You can now put the Gi Joe X Transformers film in the development hell category. While it had some momentum with Chris Hemsworth joining the project and a writer attached, the departure of Caple Jr as director has brought the plans back to square one. We know this from a recent interview with Lorenzo di Bonaventura who is spearheading this film's development.

This interview is from Screen rant who he said this to:

Live-action we are going to deliver a G.I. Joe crossover. I hesitate using the word crossover because I think people think different things about what that means. For me, what it means is the Joes are going to be in the Transformers world and be present. I think every movie is sort of a balancing act of "How much do you have this? And in this movie, how funny can we be? How serious? How do you cross that line? How do you hide the villain?" All those sort of balancing things that you're doing. We're still in the early process, in a way, of trying to figure out the balance.

Sounds like they only have the concept of a plan as of now. While this is more of a nothing burger story, what we can gather from this is that the film is nowhere close to being filmed as they don't even have any major plot details hashed out for it yet. So anyone looking forward to this film should be very very patient.

Great minds think alike.

But yeah when I read that Di Bonaventura word salad, that line came to mind right away.

Before thinking about making a X-Over movie, they should do ONE great pure Joe movie.
Something that would have a good balance between the campyness of Sunbow, and the more "serious" tones of the latest generations.

What's is your opinion on the three current existing GI Joe live action films?

Sad, sad garbage. They could have removed the Joe name and it would have been just nameless generic trash. That include Snake Eye.

Given the (mostly) cursed cross-over history between the two franchises, I am content with it being the film equivalent of vaporware. Especially if di Bonaventura and co. are anywhere near it.
