Paramount production start dates…

GI JOE  Feb 8, 2008  Just like I didn’t watch Transformers, I didn’t watch GI Joe.  However, if the Joe movie is as good (for what it was) as Transformers was, there’s no reason it couldn’t be similarly successful.  On the other hand, the group is now based in Brussels (!), presumably because of fears that the film would be ‘jingoistic’ if it were still about an American team.  So much for “A real American hero,” eh?  And directed by Steven “Van Helsing” Sommers?  Ugh. 

DON READY LIKES CARS 3-Dec 3, 2007  Couldn’t find any info, although it was formally called “Clay Hujko Likes Cars”

HOBSON’S CHOICE (NDA) Again, no info.
