Ignorant about women in Hollywood is something I'm not. I know enough about the industry to know that they hire more for name than talent, and that's what they did here. Most people on this site have no idea how things in the industry work. Casting can be specific, it can take into account peoples perception about the subject matter before the casting has been secured. Look at Harrison Ford, he really wanted to be Han Solo.
I don't think she has ever seen or read a GI Joe Comic and is that so strange? No. But to do some research would be nice. Respectful of the fans would be a plus in my book. Caliburn, sir...you are the ignorant one! |

Maybe you should? No offense to you or your Direct to Video career, but she is a well known actress in a 170-Million dollar projected film. I think whatever she is doing ~ is working quite well for her! I don't see how you approach indie films is relevant to her very successful movie career.
She really sounds like she is having fun. Most of the cast at this point have said something "Offensive" to us. Who cares, get over it! Harrison Ford for years has down played how "Silly" Star Wars was, is. William Shatner the same thing for Star Trek. The simple truth is this ~ it is a movie based partially on a fifty year old toy line, with a pinch of the comics, cartoons and 80's toys all thrown into the mix. This is not Schindler's List! |

You can now play it off how you want. But I'm obviously not the only one who took it as you coming across as being ignorant to the movie business. But if you were trying to be witty(?) it was lost in translation.

for the same reason an actor doesn't have to know, care or respect the history of G.I. Joe to portray the characters within the pages of the script which are their own entities that simply share some characteristics with those characters past representations. it is as arbitrary as a grip caring about the history as well.
perhaps I should have included the sarcasm code in my prior post. |

and how exactly has she been disrespectful of the fans? by not taking the subject matter as serious as some of you? if that is the case, you are simply to sensitive and defensive of G.I. Joe, and you really shouldn't be.
I find it hypocritical that it be expected that she "respect" the fans when a lot fans in this thread have been nothing but disrespectful of her. remember, we are the one's obsessed with this material, but someone else not being in no way, shape, or form reflects anything negative about them. in fact, most reasonable people would probably believe it is the other way around. the "respect" card is just a way for people to pass the buck on behavior. |

Caliburn, sir...you are the ignorant one! Harrison Ford was / is an actor and wanted a part in a film. Same thing with Sienna Miller for GI Joe. They do not need prior knowledge to play a character that has never been played by anyone before. As far as the women of Hollywood, you are now coming across as that guy who says he has a girlfriend but wont say her name. Only that we wouldn't know her. Whatever you say. If you have your finger on the pulse when it comes to the women of Hollywood, good for you. |

Caliburn, sir...you are the ignorant one! He understood and loved the subject matter. Also, there was no Han Solo before Harrison Ford, an out of work actor, wanted the role. He only existed on a crappy script. HF only acted like himself. The Baroness is a maniacal gun toting hottie with a bad accent that I love. I don't want "Atonement". And in your own words, they hire on name. The industry is driven by talented actors and hot actresses with no talent. That's why year in, year out, it's been films dominated by male actors that have gotten the creds and in most cases the women can barely even get supporting actress consideration because their roles are merely filler eye candy roles. Note, these films aren't action blockbusters either. While I think this is stupid, it's not going to be any different for GI Joe.... ...on another note. Since when is Famke Jansen considered a good actress? |
