Sommers gets The Boot

Latino Review got the word that due editing issues, the director of G.I. Joe has been kicked off the project.

After a test screening where the film tested the lowest score ever from an audience in the history of Paramount, the executive who pushed for the movie Brad Weston had Stephen Sommers, the super hack director of the film fired. Removed. Locked out of the editing room. Stuart Baird, a renowned “fixer” editor was brought in to try to see if it could be made releasable.

Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner, who turned down other offers from the property to go with the script that was rushed in 8 weeks by Stuart Beattie because of the writer’s strike is frantic that this will destroy the brand and is distancing himself from the pending catastophe.

With bad news of that magnitude this movie is going to suck for sure. It’s the Lexi Alexander Punisher situation all over again. The only thing that’s salvageable out of this mess is for shit blowing up and Snake Eyes with Storm Shadow fighting each other. When the director gets removed after filming, that’s another red flag for us the moviegoers.
