Sienna Miller Is Pissed Her Action Figure Looks Nothing Like Her

It's Trent, Bitch! — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 20:54:17 +0000

In a new interview with accomplished actress Sienna Miller, the young ingenue is bemoaning the fact that the action figure based on her G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra character The Baroness looks nothing like her. Miller claims that her action figure is “cross-eyed and has the biggest chin you have ever seen” and bears no resemblance to her whatsoever:

Sienna Miller is more than a bit miffed that a new doll of her looks ’sort of posessed’. While most actresses might consider it an honour to have an action figure made in their image, Sienna moaned that the brunette GI Joe was cross-eyed, and had a big chin. The figurine has been made for her new action movie GI Joe: The Rise Of The Cobra. The 27-year-old stars as a femme fatale in a sexy black leather catsuit as The Baroness opposite Channing Tatum. But an annoyed Sienna moaned: ‘My doll is cross-eyed and has the biggest chin you have ever seen. “Action figures are always a bit off, aren’t they? Oddly enough from side on it is definitely me but front on she looks sort of possessed.” But she added: “I’ve got very happy nieces and nephews when they get my doll for Christmas.”

HMMM … perhaps if the toy-makers wanted her action figure to be more recognizable as Sienna Miller it should’ve been packaged with a married man. I mean … ‘cuz then there’d be no doubt. Cue laughter. And we move on. After the jump, check out what some of the action figures created for the movie G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra look like — including Cobra Commander (played by Joseph Gordon Levitt) — whose doll-version gives some clue as to what he will look like in the film …

OK … so Cobra Commander’s action figure isn’t too clear in this photo but it looks like his un-masked, damaged face is featured in his doll-version — never before has Cobra Commander’s face ever been shown in action figure form:

I’m sure G.I. Joe collectors are already scrambling for these action figures of The Baroness, Shana Scarlett O’Hara, Conrad Duke Hauser, Cobra Commander, Courtney Cover Girl Krieger, Destro, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes (all of which can be ordered online). Which one of these new toys will YOU be purchasing for YOUR collections?

Cobra Commander Makes An Appearance In A New ‘G.I. Joe’ Movie Trailer

It's Trent, Bitch! — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 17:41:41 +0000

Back in February we got our FIRST LOOK at Joseph Gordon-Levitt in costume for his role as The Doctor in the upcoming Summer blockbuster film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. In the film, Gordon-Levitt’s character The Doctor eventually becomes Cobra Commander … and his appearance has been kept top secret leading up to the release of the film. But, with only a few weeks until the film opens in theaters, it is time to get more acquainted with The Doctor. Here are a few screencaps (and promo pics) from the Japanese trailer for G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra:

I would say about 95% of the Japanese trailer contains footage that we’ve seen in the other trailers that have been released here in the US but this one includes the extra scene of The Doctor standing next to James McCullen (Destro) in the first few seconds of the video. After the jump, if you are so inclined, check out the full Japanese trailer that features for the first time Joseph Gordon-Levitt …

As I said, for the most part we’ve already seen all of the footage … but the inclusion of JGL’s character is new and very exciting. I still have high hopes that this movie will be fun. I’m dying to see how they show the evolution of The Doctor into Cobra Commander and I can’t wait to see Destro get his shiny metal head :)

A New Batch Of ‘G.I. Joe’ Movie Posters Is Upon Us

It's Trent, Bitch! — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 22:49:38 +0000

Last month I posted a pretty cool movie poster that was believed to be a new promo poster for the upcoming action flick G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra (based on the wildly successful toy, cartoon, comics line) but, in fact, turned out to be merely a fan creation. Today we get a batch of 6 new movie posters that are the real, genuine deal. Here is the official G.I. Joe movie poster that features Channing Tatum (or a very nice body double) as Sgt. Duke Hauser:

Paramount Pictures and Hasbro, whose previous collaboration was the worldwide blockbuster “Transformers,” join forces with Spyglass Entertainment for another extraordinary action-adventure “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.” From the Egyptian desert to deep below the polar ice caps, the elite G.I. JOE team uses the latest in next-generation spy and military equipment to fight the corrupt arms dealer Destro and the growing threat of the mysterious Cobra organization to prevent them from plunging the world into chaos. The film stars Channing Tatum, Dennis Quaid, Sienna Miller, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Said Taghmaoui, Marlon Wayans, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Still no sign of Cobra Commander (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) but the first movie trailer for G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra will make its debut during the Superbowl this Sunday … mebbe we’ll get a peek at him this weekend? After the jump, check out 4 more posters that feature The Baroness (the first of two posters that feature a member of Cobra), Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Ripcord and Storm Shadow (the second Cobra member) …

Nice, nice … these posters are very cool-looking. While I’m still kinda concerned about the bad review that came out from someone who’s been able to see footage from the film, I’m totally reserving judgment. I love G.I. Joe so much … I don’t want this movie to suck. Chicken fillets aside, I’m really looking forward to the release of this movie!

The GI Joe Movie Gets A Title

It's Trent, Bitch! — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:51:17 +0000

Thanks to the industrious folks at the Dutch site Film Blog, who brought along their trusty cameras to the Cinema EXPO in Amsterdam this week, we now know that the new live-action GI Joe movie (which is set for release next year) will be titled GI Joe: Rise of Cobra. This title is prominently featured on a few new posters for the movie which were snapped at the Cinema EXPO event. Here is the poster which features Sargent Duke Hauser, played by Channing Tatum:

Woot! This poster looks great! It’s the perfect look for the live-action version of GI Joe. I’ve mentioned before my fears that a live-action movie version of the GI Joe cartoon might be disappointing but everything that I’ve seen thus far has waylaid those fears. I love the casting, I love the costuming and I love the title of the movie. After the jump, check out two more posters which feature Sienna Miller as The Baroness and Ray Park as Snake Eyes …

Again … the posters look great. Sienna makes a great Baroness … she’s got the look down, now all I need to know is that she’s got the great Baroness accent down as well. The Snake Eyes character is just a badass mofo. He won’t be speaking at all … he’ll just be kicking ass. Okay … so we have a movie title … now we need a release date … I am anxious to get started counting down the days ’til the movie gets released.
