Rachel cast as Tamar in “Conan”
Rachel Nichols has been cast as Tamara in director Marcus Nispel’s Conan according to Latino Review. She will be joining Jason Momoa (Conan), Mickey Rouke (Corin/Conan’s father), and possibly Stephen Lang, as he’s been offered the role of Khalar Singh (the villain). She appears to have beaten out Cloverfield’s Jessica Lucas and The L Word’s Sarah Shahi for the role.
With shooting scheduled to begin later this month, expect a few more casting announcements in the very near future. For more on Rachel Nichols character, hit the jump:
According to the leaked casting breakdown:
Tamara is 18 to 24 years old, Caucasian or Middle Eastern, open to all ethnicities; beautiful, studious, correct, a novitiate of a Greek influenced monastery. A master of martial arts, she has been trained to be the Queen’s servant, bodyguard and best friend. She and many other female bodyguards to the queen have been in hiding most of their lives because of the curse of Acheron, which would take the queen’s life to bring almost immortal power to its king. When Khalar Singh, a powerful warlord with ambitions to become the king of Acheron, storms the monastery and captures all of the novitiates, she is separated from Ilira, the one she must protect. With all of her strength and will, Tamara is determined to find and rescue her. She finds herself in league with Conan because of a mutual need to find Khalar Singh. She is not in the least intimidated by Conan’s size or grim demeanor and their alliance eventually blossoms into something that surprises them both… LEAD
G.I. Joe Sequel Moves Forward
It seems that Paramount wants more of an elite commando unit on the big screen
. Collider is reporting that a writer has been hired for a sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
We reported back in August that this sequel was being put into development at Paramount, but there has been nothing said on the project until now. While the site didn’t find out who the writer was, it seems a script was ordered and the studio is going ahead with their sequel plans. It also wasn’t immediately clear if Stephen Sommers would return to direct the sequel or not.
The site also noted that the main cast members, including Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Marlon Wayans, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, have already signed on for sequels.

UPDATE: 1/7/10 2 PM ETCollider has updated their own story with the news that the writer that was hired was actually the writing team of Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote the 2009 hit film Zombieland. The duo also recently signed on to write the Deadpool spin-off film as well.
Rachel Nichols has joined the cast of mystery The Loop.
Based on the novel by Joe Coomer, Nichols will play a librarian who joins a highway patrolman to uncover the mysteries behind the cryptic sayings spoken by an ancient parrot.
“G.I. Joe” Dominates The Box Office with $56.2 million domestically & $100.3 million worldwide!
Love it or hate it, G.I. Joe is one film that’s certainly made it’s mark on opening weekend. Directed by Stephen Sommers and starring Channing Tatum, Dennis Quaid, Marlon Wayans, Christopher Eccleston, Sienna Miller, Rachel Nichols and Joseph Gordon-Levitt – G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra has taken it’s fair share of knocks from fanboys and critics alike during production – only to flip them all a metaphorical “V sign” this past weekend by scoring one of the best August openings of all time.
Naturally, the critics who were prevented from seeing the film in advance have now all written their scathing reviews, with G.I. Joe’s “tomatometer” rating dropping from a strong 91% last week to 39% this morning.
However, in spite of the negative critical reviews the Summer’s last blockbuster has stormed the box office this weekend – taking an estimated $56.2 million domestically and $100.3 million worldwide!
Congrats to everyone involved in “G.I. Joe”!!

Article on Rachel’s new movie called “Meskada”
In the world of film and television, Greene County has been a hotbed of activity in the last few months.
Most recently, film crews have been swarming Main Street in Catskill, shooting the independent crime drama “Meskada,” starring Nick Stahl (Bully, Terminator 3, HBO’s Carnivale) and Rachel Nichols (Star Trek, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, ABC’s Alias).
While “Meskada” is still actively shooting around the area until early July, additional film crews will be their contemporaries in the Cairo and Durham areas.
