Paramount pictures released the first trailer of SNAKES EYES ,the upcoming G.I. joe spin off that revolve around the beginning of its tittle charcter, snakes eyes , who goes on to become one of the orignal member of the G.I. JOE special military unit.
The movie, which is being billed as an origin story (its official title is Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins) will dive into the backstory of a character typically only known in the G.I. Joe franchise for being a lethal fighter who always wears a mask. Of course, given that we've already been treated to character posters and new images from the film that indicate otherwise, it'll be interesting to see exactly what happens in Snake Eyes' history that prompts him to eventually don that face-obscuring helmet.
The film, set to bow July 23, stars Henry Golding as Snake Eyes, a tenacious loner who is welcomed into an ancient Japanese clan called the Arashikage after saving the life of their heir apparent. Upon arrival in Japan, the Arashikage teach Snake Eyes the ways of the ninja warrior, while also providing something he’s been longing for a home.
But when secrets from his past are revealed, Snake Eyes’ honor and allegiance will be tested – even if that means losing the trust of those closest to him.
Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura told Entertainment Weekly that “Snake Eyes” will answer some key questions about the character, based on the Hasbro toy of the same name. Fans will learn Snake Eyes’ real name, who he is and where he came from.
From Paramount, Skydance and AllSpark, “Snake Eyes” is directed by Robert Schwentke, written by Evan Spiliotopoulos. The film is executive produced by Jeff G. Waxman and produced by Bonaventura, Brian Goldner, Stephen Davis, David Ellison, Josh Feldman, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger.
Based on the iconic G.I. Joe character, Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins also stars Andrew Koji as Storm Shadow, Úrsula Corberó as The Baroness, Samara Weaving as Scarlett, Haruka Abe as Akiko, Tahehiro Hira as Kenta and Iko Uwais as Hard Master.
