Well it looks like another casting for the G.I. Joe film has been made, and it is another model. We get the news from moviesonline:
Today IESB has revealed who will play Cover Girl, the object of every Joes affection. The role is apparently going to be filled by Czech super model Karolína Isela Kurková. She is best known as a Victoria Secret Angel but has since been trying to break away from modeling to work in film. So that is why we are seeing her in this role.
The rest of the cast includes Dennis Quaid (General Hawk), Channing Tatum (Duke Hauser), Arnold Vosloo (Zartan), David Murray (Destro), Sienna Miller (The Baroness), Ray Park (Snake Eyes), Rachel Nichols (Scarlett), Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Heavy Duty), Said Taghmaoui (Breaker), Marlon Wayans (Ripcord), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Rex) and Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow) in the live action G.I Joe directed by Stephen Sommers set to be released August 7, 2009.
Betty and Veronica, Mary Anne and Ginger, Scarlet and Lady J. These are the female pairings that have caused us to choose “either or” since we were kids. They are yin and yang, one should not exist without the other. I certainly hope Cover Girl is not going to take the spot of Lady J in the movie. This would piss me off almost as much as the fact that Roadblock is not in the movie. Lady J throws futuristic spears for crying out loud! At least it makes sense to cat a model for the role of Cover Girl, but I hope Lady J has not been dumped for the sake of adding eye candy.
I gotta say folks, I think I am officially and totally uninterested in this film. I will still see it, and hope for good things – but I would now put money down that it is going to fucking suck. It pains me to say it; I have been waiting for this film for over 20 years – but I cannot ignore the news any longer, this thing looks like it is shaping up to be a cluster-fuck, and that is unfortunate.
What do you guys think? Are you still holding out hope or have you jumped ship?
