From the very beginning , even after the first number of the comic , I got fortune and lots of letters , hundreds of them . I take in it had to be interactive . If the fans did n’t like it , it was gone . It ’s because of you , it ’s your narration .

When we did transformer , we had to witness a human manner into the story . With GI Joe , there are a lot of humans .

I ’m big on childlike plots and complex fictitious character … I tried to mould the movie on Raiders of The Lost Ark. alternatively of ten four minute action sequence , we have four ten minute action sequence . I ’m serious ; there are only four activeness sequences , and they just keep catch bigger and magnanimous … They ’re such rich quality , I want to verify that they were well represented … In Holy Order to handle with all the characters , we thought sequels would be the best path to go .
The team were very percipient about The Rise of Cobra being the first of a be after serial publication , as when di Bonaventura discussed the monolithic budget for the movie :
Paramount open us more money to make this first movie than they did on Transformers .
