Stephen Sommers Talks G.I. Joe

Source:  Entertainment Weekly, Toy Man
Entertainment Weekly recently sat down with G.I. Joe director Stephen Sommers to dispel some rumors about the film. Mainly the director wanted to talk about Sienna Miller and how he didn't want her breasts to be enhanced for her role as The Baroness.

Miller was quoted as saying she wears "a tight black leather outfit. And much bigger boobs.... They gave me these things that looked like chicken fillets. The director said, 'I'm gonna be honest, I like girls with big boobs,' and I don't have them so we made them bigger.... At least he's honest. But I was mildly offended."

Sommers says that this is untrue. "Everybody here laughed because they know I would NEVER say that to an actress ... I guess the costume department gave her a tight fitting bra, but no one gave her rubber breasts or whatever. It is 100 percent Sienna Miller."

Sommers also says that Brendan Fraser will be making a cameo in the movie. The Mummy director sees this a nod to the old James Bond movies as Fraser has starred in all three films. "I always loved the old Bonds," he states. "It's funny now how Bond wants to be Bourne. I loved Quantum of Solace, but it was like, man, this is a completely different movie to the Bonds I grew up with. In a very contemporary way, G.I. Joe is inspired by the memory of the kind of movies I saw when I was younger. I remember being in the theater for Thunderball and the big underwater battle at the end of that movie just blew my socks off. In G.I. Joe, there's an underwater battle under the polar icecap that's Thunderball times 10!"

In addition to this Toy News International recently posted the cover for the G.I. Joe Movie Prequel #2. View it below...

Is it just me or does the guy who is playing Destro look a lot like the bad guy in Gone in 60 Seconds and the invisible man in a few Heroes episodes? Or is that-actor lol?

Are you kidding, Chad. I love G.I.Joe! You don't know how many of them I've torched, buried, froze, thawed, maimed, decapitated, dismembered, AND disemboweled in the trenches I dug in my backyard as a kid. I just don't like the guy whose directing the movie.

Space, you and I are the only ones who want to see this movie no matter what lol. It's fucking G.I. Joe for crying out loud. That's like not wanting to see Transformers (back before the movie came out 2 years ago). If this sucks, oh well. At least they finally made it. Took them a long ass time. I had this idea for 14 years now lol.

Now I'm very intrigued. For starters I completely forgot Sommers was doing this movie. Already I'm there. Second, the Bond-esque feel behind it all throws me front row, center I'm ready for this movie now!

Im sorry the little i see and hear about this movie sounds horrible. Also shouldnt it be a little concerning to all that a blockbuster movie of this nature is set to come out in about 7 months yet there has been no teaser or trailer?

SSSAAAAAWWWWWEEEEEETTTTT I'm getting more hyped up for this! I don't care if this sucks or it's a blast, I'm still whatching this! Growing up on G.I. Joe, I have no choice! And I still have my action figures back at my parents place lol Go Joe!

now i'm starting to get nervous. i've been pretty stoked about the movie, but i don't want to see an 80's GI Joe movie... I want to see something with a revamped vision that keeps true to the story. I'm still excited about Joseph Gordon Levitt as Cobra Commander, but even a Joker-esque performance can be jacked up by poor direction. we'll see...
