Overview
- Paramount announced Friday that Danny McBride’s reimagined G.I. Joe will open wide on October 20, 2028.
- Bradley Cooper is attached to star as Duke and McBride will direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jeff Fradley and John Carcieri.
- The picture is produced for Hasbro Entertainment by Lorenzo di Bonaventura, Mark Vahradian and Zev Foreman, with the studio treating the project as a fresh starting point rather than a continuation of past films.
- Paramount and Blumhouse Atomic moved the new Paranormal Activity to October 22, 2027 and will jointly finance the film with Paramount handling worldwide distribution.
- The reset follows weak box-office returns for the 2021 Snake Eyes spin-off and reflects Hasbro’s strategy of recruiting high-profile creative teams to rebuild franchise value, with production targeting 2027 and casting expected to continue through that window.
