MUMBAI: The trend of sequels seems to have taken over Hollwood, with Zack Synder already in talks of a Man of Steel sequel, and Jason Blum planning another installment for his recent BO shocker The Purge, it is Paramount and MGM‘s turn to make a deal with Jon M. Chu to helm another installment of G.I. Joe.
 
The high octane franchise that started with 2009‘s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, saw a makeover done by Chu in 2013‘s G.I Joe Retaliation starring Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis in the lead. The movie was refashioned entirely, with Paramount Studios having pulled the film from its 2012 release to make it 3D and do some creative visual enhancements.
 
The studio‘s effort was paid off well with G.I Joe Retaliation raking in $ 365 million worldwide. The studio has also played a similar gamble with its latest upcoming Brad Pitt starrer World War Z, which has begun to generate a positive buzz following its zombie driven trailers, although the movie was prematurely written off because of its production issues initially.
