Honest to God, before this week, I had no idea who Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick were, but they seem to be making all of the right moves to insure that changes.

You’re probably wondering who they are too, so let me refresh you.

Reese & Wernick burst onto the scene this past fall with the super awesome genre hit (and BoR Best of ‘09 winner) Zombieland.

Then, earlier this week, it was announced that they were going to be writing the much anticipated/dreaded (in equal amounts) film adaptation of the ever popular Deadpool character.

Now, today, comes word that they’ll be tag-teaming the script for the sequel to GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra, this past summer’s not so great adaptation of the classic toy line/80’s toon.

Personally, I didn’t think much of the Joe flick aside from a few key moments (the Cobra Commander reveal was awesome), but apparently I’m wrong, as it grossed over $300 Mil worldwide.

My big worry - Reese & Wernick are obviously talented dudes, but are they stretching themselves too thin?  Between a possible Zombieland 2 in 3D, the Deadpool flick and GI Joe 2, that’s a LOT of work, even for two people working together.  Maybe the schedules don’t overlap as tightly as I’d think.
