Stephen Sommers (The Mummy) tells EW that he did not insist that Sienna Miller’s breasts be enhanced for his forthcoming action movie G.I. Joe. A widely circulated news story quotes the British actress (pictured, in G.I. Joe) as saying that, in the film, she wears, “a tight black leather outfit. And much bigger boobs…. They gave me these things that looked like chicken fillets. The director said, ‘I’m gonna be honest, I like girls with big boobs,’ and I don’t have them so we made them bigger…. At least he’s honest. But I was mildly offended.” Sommers says he was aware of the story –- we suppose you could say he kept abreast of the situation -– but claims it is untrue. “Everybody here laughed because they know I would NEVER say that to an actress,” says the filmmaker. “I guess the costume department gave her a tight fitting bra, but no one gave her rubber breasts or whatever. It is 100 percent Sienna Miller.”
Sommers adds that G.I. Joe, which also stars Dennis Quaid and features a cameo from his Mummy star Brendan Fraser, was partly inspired by the Sean Connery-era James Bond movies. “I always loved the old Bonds,” he says. “It’s funny now how Bond wants to be Bourne. I loved Quantum of Solace, but it was like, man, this is a completely different movie to the Bonds I grew up with. In a very contemporary way, G.I. Joe is inspired by the memory of the kind of movies I saw when I was younger. I remember being in the theater for Thunderball and the big underwater battle at the end of that movie just blew my socks off. In G.I. Joe, there’s an underwater battle under the polar icecap that’s Thunderball times 10!”

Whose marriage are you going to wreck next, Sienna? SKANK!!!
So anyone here if this movie is actually going to be good ? Just some of the casting has me scratching my head.
can’t wait till that
GI Joe was awful when it was a cartoon, a cheap unrealistic ploy to sell toys. This movie will be no better regardless of who is in it, who directed, or what the story is. I can not stand the sell toys mentality that these merchandiser based genre snorefests have created. There is nothing that this or a new transformers movie can do to change my mind. Try content.
Look im sorry that your parents sheltered you from a childhood. or the fact that you are 13 years old in your parents basement and are upset that the toy’s of your childhood suck! don’t be jealous just embrace the fact that we are giving you a piece of great amercian 1980’s history. go back to playing world of warcraft and sponging off your parents.
mage?!
i’m sorry you didn’t have a childhood.
Sommers is a hack. What moron gave him money to make GI JOI? Vive la Quebec!!!!!
my question is why would you take inspiration from Bond instead of the actual cartoon and stories from the toy line. anyway, based on casting and stills i’ve seen thus far this looks about as bad as the new street fighter movie.
This from the guy who ‘loved’ the Universal Monsters so much as a kid he grew up and made the downright offensive Van Helsing. We’ve been warned.
I can’t wait for this movie. it could be terrible, but my favorite cartoon of all time is being made into a movie, so i gots to be there
Porkchop Sandwiches!
Say it with me…”and knowing is half the battle!”
I will have to make sure to bring my grape soda and chocolate donuts! Or maybe a bottle of Yo-Jo cola.
I’m sorry, but I’m afraid this is going to be absolutely lame. So disappointing.
Thats so spiteful and vain to diss the director.So uncool.
It sounds like Sienna had to spread more derogatory rumours about the Director like she did with Ridley Scott and Crowe because they did not like her.
Yeah she is spiteful and nasty.
