustment Bureau") is no stranger to dramatic roles either. "It's got a little bit of everything, that's what I love about it," Segel said. "It's hilarious, and there are some broad [comedic] moments and there are very sad, solemn moments."
Relationships are far from perfect, which is certainly not the case in most Hollywood films. But "The Five-Year Engagement" promises an organic and truthful portrayal of a young couple.
"What's nice about this is it does feel like a very, very real relationship," Blunt said. "They're desperately struggling to be together and make it perfect. And they are incredibly loving of each other, but yet they're struggling. Life gets in the way and the dynamics change."
It will be refreshing to see Segel and Blunt portray such a natural and troubled relationship onscreen. While the film is certain to give the audience laughs, it also seems like the story will hit home for lots of couples sitting in the audience.
"It's one of the things I'm most proud of in my entire career," Segel said.

Переслать - 'Glee' Star Chris Colfer Reveals 'Message' Behind 'Struck By Lightning'
Film 'started [as] a way for me to vent out my high school annoyances,' actor tells MTV News about movie he wrote and stars in.
By Fallon Prinzivalli, with reporting by Josh Horowitz
Chris Colfer
Photo: MTV NewsMove over Lea Michele: It looks like Chris Colfer is the new "Glee" star to watch. When he won a Golden Globe in 2011 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, entertainment gurus started paying attention to the guy who plays Kurt Hummel.
Colfer originally auditioned for "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy in the hopes of landing the role of Artie, a paraplegic nerd with insane rapping skills. The part went to Kevin McHale, but Murphy liked Colfer so much that he created the role of Kurt specifically for him. The charisma that won Murphy over has since stolen the hearts of audiences, and the actor has used his fame to launch his own side projects — including "Struck by Lightning," a feature premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
Colfer wrote the screenplay and stars in the film as Carson Phillips, a driven high school senior and promising journalist focused on making it in New York. His plan is to attend his dream college and become editor of The New Yorker, but things change abruptly when he is — you guessed it — struck by lightning.
"The project kind of started [as] a way for me to vent out my high school annoyances with my classmates and my teachers and the town that I lived in," Colfer told MTV News. "It just kept evolving, evolving ... [until] I just kind of said to myself, 'I really need to make this into a movie someday.' "
Even though the story is loosely based on Colfer's high school experience, he tells us that it is not autobiographical. "Carson is a very, very driven kid who really just wants to get out of his town and is waiting for his life to begin in New York City," he said. "That's his goal. Meanwhile, he's stuck in this really small town with these people whose aspirations are becoming a fireman, becoming a nurse, becoming principal of the school, and he has a hard time with it. And I think he has a really important message for kids to hear these days."
It's a message that can now be heard thanks to the phenomenon of the Fox musical series. "['Glee'] kind of created a possibility for me to do this," the actor revealed. "Making movies, writing stuff, has always been my plan. Always, always, always. And sometimes I laugh when people are surprised that I do that because it's always been so much a passion for me to get into someday.
"I feel like every actor has a shelf life, and luckily I'm relevant now because I'm on 'Glee' and there [are] just a lot of things I want to get done before my shelf life is over," he added, laughing. "So I'm just trying to get everything on my bucket list off while I can."
We'd say he's off to a good start. "Struck by Lightning" will continue playing at the Tribeca Film Festival on Friday, April 27, and Sunday, April 29. Rush tickets will be available. The movie is set to hit theaters later this year.

Переслать - 'Dark Knight Rises,' 'Hobbit' Footage Screens At CinemaCon
While fans and critics called Nolan's footage 'explosive and awesome,' many were not as enthusiastic about Peter Jackson's.
By Kevin P. Sullivan
Tom Hardy as Bane in "Dark Knight Rises"
Photo: Warner Bros/EWThe Warner Bros. panel at CinemaCon was among one of the most highly anticipated of the gatherings of film fans, journalists and theater owners. Rumors of footage from Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" at a revolutionary 48 frames per second and potential appearance from Christopher Nolan and "The Dark Knight Rises" made the panel a can't-miss event.
Soon after the conclusion of the panel, bloggers and journalists from across the industry shared their immediate reactions with the world, and the results spell good things for Batman fans, but could mean doom for those awaiting a return to Middle Earth.
"The Dark Knight Rises" was an expected but unannounced feature of the panel, and the reaction so far on Twitter has been unanimously positive.
"THE DARK KNIGHT RISES footage was as awesome as you'd expect. Saw footage of 'The Bat' in action. IMAX stuff looks sick. Nolan is amazing" — Steven Weintraub, Collider
"Also of note: Bane's voice has been seriously amplified & clarified in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, and I don't care what anyone says. "— Josh Dickey, Variety
"The Dark Knight Rises footage was explosive and awesome. #CinemaCon" — Peter Sciretta, /Film
The reactions to the 48-fps footage from 'The Hobbit,' however, were less than stellar. Many complained that the faster frame rate did not look like a film, but most agreed that the bump improved the quality of the 3-D. The footage included several scenes, including the famous sequence of Bilbo challenging Gollum to a series of riddles.
"Listening to Cinemacon people - theater owners - this 48fps demo sold NOBODY," — Devin Faraci, Badass Digest
"Great Scott, THE HOBBIT in 48 frames-per-second is a thing to behold. Totally different experience. Not all will like the change." — Dickey
"Saw ten minutes of Hobbit in 48fps 3D. Very exciting, but I'm now very unsure about higher framerates #CinemaCon" — Peter Sciretta, /Film
It's likely this will only be the beginning of the 48 fps date, as several films, including James Cameron's proposed "Avatar" sequels, are planning to utilize the technology.
Baz Luhrmann's "Great Gatsby" also showed off footage for the first time to the public, but its 3-D was received much more warmly.
"Also saw ~5 mins of The Great Gatsby raw 3D footage and WOW. Baz has made a beautiful, 3D drama, really enhances the experience. Whoa." — Alex Billington, First Showing
"Writing up THE HOBBIT. Drinking while doing it. GREAT GATSBY was gorgeous, though." — Faraci

Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are set to rewrite the script for yet-untitled sequel.
By Kara Warner
Andrew Garfield in "The Amazing Spider-Man"
Photo: Marvel / Columbia PicturesAlthough we still have several months to wait before we see Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker in "The Amazing Spider-Man," the ball is already rolling behind plans for the film's sequel and its May 2, 2014, release date.
The first film's screenwriter, James Vanderbilt, penned the first draft of the sequel's script, but it was announced Tuesday (April 24) that Sony has hired the prolific writing duo of Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to rewrite the script.
"We grew up as huge Spider-Man fans so, to us, the opportunity to work on this film is akin to being handed the Holy Grail," Kurtzman and Orci said in a statement. "We love the direction Sony and the filmmakers are taking the Peter Parker/Spider-Man mythology and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of this legendary franchise."
Kurtzman and Orci are no strangers to penning blockbusters: They wrote "Star Trek" and its yet-untitled sequel (along with Damon Lindelof) for director J.J. Abrams, "Transformers," "Cowboys and Aliens" and "Mission: Impossible III."
"Alex and Bob have a unique ability to write great character and spectacular action that makes them pitch perfect for Spider-Man," producer Matt Tolmach said in a statement. "They've been friends of ours for a long time, and they have an exciting take on the franchise — we're thrilled to have them join the Spider-Man family."
"It's a thrill to have Alex and Bob put their stamp on this franchise that we all love so well," producer Avi Arad added. "They have an innate understanding of what makes Peter Parker not just a superhero, but a hero for all of us."
When they're not busy writing blockbuster films, Kurtzman and Orci serve as executive producers on the upcoming sci-fi fantasy "Ender's Game," "Now You See Me" and "Hawaii Five-O." They also wrote the upcoming drama "People Like Us," which is Kurtzman's feature directorial debut.

Previews suggest that we're dealing with a very different Nucky Thompson.

Steve Buscemi in "Boardwalk Empire"
Photo: HBOWarning: Spoilers ahead for those who haven't watched season two of "Boardwalk Empire."
HBO has started to roll out short previews for the upcoming third season of its Prohibition drama "Boardwalk Empire," and as the first teaser tells us, this is a new year, and there are some new rules.
Suffice it to say, we're dealing with a very different Nucky Thompson.
The second season's finale saw Steve Buscemi's character not so much breaking bad, but finally showing his true colors. Until then, Nucky had been a man who delivered orders and not bullets to the head. The last episode changed everything, however, when Nucky took out his onetime ward, Jimmy Darmody.
In the first of the two new teasers, which feature dialogue from the season premiering this fall but no new footage, we hear Nucky explaining how his plan for the new year has changed. He talks about simplifying things for everyone involved, which we can probably assume means for ruthless business.
The clip closes out with a line that definitely signals that the Nucky we saw in the season two finale is here to stay: "Put a bullet in his f---ing head." It's more direct talk than we're used to hearing from Nucky, but now that we know he is "Not. Seeking. Forgiveness," this kind of talk isn't that surprising.
The second teaser examines what's left of Nucky and Margaret's relationship after her decision to sign the land over to the church.
We figured that things would not be exactly peachy between the couple, but we'll have to wait until "Boardwalk Empire" returns in the fall to see just how bad things get.

