Red Sonja to be redone

[Taelorn76]

Conan on the other hand has lost any hope of a remake (at least until they can find an actor worthy of the part).

I thought Triple H of WWE had the nod for a while. Hell I thought they had some pre-production going on it.

I check in here once in a while to see if there have been any developments -

Is there a better place?

So Conan will be financed by his father-in-law and WWE Films company?

If they are going to mine REH's work again, I'd rather they did Solomon Kane. And hopefully, make it better than, say, Van Helsing (no offense meant to those who have enjoyed that movie).

I posted on this a while back. For a moment after Lord of the Rings I though its only effect would be to put into production lots of kiddie fantasy films. But it seems like it has had an effect on S&S too, and plenty of studios are trying to grab one. <b>Red Sonja</b> has been picked up by Millenium films, <b>Bran Mac Morn</b> by Working Title, Warners are finally doing another <b>Conan</b>, and Universal has <b>Elric</b> in preproduction. If these do come to fruition we're in for a great time.

I still hope someone will be smart enough to put together a Fafhrd & Grey Mouser movie. I mean, c´mon! It's a buddy flick, it's *supposed* to be funny (at times) and special effects are limited to a minimum!

Dark Horse have recently bought the <b>Fafhrd & Grey Mouser</b> film rights. They're working on a treatment and concept art with a view on pitching it to studios.

The owners of the <b>Kull</b> and <b>Solomon Kane</b> rights have worked up scripts and have been pitching them about. They managed to get the Bran script sold, but these two haven't been picked up.

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

Thanks, nikolai!

"Kiddie fantasy"???

I think we've already have a fair share of "family-friendly" fantasy films since 2000. It's only natural the FX would expand to more adult-oriented films (not necessarily NC-17, nor do I see such budget would be spent on XXX films).

But Red Sonja has to be at least rated R.

"Kiddie fantasy"???

I mean stuff like Narnia, Eragon, His Dark Materials, Peter Pan and so on where the heroes are literally kids. That's obviously very different in tone even to Lord of the Rings, let alone blood-drenched Howardian S&S.
