G.I. Joe: Return of the Kimchi Ninja Pushed Back to March 2013

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

When the plug was pulled on Megaupload, it was as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror as downloads were suspended. Today news broke that G.I. Joe: Retaliation will be pushed back from June 29^th to March 2013 and tens of voices suddenly cried out in agony.

Conspiracy theories abound as a source close to the movie, but not authorized to speak officially, has said this move was to convert the picture into 3D¹. There is also speculation that the delay is due to the incredible box office performance of The Avengers². But others think is that this is all a ploy so The Rock can cook something during Wrestlemania 29 next spring³.

Regardless of why the movie is delayed, next month will no longer hold the promise of glorious projections of Lee Byung Hun's abs at our local cinemas. It will be a tough summer without his charms but we will survive... and probably watch The Good, the Bad, the Weird a lot.

GIMME 4D! I wanna smell this fine ass mf'er comin off the screen!

[uptown-side.livejournal.com]

Though I'd be all for that in theory, I have a feeling that would make for a very... uncomfortable watching experience, if you know what I mean.

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOOOO, I WANT TO SEE LEE BYUNGHUN ON THE BIG SCREEN UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

Well he is going to be in Red 2 cause Bruce fell for all his charms when they made this movie.

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

True, but is that going to come out before G.I. Joe 2 ;(

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

Who knows! But I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[brianathebard.livejournal.com]

eh, it's happened to harry potter, it can happen to anything.

[cassie-cloud9.livejournal.com]

Well this is some straight up bull.....was looking forward to seeing his fine ninja ass all over the big screen this summer....WTF!!! EVERYTHING DOESN'T NEED TO BE MADE INTO 3D THESE DAYS DAMMIT!! >:/

[purkin.livejournal.com]

Are you fucking kidding me? It took it longer to convert Titanic to 3D than the time it took to originally film it...so why didn't they just film GI Joe 3D in the first place, so they wouldn't have to spend a shitton of money and waste a fuckton of time?!

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

I'm sure someone thinks that doing this will help the movie break even internationally. I doubt they were expecting it to make that much anyways.

[purkin.livejournal.com]

Ordinarily I'd agree, but it took $18 MILLION to convert Titanic to 3D, I briefly looked up the process of how they "convert" it - it's ridiculously tedious and time consuming, as well as expensive. It's like painting on a canvas, realizing you forgot to add a river, so you scrape half of the painting off and then add the river, instead of just painting it with the river originally. Bad analogy but there's no way somebody thought that would be a good idea! @_@

[miki-831.livejournal.com]

wow that is a seriously huge push back.

[umbrella-smile.livejournal.com]

The first line, oh dear god the first line LMAO

[spread.livejournal.com]

Dat photo, dat gif, dat everything..

I was watching A Bittersweet Life a few days ago, which just so happens to be one of my fave Byungie flicks.
I forgot how much I missed this man, I wish he would do more bad-ass Korean films.
But I guess he's trying to be a Hollywood action star now.

[neumi.livejournal.com]

In all my years of moviegoing, this is the first time I've ever seen a studio actually yank a film RIGHT BEFORE it comes out. This is ridiculous.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

And they were in full promo mode aswell. If anything this will sink the film.

[laceandskin.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to sit there and think about how amazingly hot he is.

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Ditto.

[rosamajalis.livejournal.com]

why would you do thisss?
3D is awful. That shit was only cool in the 1950s.

[allthingsgood.livejournal.com]

what the fuck. i was so excited to see this next month and NOBODY EVEN LIKES MOVIES IN 3D GIVE IT A REST HOLLYWOOD >:(

[monster-mutt.livejournal.com]

i was meh about this trailer until byung hun showed up in it and then i was all

i actually heard my husband's eyes roll

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! dammit! i was going to see this for LBH and they snatched it right out from under me. why r they pushing it back so fuckin FAR?!!

[quietreveries.livejournal.com]

i don't even want to see this movie
but damnnnn that's a huge delay

[supplanter.livejournal.com]

Amazingly hilarious poast XDDD

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

This is unacceptable!

[glyphs.livejournal.com]

WHAT. I was so excited to see this in a few weeks (solely for Lee Byung Hun, because the first movie sucked otherwise). If it is for the conversion to also have a 3D release, I am annoyed beyond words. Every movie I've gone to see in 3D has been a complete waste of the extra money. WAY TO PISS ME OFF, STUDIO. >=(

[raviolikenshin.livejournal.com]

shiiiiiiiiiit it must suck like that one movie about a witch and nic cage

sad i was really looking forward. i love crappy action movies ;_;

[engraved-16.livejournal.com]

oh whut! nooo D:

/sigh.

he was sooo hot in the 'the good, the bad and the weird' he should just wear guyliner forever. and his hair in that movie omg :Q_____

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I really don't like the franchise anyway. More Prometheus and Dark Knight Rises for me

[finchburg.livejournal.com]

I can't wait for Prometheus! I hope it does well at the box office, it's been a while since something overtly sci-fi like this has been released.

[xxmannequin.livejournal.com]

It was supposed to come out on my birthday. Damn you.. :(

[aya-sama3000.livejournal.com]

[fivil.livejournal.com]

[yunho.livejournal.com]
