G. I. Joe - Rise of Cobra director fired?

[skyfire]

ENI is reporting a rumor that has been posted over on another site.

If the story is to be believed, the film scored so poorly with test audiences that the director has been canned and another guy has been brought in to re-edit the film.

Supposedly, the producer - born and raised in Italy - had no clue as to what the franchise was all about and so sat back and watched as the director repeatedly got stupid.

Ok, who here looked at the full length trailer and didn't think "Ok, this is going to suck donkey balls".

And I was looking forward to this, right up intil I saw the trailer.

A friend of mine (who had never heard of G.I. Joe before) actually loved the trailer. But he has a rather horrible taste in films.
