BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Meet the lovely ladies of GI Joe


Meet the lovely ladies of GI Joe

Female characters in military-action-fantasy films are often second-class citizens, reduced to serving as eye candy and standing on the sidelines while the guys handle the heroics and/or the villainy, but that ain't the case with G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Yes, the guys figure prominently, but the ladies are the guys' equals in every way.

What are we talking about here? Well, in the movie, which opens Friday, Sienna Miller (Stardust) plays Ana, better known as the butt-kicking, duplicitous baddie the Baroness. Rachel Nichols (Star Trek, Alias) is one of the protagonists, Scarlett, who's both book-brilliant and a martial-arts master. They fight everyone and anyone and, of course, each other.

"That's what really appealed to me about the script, was the fact these women hold their own," Miller said in an exclusive joint interview with Nichols on Saturday in New York. "I imagined, like [many people will], that they'd probably just be the eye candy, and instead they're fully developed, they both have arcs. They're strong, and they're good fighters."

Nichols nodded in agreement. "Yeah, we can play with the boys," she said. "We can go toe to toe with them. We can prove that G.I. Joe is not just for boys, obviously. That was great. It's always nice to see [that]."

Much of G.I. Joe was shot on green screens, with the effects added in later. As a result, Miller and Nicholas said that seeing the completed film for the first time was an eye-opening experience.

"We all saw the film for the first time in Australia, at the beginning of the press tour," Nichols said. "When you're making a film with CG, even though a lot of it is actually live-action, you really have to trust your director. When he said, 'This is what it's going to look like in the final product,' you just have to sort of go with the flow and agree. [Director] Stephen [Sommers] really, I think, went above and beyond and exceeded all expectations."

Miller added, "Yeah, we really loved it. We were cheering. It was really funny, because it was just the cast watching it, and Marlon [Wayans] came on, and we were like, 'Whoooo!' And with Channing [Tatum], we were like, 'Yeah!' and screaming the whole way through and laughing at things, little in jokes. But it was so much fun. I think it's a great film."

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure...
