Paramount Taps Max Landis for G.I. Joe Movie Treatment
Paramount Pictures has hired embattled writer Max Landis to develop a new G.I. Joe film treatment, reviving the dormant franchise. This move is part of David Ellison's efforts to revive his comeback trend, despite Landis's past allegations.
According to sources, Landis will work on the project with Danny McBride, who is set to produce the film. The G.I. Joe franchise has been dormant since the 2013 film, which received mixed reviews from critics and audiences.
Max Landis has been in the news for his past controversies, including allegations of misconduct and abuse. Despite this, Paramount has decided to move forward with him on the G.I. Joe project.
The decision to hire Landis has raised eyebrows in the industry, with some questioning the wisdom of working with someone who has been accused of misconduct. However, Paramount seems to be willing to take the risk, hoping to revive the G.I. Joe franchise and bring in some much-needed revenue.
The G.I. Joe franchise has a dedicated fan base, and many are excited to see the new film treatment. However, the project's success will ultimately depend on the quality of the script and the direction of the film.
Paramount has not released any further information about the project, including the release date or the cast. However, fans can expect to hear more about the G.I. Joe film treatment in the coming months.
