Um, what?

This article, regarding the casting of Sienna Miller in the G.I. Joe film, describes her role as, "a raven-haired baroness and sexy femme fatale skilled in espionage."

That would, of course, make her Baroness.

But the article calls her the film's female lead.

Um?

So they're either seriously re-writing Scarlett's backstory, or the article got something wrong.

Or they're having Baroness make a serious face turn.

Granted, I haven't followed the Devil's Due revival of the line (tried one issue, found that it sucked even more than most comics nowadays, and didn't bother after that). Maybe there's a retcon I'm missing.

Yeah, it was the Variety one. Fixed.

I have complete faith that the Joe movie will blow (and the commercials for Transformers, along with Bay's track record, were more than enough to keep me away from that one).

Transformers was actually really good. It had a decent amount of winking humor to the old cartoon, but not too much. And they didn't gut the history of the characters. Yes, some things changed, but none of it was bad, per se. It was just different. And I wound up liking Optimus' new look. My only real complaint is that the hacker subplot didn't really get enough development.
