MySpace debuted the first full trailer (i.e. not a quickie teaser) for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra today, which opens in theatres on August 7.
Based on Hasbro’s action figures, not to mention the Marvel comic book series, and the popular cartoon, the film was directed by Stephen Sommers, and tells the story of an elite American fighting force taking on the ultimate terrorist group known as Cobra.
During what is sure to be a huge blockbuster summer, complete with wizards, transforming robots, and raving mutants, Paramount is ramping up promotion for what could be one of their biggest films this year, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
