Joe\u201d for non-American markets, the creation initially was very similar in look and style to G.I. Joe.<\/p>\n<p>Then, the company opted to lean into its Britishness, reinventing itself in the 1990s as a modern adventurer complete with arch-enemies like Dr. X and Professor Gangrene.  A tie-in \u201cAction Man\u201d animated series was also made.<\/p>\n<p>The franchise was revived again in the 2010s with a four-issue limited comic book series from IDW.<\/p>\n<p>Hatt pulled in some stunt men to create a pre-vis  fight to helped sell the action\/comedy film to Hasbro and Working Title.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/movies\/movie-news\/action-man-movie-in-the-works-from-hasbro-working-title-1236660406\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">THR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/sony-sticks-with-playstations-disc-free-future\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sony Sticks With PlayStation\u2019s Disc-Free Future<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/paramount-pushes-for-antitrust-trial-soon\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Paramount Pushes For Antitrust Trial Soon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mill Creek Entertainment Hasbro and Working Title are reportedly developing a film based on the cult British toyline&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":722923,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[94966,96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-722922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722922"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722922\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/722923"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722922"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722922"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
