Sienna Miller will star in the new 'G.I. Joe' movie.
The British actress has signed up to play a "sexy raven-haired femme fatale baroness skilled in espionage" in the movie based on the original comic book series from the 40s about a military action hero.
The film focuses on a Brussels-based task force of operatives known as G.I.J.O.E. - the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity - who battle the evil Cobra organisation, headed by a Scottish arms dealer.
Sienna, 25, is the first star to put her name to Paramount Pictures' big-budget project and casting is still ongoing for the other lead roles.
Stephen Sommers, who directed 'The Mummy', will helm the film which is set to start shooting in mid-February next year.
The movie is scheduled for release in August 2009.
The name G.I. Joe was created by David Breger in 1942 when he was asked to produce a comic strip for US military magazines during World War II.
The first series of G.I. Joe figures were produced by Hasbro toy company in 1964.

The Baroness is supposed to be a woman, not some skinny girl.
There is a live action gi joe movie called WAR MACHINE. It’s an independent film but it’s awsome. See the trailer at:
you tube and look search for WAR MACHINE TEMP TRAILER
THis is no Joke. It’s like a special missions adventure. Their Baroness looks like the real deal. So does their version of Duke, Snake Eyes, Scarlet, Cobra Commander and everyone else. And in this version the gi joe team is American!
