Rachel Nichols
Though I don't know all the characters Paramount is hoping to cast for G.I. Joe, but I have to admire their angle. First they picked up Sienna Miller, who comes packaged with an entire arsenal of hotness, and now they have outdone themselves by picking up Rachel Nichols to play Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara.
(Confirmed and updated!)
Rachel Nichols for G.I. Joe
The good people at LatinoReview have scooped a couple new casting updates for G.I. Joe.
First up is Byung-Heon Lee. The Korean Mega Star has been cast to play Storm Shadow, better known as Tommy S. Arashikage.
That's all good and well, but let's get on to Rachel Nichols (looking amazing to the right). Turns out this chick is huge like Uma, 5'10", and will make a perfect fit for G.I. Joe as Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara.
Here is a brief summary of what Scarlett's all about:
She was the first female action figure in the G.I. Joe toy line and is also the only member of the original team to see much action in both cartoon and comic incarnations. The official line on Scarlett is that her full name is Shana M. O'Hara. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia.
Though the summary doesn't mention it, I guess we should assume the character is smoking hot.
CONFIRMED!
The good people at IESB have confirmed the two casting arrangements mentioned above.
On Byung-Hun Lee -
Asian movie star, Byung-Hun Lee, has been cast as Storm Shadow in Paramount Pictures’ GI JOE. He will be playing a character with a dark and complex history who is one of the most popular and enigmatic characters of the GI JOE universe.
