Sienna Miller & G.I. Joe cast in Sydney
July 21st 2009 05:48
Yesterday (Monday 21 July, 2009) I attended the Sydney Press Conference for the new live-action G.I. Joe film "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra".
Sienna Miller, and cast-mates Channing Tatum, Marlon Wayons, and Rachel Nichols attended the event, posing for photos an answering questions from the Sydney press.
Director Stephen Sommers, and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura also joined the cast and fielded the more technical questions.
I am currently transcribing the audio I recorded at the press conference. I will publish excerpts of the conference in coming days.

Channing is hot, its true, and recently married to his Step Up co-star Jenna Dewan . . . they joked he was on his honeymoon without her
i will write up the whole thing, there were a few funny moments, they were all really relaxed, Sommers was really informative, and Wayans was totally adorable . . . apparently hes the youngest of ten siblings, hes got a great sense of humour
i wish you had of been there, we could have sat together!

I went to one of these media days once, and some idiot sitting behind me asked the director "I've read rumours on the internet that you have been fired. Is that true?"
The director, looking a little confused, replied that most 'rumours' on the net tend to be false... and also noted that it would be unusual for a director whom had been fired to appear at the media launch hahaha
Like what kind of dick would ask a question like that - Jesus it was funny!

My question to director Stepen Sommers was not "I've read rumours on the internet that you have been fired. Is that true?"
My question was: "What was your reaction to the rumour that you were fired during post production? And, can you confirm whether you have final cut of the film."
Morgan, if you check your audio, you will find this to be 100% correct.
The reason for my asking the question was that the rumour of a disatorous test screening and Sommers being fired had been heavily reported in various online publications, and any feature on G.I. Joe would have to take that into account.
It was my intention to hear Sommers' take on the whole thing, since I had only read statements by producer Dino di Bonaventura at Latino Review and Dark Horizons.
Further more, I let it be known to the people who invited me to the press conference (and who have a close relationship with Paramount Pictures) that I was going to ask the question and they were fine with it.
I do not appreciate baseless accusations aimed towards me and my website, nor do I make light of being labelled a dick and fool.
Defamation is something I take seriously, and if it persists I will inform Orble admin and consider legal action.

i really dont think anything ive said here could be considered defamation, im not sure if you are directing your comment at me or Two Gay Frogs
when I transcribe the audio I assure you I will do my best to keep it as accurate as possible . . . i have no doubt what you quoted above is 100% correct, it sounds right from memory

I'm glad you know a guy, who knows a girl, who has a friend who is friends with the neighbour of the dude on facebook whose sisters ex-best friend works in the mail room of Paramount; that's just tops!

It was not aimed at you, but the poster Two Gay Frogs.

Having clearly mentioned my website - which you conveniently changed to Catholic Movie Reviews, which I hope is not a reference to my religious beliefs - I was inclined to respond to your remarks.
As for the whole Paramount-mail room-thing, let me assure you that this is far from the case. A few of the guys who post movie reviews around here know who I am referring to.
Q: If you did not attend yesterday's event, where did you witness this "incident". I am curious since it was mentioned a few times yesterday that the Sydney press conference was the first in a worldwide tour?

i see Rachel has had bit parts in the new Star Trek film and Charlie Wilsons War . . . she might be the next big thing, we could be seeing a lot more of her
hi Janet,
i was trying my best with what meager tools are available to me, i only have a mini pocket-sized digital cameras, all the mainstream media photographers had massive telephoto lenses and flashes etc . . . im just glad it was a lovely sunny day
hi Ambyr Amoureuse,
i think Sienna is a wonderful talent, i was very impressed with her role in factory girl . . . besides, the film has not been released yet so i doubt you or anyone has paid any money to view it yet . . . in future would you mind keeping the language to a minimum, thanks
