Red Sonja, coming in 2009. Robert Rodriguez to direct? Hell yes! Rose McGowan to star? Um...
I love Rose McGowan to death, but I'm not yet sold that she's Red Sonja material. I guess Rodriguez has time to convince me.
EDIT: Oh hell no. Rodriguez isn't directing, he's producing. Director is actually Douglas Aarniokoski, "best known" for his work on Highlander: Endgame. So much for that brief bout of enthusiasm. Sorry folks - false awesomeness alarm - nothing to see here.
I totally agree! Rose is not right for the role. It needs to be someone like Brigitte Neilson. Someone who is big and amazon like. It won't work with a 5'3 110 or so pound women. It doesn't look realistic enough. I heard it was actually pushed back to 2010 and that it'll go straight to dvd rather than hitting the theathers.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought with names like Rodriguez and McGowan attached it would need to go straight to DVD.
ReplyDeleteActually, a couple of hours on, I'm starting to warm to Ms McGowan as Red Sonja. Largely based on the idea that I think she can do the attitude, and Rodriguez is brilliant enough with this kind of pulp material to fudge the rest.
I never like Rodriguez' early stuff but ever since he's gone big-budget he's won me over.
