I couldn't find a thread for this, and for some reason the search function thinks the words "GI" and "Joe" are too common to bother searching.
I figured a lot of people here are G.I. Joe fans (I'm not), so it would please you all to know that the movie has been greenlit.

IGN Filmforce reports:
Commence with the "this is going to suck because Hollywood doesnt know anything"ing.IGN Filmforce said:Trusted sources have informed IGN that Paramount Pictures has now given G.I. Joe the green-light with a budget said to be $170 million. Filming begins in early 2008 under the direction of Stephen Sommers (Van Helsing).

The most interesting piece of information we gleaned, however, is that Paramount isn't rushing G.I. Joe into production because of the looming Writers Guild strike, but rather -- as our sources claim -- because the studio stands to lose the rights to the property if it doesn't shoot soon. Hasbro and their reps at the William Morris Agency control G.I. Joe so if Paramount doesn't make the film within a specific window of time they could lose out on another potentially lucrative film franchise a la Transformers.
