Channing Tatum and Gina Carano in Steven Soderbergh's Haywire

"I've gotten a lot more from having great genes than I've lost," Tatum says. But, "No one calls me for stockbrokers." (No one except Soderbergh, who cast Tatum as just that in the upcoming thriller Bitter Pill.) "I know what people want to see me in, but you don't always want to do that — you wanna grow."

That's a yearning that Carano can relate to. While she's not quite fully installed in a new career ("I'm not like a Hollywood actress — I'm thicker, for one thing"), her dabbling in movie stardom has led to blowback from her former community. "The fighting world, they feel like they own you. They don't want to share," she says. "It's almost like having an ex-boyfriend you're still friends with. You're like, 'We can still hang out' — which never works."

"Steven [Soderbergh] asked me, 'Why is Angelina Jolie the only female action star in the world?'"

Steven & Ryan, how can you possibly dismiss Sigourney Weaver (Alien franchise), Kate Beckinsale (Underworld franchise - ongoing, new picture opening *this month*) and Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil franchise - again, ONGOING, with her fifth picture opening this year)

as if they never existed?!

As the very first sentence of this article was so fallacious, I stopped reading. Especially since the writer made no effort to correct that misinformation.
