Paramount Pictures may have found a replacement for Jon M. Chu on G.I. Joe 3, with The Hollywood Reporter. revealing that D.J. Caruso is in talks to direct the film.
Caruso is best know for directing Eagle Eye and I am Number Four, and has done his fair share of action so he would seem to be an appropriate choice for the Joes’ third outing. Recently Martin Campbell (GoldenEye) was also rumoured to be in talks to direct.
