Sienna Miller To Ruin GI Joe

By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 20, 2007 5:16 am EST

I've said from the beginning that a live-action GI Joe movie has the potential to be a great action flick, or a cheesy unintentionally funny disaster. With Mummy director Stephen Sommers attached, I've been leaning towards the latter, while secretly wishing for the former. And the script rumors that have leaked lead to Hasbro issuing a public statement to fans, hoping to assure them that "we know what we're doing." But today Paramount has announced the first casting in the August 7th 2009 tentpole, and it doesn't look good.

Sienna Miller...

You might recognize her from the tabloids and gossip sites. Miller will play the female lead which is being described as "a raven-haired baroness and sexy femme fatale skilled in espionage." Ugh...
