For those of you that missed it or were not lucky enough to watch Superbowl XLIII, the new Superbowl advert for the "G.I. Joe" movie made its first ever appearance.

The trailer aired very early in the broadcast (prior to the coin toss) and features Karolina for a very brief second as Courtney Krieger AKA Cover Girl standing behind Dennis Quaid's character. Here is the (only) 1080i High Definition screencap of her 1-second appearance in the trailer.

Thanks, I was gonna ask you to do that anyway.

haha I saw the preview for that last night, and immediately thought of kk. can't wait to watch her in it! seems like it's gonna be pretty big!

 

[Prescott]

I have a feeling that seeig her act is going to be very strange (but in the good way). But the thing is August is far from here so we still have to wait a lot...

 

[happycanadian]

the movie is absolutely going to be a huuuuuge hit. it comes out in the summer, right at the tail end of blockbuster season ... and it has essentially zero competition around it's release date. will be huge.

hopefully KK has at least somewhat of a notable part. i'm not expecting her to be the lead, or she'd have been in the posters that have already been released ... but if she has some lines and is somehow integral to the story, it would be an extraordinary chance for her to make a breakthrough to acting.

 

[Prescott]

Gosh, I hope you're right, man!
You know, I just watched (again) the Devil Wears Prada, and as you might know, Gisele B is starring in it. She has 2 or 3 lines but you can tell from miles that she can't act. I just hope, actually I know that KK will rock it.
Btw, based on this particular picture (her outfit) I assume her role is kind of important because she probably plays a person in higher places. Not to mention that she's in a same scene with Dennis Quaid ... that means something, right?

 

[happycanadian]

yeah, her role is Cover Girl (*lol!*)

which is described as:

Fictional Biography

Prior to joining G.I. Joe, Cover Girl was a highly successful fashion model from Peoria, Illinois who graced the covers of countless magazines, but she found the world of modeling unfulfilling and joined the army to seek out new challenges in life. She felt very driven to master distinctly unfeminine traits in order to prove that she was not just a pretty face.

[edit] Team Relations

Her beauty made her something of a fantasy object among many Joes, most notably Shipwreck and Clutch. Although she manages a playful flirtation with Shipwreck, Cover Girl was repulsed by Clutch's blatantly chauvinistic personality, and she continually rejected his advances, only to be confounded at how good a team they made in the heat of battle.
Cover Girl has yet achieve the prominence of female Joes Scarlett or Lady Jaye, but she became a popular recurring character in both the animated G.I. Joe series and the comic books. When she first appeared in the MASS Device miniseries, she sported long blond hair and blue eyes, and was dressed in regular green military fatigues with yellow accents. During this initial adventure, Cover Girl's personality was pointedly feminine[original research?], although she proved herself a formidable agent when she saved the day (and the lives of many Joes) during a deadly crisis (with the help of Snake-Eyes' pet wolf, Timber).
Cover Girl did not have much of a love life in either the cartoon or the comic book, but the cartoon occasionally implied that she had a crush on Duke. According to the cartoon's writer's guide, she was originally intended to be in a relationship with Thunder. It was revealed in Issue #20 of G.I. Joe: America's Elite that she was dating Shipwreck, much to the jealousy of Clutch. Cover Girl has appeared with Shipwreck in "G.I. Joe Special Missions: Brazil" and in "G.I. Joe: America's Elite" #27.

[edit] Appearance

In her appearances following the five episodes of the first G.I. Joe mini-series, Cover Girl's long, blond hair was suddenly short and brownish-red (resembling Scarlett's in color and style, albeit without a ponytail). Her eye color even changed (she now had brown eyes), and she wore a mostly beige uniform with a brown leather jacket. Her personality had changed as well stressing a more tomboy attitude. (Note: It is unclear if the animated series featured two different characters named Cover Girl, or if the character had simply been re-designed to match the action figure released by Hasbro.)
In the animated series, Cover Girl was voiced by Liz Aubrey.
In the upcoming live action film of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, she will be portrayed as Hawk's aide-de-camp by Victoria's Secret supermodel/actress Karolina Kurkova.




**thank you, wikipedia**


haha.



so there's our girl, KK! i think she'll really rock it out! she's just sooo vibrant and on film she really shines, always.


p.s. Prescott- i adore your avatar!

 

[Prescott]

Thanks for the thorough text, happycanadian!
Believe it or not, but I actually did not know that her character plays someone who used to be a model as well. (I know, it's a shame...) But what a coincidence! ^^

P.s.: Thanks, I just love the whole feeling it sends.

crossing fingers for kk

 

[WerbowyStegner]

that's easily one of my favourite of her traits as well. she is universally regarded as one of the most beautiful women on the planet. is one of the most successful supermodels of the past decade. and yet she carries with her ZERO pretentions. it's like she is without ego. she's such an awesome person, and you can see it radiate from her always - whether she's in a photoshoot, on a runway, or just in a candid like this.

Not to say KK is ugly but if you check out some forums etc a lot of people said shes ugly with a horse face , and a model once said 'greadt body but the face'

 

[Prescott]

Even if you don't like someone's face you don't say that she's ugly (Btw how on earth can you think that!? ) So you should say that from your prospective she's not that attractive.
How would you feel if I told you Julia S was disgusting?

 

[WerbowyStegner]

I never said Karolina was disgusting OR ugly . I said she isn't really universally considered beautiful .. I wouldn't say that about any model I liked ok.. unless it was say Doutzen , universally beautiful is more for like Doutzen or Christy turlington.. I said I'm NOT saying shes ugly! But she isnt a universal beautiful. Because to me thats a CLASSIC beauty like Doutzen or Christy TUrlington. The only model that comes CLOSE to being universally appealing now is Doutzen..

People have opinions.
Maybe I didnt write correctly ! I never said any of my favourite models were 'universal' beauties!
Because I know thats few in the world today. What I'm saying is UNIVERSAL mean ALMOST everybody thinks he/she is pretty.. I just gave some examples with KK , I would give examples of edita , snejana and Julia S but I did NOT write they were UNIVERSAL beauties.

I'm not trying to be 'mean' , I'm just stating you MUST have read my post wrong. I never said 'oh my god KK's so ugly and NO ONE thinks shes beautiful'

 

[Prescott]

Now I see where I misunderstood your post. Sorry for accusing!

 

[WerbowyStegner]

I sound so heated in the post above geez
Sorry presscott But what I'm trying to say is universal beauty is far too over used.. and everyone has their opinions I am not KK's NO.1 admirer but I dont find her UGLY!

I just used a few examples .. .. .. so you see. I could find examples of almost any models with people saying their ugly deffinitely not just KK! its just that for someone to be a universal beauty.. well I guess there are FEW models like that anymore ..

sorry I didnt mean to kill this thread with negativity. I wouldonly say out of ALL my favourite models Edita has a small chance of being a universal beauty.. I guess thats how I think on things..

There are just really few models I find universally considered beautiful .. doesnt mean that just because I dont think KK's a universal beauty , that I find her 'ugly'. no. thats not what I meant.
