The Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner sat down with MTV officials to talk about the upcoming G.I.Joe movie which is set to premiere in theaters on August 7th, 2009.

The only real new update in the talk was that Goldner claimed that the movie will focus mainly on the original 155 issue Marvel Comic book run of G.I.Joe! So start buying those before the prices go up!

This move would sidestep the 1980's television series all-together.

Goldner went on to add that writer Larry Hama, consultant for the film could also have a cameo in the movie which could please some fanboys of his writing on the Marvel series!

For those fans of the G.I.Joe toys line, there was also info by Goldner that Hasbro would of course be making movie based toys!

However these toys would be of the same scale with the traditional 1980's toy line, that of 3 3/4".

So far the cast for G.I.Joe Film includes Ray Parks (as Snake-Eyes), Sienna Miller (Baroness) and Rachel Nichols (Scarlett).

Also Said Taghmaoui (as Breaker), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Heavy Duty), Arnold Vosloo (Zartan) and Karolína Isela Kurková (Cover Girl)... whew!! That is a large cast!

Robert E Howard, (REH), created Belit, Red Sonja, Conan The Barbarian, King Kull, Solomon Kane and others during his short life in Texas!

Marvel Comics included Belit in the Conan The Barbarian Comics in the 1970's culminating in the Death of Belit in Conan's issue #100!

Belit was first published in 1934 when REH had his 'Queen of the Black Coast' story printed in the May 1934 issue of Weird Tales!

Basically, Conan found Belit as follows: In the seacoast kingdom of Argos, after a brush with the Hyborian legal system, Conan hops aboard a southward bound ship. Off the coasts of Kush the ship is boarded by black corsairs under the Shemitish she-devil, Bêlit. Conan joins her crew, becomes her consort, and for a long time they harry the Hyborian and Stygian ports. During this stage of his career, Conan gains the name of Amra, the Lion, which is to follow him throughout his later life!

Check out our newest listings, including the Pocket Books and Red Sonja, Conan the Barbarian Comics and more Sword & Sorcery Comics listings by clicking the top right Belit figure!
