G.I. JOE 3 Was Originally a TRANSFORMERS Crossover Film

We still don't know when the third G.I. Joe movie will be released, or what it will be about, but we do know that a Transformers crossover was being heavily weighed as the next step! Director D.J. Caruso tells Collider it was the Transformers team that halted the deal...

"They’re not ready to do [G.I. Joe meets Transformers] yet. That’s exactly what they should do, but they’re not ready to do that because, in fact, the script that I was developing, the two worlds sort of collided at the end, and when they read it they were like, ‘We’re not ready to do this yet.’ They will eventually collide those two worlds, and it’s probably when Mr. Bay decides he’s done with Transformers."

Sounds like a little bitterness from Caruso towards Michael Bay! To be fair to Bay, combining the two franchises when they are both box office successes internationally doesn't sound like a move you make when you're still making money. I'm guessing when we start to see one franchise tanking, then we will see the crossover movie. 

Caruso still believes the two franchises will share a film down the road, and I think that's an absolutely awesome idea. As someone who has taken a hard pass on the latest offerings from both franchises, that would put my butt in a seat! What about you?
