And now he’s also looking to produce …
Like many of you, I too was doing my best Darth Vader NNNNNNNOOOOOOO! impersonation after hearing that GI Joe Retaliation had been pushed back a whopping nine months, in order for Paramount to maximize their profits. They’re adding a 3D layer to the surface of the film as well, in order to attract that section of the market, much to …
