Short List of Possible G.I. JOE Sequel Directors

Movie G.I. Joe by Joey Paur

Since Stephen Sommers dropped out of the directors chair for the G.I. Joe movie sequel Paramount Studios has been trying to find someone to fill his shoes. It doesn't really matter to me who takes on the sequel at this point, becuase the movie franchise for G.I. Joe is already ruined for me, which is unfortunate, becuase this was my favorite cartoon as a kid. The only way they can save it is to just reboot the whole damned thing and start over. 

Our friends at Latino Review got the scoop on a short list of directors who are currently in the running to take over Sommers' duties. These directors are...

Jaume Collet-Serra (House of Wax, Unknown), F Gary Gray (The Italian Job, Law Abiding Citizen), and John Chu (Step up 3D). It's not really an impressive list of directors, but considering the fact that Sommers has already ruined the franchise, who cares who directs it? It's not like it can be any worse. I also have no idea how Chu is in the running for this. 

If I had to choose from the three, I'd go with F Gary Gray, becuase he seems like he's the most talented of the lot, and I've enjoyed most of the movies he's made.

Who would you want to see direct G.I. Joe 2?
