In today’s edition of stupid comic book/animated cartoons that become movies. British pinup Sienna Miller of all people is the first actor announced as officially signed up for the upcoming “G.I. Joe” movie. Now Variety doesn’t say exactly who she is playing, but they do say, “the British actress will play the film’s female lead, described as a raven-haired baroness and sexy femme fatale skilled in espionage.” So this makes her the evil Cobra character the Baroness, right? Der. Guess she’s got a dye job in store for herself.
Though there was Scarlett on the good guys team, but she was/is a red head. It’s weird to think of the Baroness as a lead character in the G.I. Joe/Cobra world of things, she always seemed more of a side player in the cartoon (man, we just revealed the inner nerd inside).
In related nerd news. It appears that Common’s appearance as the Green Lantern in the misguided, rush-it-out-before-the-strike “Justice League” movie is all but a fait accompli according to most of the nerd movie sites on the web (all of them). Told you so.
