Opening in theaters and on VOD May 11th from producer Joel Silver's Dark Castle Home Entertainment and After Dark Films is After Dark Action, which showcases five original, adrenaline-pumping films. The series includes El Gringo starring Scott Adkins (The Bourne Ultimatum), and Christian Slater (True Romance), Transit starring Jim Caviezel (TV's Person of Interest), James Frain (Tron: Legacy), Harold Perrineau (The Matrix), and Elisabeth Rohm (TV's Law & Order), Philly Kid starring Wes Chatham (The Help), Devon Sawa (Final Destination), Kristopher Van Varenberg (Universal Soldier: Regeneration), Michael Jai White (The Dark Knight), and Neal McDonough (Captain America: The First Avenger), Stash House starring Dolph Lundgren (The Punisher), Briana Evigan (Sorority Row), Sean Faris (Never Back Down), and Jon Huertas (TV's Castle), and Dragon Eyes starring Jean-Claude Van Damme (Timecop), Cung Le (Tekken), Kristopher Van Varenberg (Universal Soldier: Regeneration) and Peter Weller (Robocop). 

IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had a chance to sit down with actor Cung Le to discuss his work in After Dark Action: Dragon Eyes, as well as his upcoming film The Man with the Iron Fists. 

Paramount Pictures has unveiled the final domestic poster for next month's action-figure-based sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation.  The one sheet has the requisite Photoshop effects, three characters holding guns, one character rocking a sword, and one faceless villain who may or may not also be holding a weapon of some sort.

Yesterday, a new domestic trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation dropped plenty of quips, lots of action, and the utter devastation of London thanks to some insidious Cobra machinations.  Today, Paramount Pictures has followed up that theatrical trailer with an international version that actually changes it up a bit.  Those G.I. Joe elements are still present, but there are fewer quips and considerably more ninjas doing ninja stuff.

A full theatrical trailer for the Hasbro sequel G.I. Retaliation has arrived online, setting up the basic story, such as it is, and throwing out a lot of quips, visual effects, action beats, and pretty much everything you'd expect from a G.I. Joe sequel trailer.

We've previously seen a bunch of images from the upcoming sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and they consisted pretty much exclusively of characters wielding guns and swords.  There's more of that today, as eight new images from Hasbro and Paramount's sequel/sorta rebootish have arrived online, showing Roadblock, Jinx, and Snake Eyes all getting their guns and swords on.  That's not all, though, there are also comparatively relaxed stills in which castmembers are not sporting lethal weapons.

The big summer action movie is a notable export of these United States, and it's no surprise, since explosions and cool sword fights are like a universal language.  Dwayne Johnson may speak English, but his emphatic delivery and swaggering charisma are also universally appealing, so both are amply on display in two new international spots for G.I. Joe: Retaliation.  Both commercials fit templates established by previous Retaliation marketing, but you'll find some new footage, too.

Yesterday, a still from the upcoming sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation showed returning G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra character Snake Eyes casually pointing a handgun.  At the time, I bemoaned that the picture didn't showcase Dwayne Johnson's ridiculous musculature or Adrianne Palicki's general greatness.  Well today, two of three new images from G.I. Joe: Retaliation contain both of those things.  Huzzah.

Paramount Pictures has revealed a brand new official image from the upcoming sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation.  It doesn't feature Dwayne Johnson flexing, Bruce Willis smirking, or even Adrianne Palicki being amazing.  Instead, it has the perpetually masked Snake Eyes striking a pose.  Though the character never speaks, his body language has him channeling his inner Harry Callahan, and you can almost here him saying, "You've got to ask yourself one question, 'Do I feel lucky?'  Well, do you, punk?"

Synopsis: A follow-up to the 2009 release of G.I. JOE: RISE OF THE COBRA, which grossed over $300M worldwide, Paramount Pictures, MGM and Skydance Productions, in association with HASBRO and di Bonaventura Pictures, commences production on G.I. JOE: RETALIATION. In this sequel, the G.I. Joes are not only fighting their mortal enemy Cobra; they are forced to contend with threats from within the government that jeopardize their very existence.

The Super Bowl TV spot for the sequel/sorta reboot G.I. Joe: Retaliation has erstwhile The Rock Dwayne Johnson quoting no less a source of earthly wisdom than Jay-Z.  A new trailer has Johnson as Roadblock once again laying down the rhetorical law, this time explaining to  cohort, "Here's how it works: G.I. Joes, we're a fist.  How do we strike?  Together."
