Red Sonja to be redone

[trancejeremy]

Granted, I've only read a few of the early Red Sonja comic books. But I thought the movie was pretty true to them, because the early ones were very goofy and cheesy, like the Conan comic book. (Which is also the source of Conan being inarticulate).

Maybe the later versions are less silly than the original. But they didn't exist when the movie was made, AFAIK.

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

So long as the chainmail bikini made a cameo appearance.

I concur. I think a kickass woman with realistic armor would go a long way to attracting viewers of both sexes as opposed to just men. But the bikini would have to appear at least once!

Also, I must say that Cho's tall, muscular Sonja is my ideal Sonja as well.

Wow I didn't expect to see so many replies so soon


Bridgette Neilson is the only one they will officially say is in the movie ( it says she has a cameo appearance)

Some of the other movies that I found to be coming soon...


Dungeon Siege the Movie (Statham from Transporter series as the lead)
Game Sucked (My Opinion) but the movie might not

When Worlds Collide (Remake of the 50's classic)
Despite the sermon sounding orriginal I love this story, and hope that the remak does justice to the books

I'll not watch this not just because it's directed by Uwe Boll, but the fact that he cheated in that stinking boxing challenge of his. Raging Boll my ass.

actually, the Red Sonja film I'd like to see would be about Red Sonya, the original character from REH's story about the siege of Vienna by the Turks.... that'd be better than anything done in the comic...

I think this could be a cool movie. I saw the original back in the day although I don't remember anything about it really (which from everyone elses reviews that may be a good thing). I'll remain optomistic about this one and hope that more good Sword and Sorcery flicks are going to be released.

I liked the first one and I would likely see the remake. Though I can't picture anyone in Hollywood that would be good for the role. Loken would be the closest, but I am not sold on her.

What bugs me is that this is getting made and possibly released before another Conan movie comes out.

I did not realize that there is a mandate to release Conan film before Red Sonja.

 

[David Howery]

whatever happened to that animated film of "Red Nails" that was coming out? Was it ever released?

 

[Steel_Wind]

It always amazes me how something like Red Sonja could be green lit, yet something with true cinematic franchise possibilities like "Ill met in Lankhmar" is lost in the dust history of Swords and Sorcery literature.

Ah well. I'll go see it all the same. It cannot be worse than that steaming pile of crap with Brigitte Neilson and Schwarzenegger in the cameo.
