G.I. JOE

Actress Sienna Miller was interviewed by The Telegraph, talking about why she was willing to get into the black leather. "I'm aware of what a film of this magnitude will bring. An interviewer said this thing to me that was a huge part of my decision. He said, 'As far as I'm concerned you can act, but the people that read Heat will never see the films you're making, and they are the non-believers," Miller said. "You have to make something commercial in order to be seen as more than a fashionista or tabloid fodder."

SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN

Speaking of animation, CBR has an interview with voice actor Josh Debar, who plays Flash Thompson on the new series. "I think Flash has a certain brashness, but he also has a likability, so he's not a complete doof that you hate," Debar said. "He's a dichotomy -- he's got a few different sides, and he surprises people. I was both a theatre guy and a football guy in high school, and people tried to stick me into that one-note category, depending on how they knew me -- and I didn't like being stereotyped. So when the show gives me the opportunity to represent his other sides, like this week when you see Flash's compassion rather than just all that testosterone, I really enjoy showcasing that part of his character because I can relate to his situation."