Actor will reportedly join cast of Robert Rodriguez's 'Machete' sequel.
By Kevin P. Sullivan
Mel Gibson
Photo: Frederick M. Brown/ Getty ImagesThings are coming together for Robert Rodriguez. Earlier this month, the Austin-based director announced that two of his proposed sequels were moving forward. "Machete Kills," the sequel to the expansion of his "Grindhouse" trailer, will film first this spring, with "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" following in the summer.
The next step for each will be casting, and Rodriguez made his hopes for the "Machete Kills" cast early on, expressing interest in Michelle Williams and Mel Gibson. Now Deadline is reporting that Rodriguez has successfully hired one of those actors.
According to the report, Gibson is in negotiations to join the next "Grindhouse" spin-off. There's no word on who Gibson would play if he does join, but a plot synopsis may include hints. A brief description of the story says, "Machete is drafted by the U.S. government to track an arms dealer through Mexico before he can launch a rocket."
Gibson recently found himself back in the headlines for entirely different reasons. After Warner Bros. rejected Joe Eszterhas' script for Gibson's proposed film about the Jewish warrior Judah Maccabee, the screenwriter accused Gibson of anti-Semitic slurs during their time working together on the screenplay. Gibson replied to the accusations via an open letter, and Eszterhas responded by releasing a surreptitiously recorded rant from the actor/director.
Rodriguez has been known to cast actors not long after public scandals. For the first "Machete" film in 2010, he gave Lindsay Lohan her first theatrical release after "I Know Who Killed Me," which had come out three years earlier.
With two films scheduled to film so close together, Rodriguez is unsure whether he'll be able to direct the entirety of "Machete Kills" before moving on to direct "Sin City." He recently told The Hollywood Reporter that he wants to direct the entire film but may have to pass it along to a co-director if scheduling gets too tight.

Переслать - 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Trailer: Five Kick-Ass Moments
Duke goes early and so does London in the brand-new trailer for 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation,' from 'Never Say Never' director Jon Chu.
By Josh Wigler
Dwayne Johnson in "G.I. Joe: Retaliation"
Photo: ParamountCrashing through the sky comes the fearful cry of Cobra, but I feel no fear at the laser-blasting terrorist organization's coming arrival. For one, we all know the Joes have this battle in the bag. For another, there's a second "G.I. Joe" movie heading our way in just two short months, and by the looks of it, it's the movie that fans have always wanted. Bring on Zartan, Firefly and the rest of them, I say!
Cobra Commander and his minions are out in full force in the brand-new "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" trailer that arrived Tuesday (April 24) courtesy of Machinima. Featuring an introduction from leading man Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the two-and-a-half-minute trailer embraces everything we loved about that first "Retaliation" spot and ups the ante considerably. Keep reading for the five scenes from the trailer we were most excited to see.
The Duke of Hazard
"Just don't kill Duke. That's really my only request," MTV.com reader Adam wrote in response to the arrival of the first "Retaliation" trailer some months ago. Unfortunately, Adam, I don't think your wish will be granted: Rumors have long been swirling about the early exit of Channing Tatum's "Rise of Cobra" hero, and his limited appearance in the "Retaliation" trailer only fuels that fire further. If there's a silver lining, it's that Duke appears to have grown among the Joe crowd quite a bit since last we saw him. He's got a strong relationship with Roadblock, so much so that he happily volunteers to babysit his fellow Joe's little girls for a weekend. Duke might not last long in "Retaliation," but expect his departure — however it comes — to weigh heavily on Roadblock as the film unfolds.The Country Is at War
There's only one man who could destroy G.I. Joe in one crushing move, and the Rock voted for him. Viewers well know that the president of the United States is Zartan in disguise, using his influence to push Cobra into the public eye and assert its dominance over the globe. If you thought the rise of Cobra meant the death of the former president, however, you'd be mistaken: The trailer reveals that the real president (played by "Pirates of the Caribbean" veteran Jonathan Pryce) is still alive, if not exactly well.Two Cases of Thin Mints
With few allies left to turn to, Roadblock takes his surviving Joes — Flint and Lady Jaye — and teams up with the reclusive General Joe Colton, the man who started it all. The hero, played by action legend Bruce Willis, has gone from complaining about his high cholesterol to demanding Girl Scout cookies in this newest trailer. And he wonders why his blood pressure is all out of whack!London Bridge Is Falling Down
"Rise of Cobra" saw the destruction of the Eiffel Tower. It looks like London's going to undergo a similar "everything must go" sale when "Retaliation" rolls around. What, you really thought that President Zartan wanted world peace? He and the Cobra gang are behind the massive terrorist assault on the United Kingdom, and it's going to be up to Roadblock and his pals to prevent further destruction from happening.Ninja Wrap
So. Many. Ninjas. But never enough ninjas. There is no such thing, as Snake Eyes and Jinx battling an army of sword-wielding Cobra loyalists on the side of a mountain will surely tell you. Recently, Chu revealed that a nine- to ten-minute, dialogue-free ninja battle would occur in "Retaliation," and going by the previous trailer and this latest one, it looks like this snow-covered mountain is where it's all going down. Awesome.What do you think of the new "G.I. Joe" trailer? Sound off in the comments below!
