Bradley Cooper officially boarded the new G.I. JOE reboot last month, and distributor Paramount Pictures has now set the movie for a wide theatrical release on October 20, 2028.
The new G.I. JOE movie will be directed by comedy star Danny McBride, who co-wrote the screenplay with his collaborators from the HBO series "The Righteous Gemstones," Jeff Fradley and John Carcieri. The first installment will follow the Joes as they infiltrate Springfield, a town secretly controlled by Cobra. Reports also suggest that the reboot will operate on a smaller scale than the franchise’s three previous live-action films.

Cooper previously appeared alongside McBride in "Aloha" and later made a guest appearance on "The Righteous Gemstones," which McBride co-created and stars in. McBride is reportedly hoping to recruit more of his celebrity friends for the film, though no additional cast members have been announced.
Paramount also announced that the eighth movie in its flagship horror franchise "Paranormal Activity" has moved from May 21, 2027, to October 22, 2027. Horror heavyweight James Wan will join the franchise as a producer for the first time through Blumhouse Atomic, the company formed by the merger of Atomic Monster and Blumhouse.
