Country Music Television goes Hollywood and gives some nice publicity to the upcoming G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA motion picture. Focused on heavily on the CMT Insider feature for July 22nd, there’s some footage shown (though none of it new) and nice, brief interviews with Sienna Miller, Dennis Quaid, and Channing Tatum. Check it out here, or embedded below.
Many a fan has wondered exactly what the hell went wrong with Hasbro’s face-scanning equipment when The Baroness figure was first revealed, since it looked absolutely nothing like the normally beautiful Sienna Miller. Most other face sculpts all look okay, but hers? Not so much.
Turns out, the actress has noticed. Speaking with the New York Daily News, she had this to say:
“My doll is cross-eyed and has the biggest chin you have ever seen…” “…She looks sort of possessed.”

Entertainment Tonight spent some time with cast members Marlon Wayans, Channing Tatum, Rachel Nichols, and Sienna Miller, and captured the event on video. About five minutes along, it has some neat interactions between the cast members and little tidbits of information scattered throughout. They talk about their favorite weapons, crack jokes, and add a little insight as well. You can click here to see it, or just check out the embedded video below.
For the past week we’ve been getting several reports of the sizzles and footage shown at ShoWest, and now, as the show wraps up, a couple of G.I. Joe’s stars received honors during the event. Sienna Miller, starring as The Baroness, received the award for Supporting Actress of the Year, and had this to say:
“It was a strange experience,” she says of the commercial film, which includes myriad computer-generated effects she hasn’t yet seen. “I never had to duck in front of a green screen, pretending to dodge something that wasn’t there. But it is nice to get an award before the movie’s even out. I wonder if they’d do that with the Oscars. It takes the pressure off.”
Meanwhile, Dennis Quaid received his own award for Male Star of the Year, and will be appearing as General Hawk in the upcoming film.
Good to see G.I. Joe and its cast getting some mainstream publicity! Click here to check out the article from USA Today about ShoWest and the awards.
