Paramount Pictures' latest cinematic Hasbro toy franchise entry Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins earns a Blu-ray, 4K UHD Blu-ray, and 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray 3-Movie Collection on October 19th, 2021
Classic 80s cartoons make for great toys but they don't always make for great movies based on said toys. In their latest attempt to make a live-action G.I. Joe movie, Paramount banked heavily one an origin story for one of the most popular characters with Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. Whether it was the lingering pandemic affecting theater attendance or just the simple fact people weren't keen on another Joe adventure - the film was hardly a flicker at the global box office leading to some doubt about any future Joe adventures. Still - I know a few G.I. Joe diehards that had a blast with it for just pure dumb fun action.
If this Nicolas Cage-free Snake Eyes is in your wheelhouse, you have a few options and all are up for pre-order:
A standard 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray
A 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray SteelBook
A G.I. Joe 3-Film 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Collection if you don't already own the first two films on 4K
and for you folks still rocking 1080p, there's going to be a standard SDR Blu-ray
and a standard SDR G.I. Joe 3-Film Collection Blu-ray Set
As always dates are subject to change, but this looks to be a firm release frame for this one. Thanks for your pre-orders, they go a long way towards helping to keep our little operation going.
Here's the full press release from Paramount:
