Dec 19 2007'G.I. Joe' Adds Two More Poor Souls to Its Cast

Remember when casting a G.I. Joe movie was a conversation you had while staging elaborate plastic battles in your living room? For better or worse (probably worse), that childish dream is now a reality, and two new names have been added to the cast of the actual G.I. Joe movie being made for unknown reasons.

Korean star Lee Byung-hun will play the role of Storm Shadow, while Rachel Nichols (you know, from The Amityville Horror remake and her upcoming role as Charlie's Angel #3 in Charlie Wilson's War) is taking on Scarlett. If you've forgotten since childhood, or the last action figure convention you attended, Storm Shadow is the cool ninja guy (the one in white, not the other cool ninja guy), and Scarlett is the one you always said you wanted to "do" (the one with red hair, not the other ones you said you'd do).

I suppose these choices seem reasonable enough, but with The Mummy guy directing, does it really matter?
