Yo Joe, there is more franchising for you to go!
In a sign that Paramount Pictures was very happy with this spring’s G.I. Joe: Retalliation box office gross of $372 million (worldwide), the studio has tapped Evan Daugherty to pen the screenplay for the third G.I. Joepicture.
Daugherty is rising up the ranks fast at blockbuster franchising in Hollywood, having apparently impressed Paramount with his rewrite of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles earlier this year, mere months away from principal photography. He also contributed to Divergent, the latest dystopian teen future based on a YA series, as well as scripted Snow White and the Huntsman and Killing Season, the latter of which you can read our review of HERE.
G.I. Joe 3 will move ahead with Jon M. Chu returning to the director’s chair.
