Red Sonja to be redone

[Angel Tarragon]

Egad. The original was bad enough. I'd only see a remake if some paid me to, and then only for a decent amount of $.

You want a tease (1-minute trailer), a quickie (5 minutes), or go all the way (the whole film's time length)?

My good man, must everything be about sex to you?

A quickie would be just fine. I wouldn't have to throw up afterwards.

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

There is no mandate. I would just rather see the next Conan movie before I see a crappy remake of an ok Red Sonja movie. Also I would think Conan would be easier to greenlight, more people know Conan than they do Red Sonja.

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.

Interesting - she then relies, as I suppose all actors do, on her director. My wife's a film-maker (J.G.), and we both agreed she looked ungainly and almost painfully awkward in the fight scenes in Bloodrayne.

Physically, she looks the part. I would disagree that she looked chunky in Bloodrayne (as someone else commented), although she's certainly not skinny . . .

Meh.

That would assume the same film production studio is going to do both of them. Better to let one studio do Conan and another do Red Sonja (without having to wait for the other studio finish Conan).

Honestly, where in my statement above did I specifically mention the three-letter "S" word?

I never said anything about it having to come from the same studio. I just think that Conan would be commercially succesfull, therefore a studio would be more inclined to get behind it.

Well this generated a lot more of a discussion than I was expecting, Personally I loved the orrignal (perhaps not for its quality), and wouldn't need to be paid to see a remake (so long as it is done well).

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 second the idea of a Lankhmar movie, and hope for a Shannara movie, and perhaps a Pern movie.

Though the adaption of comics to movies is far more prevelent these days among the good fillm studios.

I wouldn't mind seeing Loken in the part of Sonja as long as the studio took more time and effort into providing her with a good surrounding cast and story.
