I wouldn't mind Loken in the role, provided she get back in the lean shape she had in Terminator 3. I thought she looked too chunky in Bloodrayne. :\

Not taking away from Frank Cho (I enjoyed his art in Shanna the She Devil ), but his muscle bound warrior Sonja isn't what I envisioned the She-Devil to be. I'd rather she be a lean and mean fighting machine, much like how Steve Lightle drew her here:

Let's not have a repeat of Lucy Lawless now shall we?

You say it like it's a bad thing...

Although Lawless had no breasts (it was all armor).

I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Eva Mendez pumping up for the role.

Point the first: I liked Lucy Lawless.

Point the second: While I don't want to see a bodybuilder in the roll, a warrior like Red Sonja has to be at least decently muscled. Lean is fine to a point, but it needs to be "lean and muscular," not "anorexic" like most of the current crop of actresses in Hollywood.

I enjoyed the swordfighting in the original

So did I.

It's one of the few movies that depicts a swordfight in which the combatants actually get fatigued by fighting.

I actually like a lot of the visuals in the original movie. But I do hope whoever they get for the lead part can handle a sword like she means it. Brigitte Nielsen always looked like she was scared to swing her blade.

Did you see her as Brunnhild in Ring of the Nibelungs (which aired on the Sci-Fi Channel, and came out on DVD, as Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King)? She handled a sword very well and seemed suited to the role. I didn't see anything of Bloodrayne but the posters and trailers.

 

[TwistedBishop]

This would be my perfect look for Sonja. I think it strikes the right balance.

 

[Berandor]

Gina Torres could fit the role, though I imagine "Red" Sonja is named for her hair, not the blood she lets?

On that note, what outfit would you guys wanna see? A more realistic costume? Or the classic chainmail bikini from the comics?

Honestly, I'd much prefer a more realistic costume...

So long as the chainmail bikini made a cameo appearance.
