It's been confirmed that Paramount Pictures, alongside Hasbro, are set to release a live action GI-Joe movie (scheduled for 2009) with the director Stephen Summers (The Mummy, Van Helsing) and Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura (Transformers).
A full press release was sent out 2 hours ago with the following information:
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
Call it "G.I. Go."
Paramount Pictures finally has mobilized "G.I. Joe," hiring the
director of the "Mummy" movies to shoot a live-action film
based on the popular Hasbro military action figures.
"G.I. Joe" had long been in development at Paramount,
though it gained traction thanks in part to "Transformers," the
hit summer movie based on another Hasbro toy line.
While G.I. Joe toys have been around for decades, the movie
will be based on the toy line launched in the 1980s, which also
was tied to a Saturday morning cartoon and comic book series.
Director Stephen Sommers' take was inspired by a trip to
Hasbro's headquarters in Rhode Island, where he learned in
depth about the world of G.I. Joe. Sommers then met with
Paramount brass, who sparked to his ideas. The studio is eyeing
a summer 2009 release.
The film will see soldiers from all branches of the
military fighting a terrorist group called Cobra, led by the
Cobra Commander and featuring such villains as the Baroness,
metal-faced arms dealer Destro, master of disguise Zartan and
biker gang Dreadnoks.
On the good guys' side were heroes such as the mute ninja
Snake Eyes and the fetching heroine Scarlett, who were led by a
Joe named Duke.
The full name of the '80s toy line was G.I. Joe: A Real
American Hero, but in a reflection of the global nature of
tentpoles and current geopolitical climate, the Yankee nature
of the strike force is being dropped, with the team now having
an international flavor.

In a new topic on Shoot for the Edit, Nelson has clarified what Michael Bay meant when he said:
"
I want people to see my movies in the best formats possible. For them
to deny people who have Blu-ray sucks! They were progressive by having
two formats. No Transformers 2 for me! "
Nelson has assured people that Mr Bay purely wanted to stress that he wants his films to be available to the widest possible audience. Nelson also jokes that Michael Bay quit Pearl Harbor four times, before making the film (so not to worry too much).

here.
