Thanks to our excerpts from the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra – Mission Dossier, we’ve already been able to take you inside the Convoy Attack sequence and give you a look at the development that went into the film’s Viper soliders. Well since that coverage has been pretty centered on the evil forces of Cobra, I figure it’s time to provide a look at the world of G.I. Joe. And what better place to start than with their headquarters? Located miles beneath the sands of Egypt, this multi-national base of operations – spoken of in whispers and known only as “The Pit” – is a state of the art facility designed to train men and women to be something more than soliders…it trains them to be members of G.I. Joe. This ten-page look inside the book, which is available now both in stores and online, features quotes from producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, production designer Ed Verreaux and set decorator Kate Sullivan as they discuss the creative journey that brought the Pit to life on film. Check it out below by clicking on any of the images to make them bigger, then stay tuned for our next excerpt – a chapter that shows what happens when the base’s formidable security is breached…
HEH HEH, ADDING THE “KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE” SLOGAN IN THE REC ROOM WAS A NICE TOUCH!
Uh, what exactly is Destro doing to Breaker in that one pic?
(I’ve been hanging around yaoi fans too much…)
