So just hours after Latino Review reported that Stephen Sommers was fired off of G.I. Joe, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura came to his rescue. Check out what the producer said of his director:
"We had three test screenings, three different times and tested it and each time it just got better and better," he said. "We started off in a good place and we ended up in even in a better place, which is what you hope on a film from testing it."
To me, this is just damage control. I've seen the trailer and believe me, it's more than enough reason to fire a director. Di Bonaventura continues:
"It's very unfair to Steve; It's completely untrue - he was never asked to leave or been fired or any of that. That's ridiculous. The movie tested very well."
Wow... seems like Matt and I are not the only ones that agree to disagree ;-)
