Even More G.I.Joe Casting News

IESB.net has news that both Storm Shadow and Scarlett have been cast in the new G.I.Joe movie, and with more people I've never heard of!

Scarlett will apparently be played by Rachel Nichols, who has never been in anything I've seen, but who was in 17 episodes of Alias, which I have thought about watching some day.

Storm Shadow will be played by Byung-Hun Lee, a hot actor in Asian films I've never seen, and that you've probably never seen either.

Taking the directorial reigns will be Stephen Somers, who has directed movies I have seen, like the Mummy movies and Van Helsing. The IMDB also lists him as the director of "The Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride," which means he should be able to put in a good word for a "Battlin' Joes Stunt Spectacular" show at Universal.

Just to round out what we know, the screenplay is by written by two guys who have the tough-sounding names necessary to credit such a tough-guy movie: Stuart Beattie and Skip Woods. Actually, Stuart worked on Collateral and the first Pirates movie, and some people think Skip is a pseudonym for Quentin Tarantino, so there is some hope there. But on the other hand, Stuart also worked on Joey and the last two Pirates movies, and some people think Skip is a pseudonym for Quentin Tarantino, so we could be doomed.
