Red Sonja to be redone

[Mark CMG]

Well, what sorts of things have been produced on both sides of the kiddie/non-kiddie fantasy coin since a the first of the live-action LotR feature film was first on the realistic horizon? Using the "power search" feature on IMDb and the parameters of "Fantasy" for the genre with the years "2000-2009" I received this result. I could only filter out a few things, given their interface, like tv episodes. I couldn't remove video games or other things that I wouldn't think are pertinent to this discussion, but perhaps they are of some interest.

Looking at that IMDB list, I'm more than a little frustrated. Honestly, can't we exclude superheroes and anything involving scifi from fantasy? It makes it even harder to define the genre if people are willing to lump other things under it.

Also, I agree with Nikolai. While I've enjoyed all the kiddie fantasy that's come out in the wake of Harry Potter, it's time to make room for the fantasy stuff for adults (no I don't mean that kind ) that can follow The Lord of the Rings. If this Red Sonja remake pulls through, it could be the harbinger of things to come. LIke I don't know, A Song and Ice and Fire miniseries? A new Conan movie finally? Elric finally put on screen? The possiblities are endless.

Of course, that doesn't mean fantasy for kids should be left on the wayside, as I feel there's a lot more enjoyment that can still be gained here. I loved the first Narnia film, and am anxiously awaiting Prince Caspian when it comes out. The Harry Potter movies have been steadily getting better for me since the third one, and I'm looking forward to Order of the Phoenix. I'm not sold on Eragon though, as I felt the trailer was a bit lackluster, but I'm looking forward to His Dark Materials, despite my issues with Phillip Pullman.

I'm up for a remake. ANY movie is better than the original..and ANY movie is better than no move (unless the SciFi channel does it and it's just another movie to help cure my insomnia).

I don't they hit botom with the original film starring Brigitte Nielsen.
