MTV recently chatted with Lady Jaye actress Adrianne Palicki, who appears not only in GI Joe Retaliation but a remake of the Cold War-era flick, Red Dawn. Turns out that Palicki was a huge fan of Jinx when she was younger. She also mentions that Retaliation is a reboot:
Palicki: It was a pleasant surprise, because this is a reboot. It’s scary going into the shoes that have already been worn. We wanted to do something really unique and special. With such an amazing group of talented actors, you don’t want it to fall flat. How many people reached out, it’s unbelievable to hear the comments that they’re so excited, that the trailer is better than the first movie was. Just really cool reactions that you’re going, “OK, hopefully we don’t let you down.” I really don’t think we will. I think it’s going to be a really fun ride for everybody.The cast was able to perform their own stunts, which is definitely right up Snake Eyes actor Ray Park‘s alley.
Though Jinx was Palicki’s favorite, Lady Jaye isn’t so bad, though this time around, she won’t be sporting some javelins:
MTV: What was the scariest thing you had to do on set?
Palicki: We did have to scale a wall, but after seeing “Mission: Impossible 4,” I’m like, “Well, I guess it wasn’t that scary.” An 18-foot wall compared to a skyscraper. The fun thing is that we get to do a lot of our own stunts.
MTV: Were you a fan of “G.I. Joe” when you were growing up?
Palicki: Oh yeah, definitely. I have a big brother, so anything he liked, I liked. He was super big into comic books, so I was super big into comic books. He was super big into G.I. Joe, and I wanted to be Jinx so badly. I don’t know just if it was that she was wearing a red costume or what, but I wanted to be a ninja.
MTV: Were you disappointed to be Lady Jaye then?
Palicki: Lady Jaye’s a badass. I couldn’t really be disappointed with Lady Jaye. She’s the one chick in the boys club. She can hold her own. She doesn’t get the staff, but she is a weapons specialist. She has that going for her.

I didn't know Red Dawn was coming out this year, or maybe I did, but forgot again. LOL. And I didn't know Thor dude is gonna be in it too. But I wonder if she really liked G.I. Joe as a kid, or she just made up that cover story. Like when they asked Sienna Guillory if she had played the Resident Evil games and she said she did, but by the way she was talking about them she obviously didn't. LOL.

MTV is nothing more than a circle jerk corporate sound-piece for the media outlets. Clips promoting Palicki for example are nothing more than paid "product placements".
MTV used to do what their name indicated. That is play music videos. Nowadays, that is the last thing they do.
Palicki being on MTV (a Viacom company) is only making an effort for Paramount (another Viacom company) to promote this movie while the time is available before the summer.
It really doesn't matter what Palicki says. Whether it is true or not. She is paid to get on the promoting tour bandwagon to get as many people in the theaters as possible. Regardless about how good or bad the film may be.
Just sit back and wait till the end of June to finally here whether the movie will be worth the $10 bucks to see.
My key deciding factor will be if Paramount allows the newspaper film critics to screen the film before opening night. If not, then we all know the studio has little faith in the film and is just trying to get as many people into the theater before the reviews hit on Saturday.
This is key to predicting the movie. I couldn't care less what Palicki says. I have seen plenty of brilliant actors and actresses waste their talents in a movie that was horribly written and/or directed. Anyone remember Judge Dredd with Stallone. A film with absolutely everything. Million$$$$ and a super star. But no story.
I recall Sienna Miller had nothing good to say about RoC after the movie was out and when she was out of obligatory public spots to showcase the putrid piece. We will have to wait! At least I will to cast final judgement. It is just too early to decide based on a few select words.

I guess Willis' part isn't that big since he only filmed for a week and left...

Good Lord! Sometimes movies aren't good, even if they're promoted on MTV! I am astounded by this revelation! Along with the knowledge that I can only enjoy a movie and consider it "good" if the reviews come out before Saturday, rather than basing it on my own individual tastes, my mind is officially blown.

Willis doesn't like to fuck around on his shoots. He likes to get as much done in as little time possible. Being around for a week doesn't surprise me if he's only in the movie for 20 minutes or so.
