Mummy Director on GI Joe

It's official and confirmed, readers. Director Stephen Sommers is back on for the live action adaptation of G.I. JOE, says Robert at IESB and Variety. He was first announced earlier this month as being the director and then a week later, there were whispers about Paramount rejecting the "salary price" that director Sommers wanted for the gig. Apparently, that's been worked out between the parties because the studio has now confirmed he will be the director in another team production between Paramount & Hasbro (same team to adapt TRANSFORMERS). Variety is saying that Sommers pitched his version of the film to the studio executives on Wednesday night and was hired on the spot after they were satisfied with what they heard.
