" Jon M Chu made a name for himself directing Step Up movies and Justin Bieber&amp;#039;s concert doc Never Say Never, but now he finds himself in charge of blockbuster sequel GI Joe: Retaliation Chu spoke to Digital Spy about the challenges of shifting from &amp;quot;The Biebs&amp;quot; to Bruce Willis, his love for Joe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures, and why some of Roadblock&amp;#039;s (Dwayne Johnson) skills as a gourmet chef didn&amp;#039;t make the final cut.  The director also discussed finding inspiration from an unlikely source for his GI Joe war room set: Stanley Kubrick. &amp;quot;I love Dr Strangelove,&amp;quot; said Chu. &amp;quot;The whole tone of the movie has a Dr Strangelove feel to it. Joe was always playing with current events, going over the top and satirising. &amp;quot;The round table was an homage to that scene, we just tried to push it even more with Jonathan Pryce and have fun with it.&amp;quot; GI Joe: Retaliation opens in cinemas today (Wednesday, March 27).
