Red Sonja

Rose McGowan as Red Sonja? Seriously? I'm sure a Rodriguez produced Red Sonja movie would kick ass, but I really dislike that casting.

Yeah I don't see her in that roll at all...

Another @#$%^&*( remake. You'd think the mass movie going people would be sick of the remakes. And I can't see a remake out doing the original, when you had Arnold Schwartzenegger in it, as well as Ernies Reyes Jr (Keno from TMNT 2)

Don't like it, don't watch. The original will always be the original. Plus, remakes have been extremely profitable, and this will probably be as well, considering about 90% of the people seeing this movie, probably won;t have even heard of the original, much less scene it.

McGowan doesn't seem like she fits the physical type to play Red Sonja. :ohwell:

Okay, I am a big fan of the original movie but I have to say (And admit) that in all honesty, it pretty much sucked. I'm all for them doing a new movie, especially if it feels more like the comic.

Rose is a huge mistake. She's good lookin' and all, but not the right body type and I just can't see her swingin' a sword and doin' the fantasy barbarian thing.

I agree with GK too, the first movie is great, but you have to watch it tongue and cheek. It's what I like to call goofy-great.

But... I'll probably watch it on DVD no matter what because I've got too much time on my hands and I'm a sucker for any comic book movie, if only so I can bash it after.

hm, am I the only one who liked the orginal Red Sonja movie? :ohwell:

I liked it, I just admit that it's not exactly a masterpiece of cinema. It's a fun movie, not a great one.

No, I loved it, and find it condescending that they want to make a remake. Why doesn't the director get creative and create someone completely new. There are more than enough ideas of women in medievel times portraying the heroin in the stories. Xena was one. Time to make up a new one instead of ripping off stuff that had already been done.

Wonder if they are gonna release a re-make of Willow next:ohwell:

"Ripping off?" So when they made Batman in 1989 I guess that was a rip off of the 60s movie then right? You know since That was also based on a comic book.

Don't even bother, people will never listen.

Rose McGowan, hm? I guess that's the best they could do, considering women like Bridgette Nielson are hard to find nowadays.

I'd like to see that. It's been too long since Hollywood's put a bunch of midgets together in one place.

Rose McGowan is too pale and skinny to pull off Red Sonja.

What I'm wondering is when they are going to do a Live Action comics movie on Lady Death!

I doubt they will ever make a Lady Death LA movie. :ohwell:

She played a chick with a machine gun leg she can handle a barbarian.

Rose just comes off as too prissy to me. :-?

Thanks to comic-con, we have a couple posters for the film as well as some more info...

I take back what I said. I really like how Rose looks as Red Sonja (so far).

First image of the new Red Sonja:

They never gave up, did they?

looks tight

Surprised they didn't make her black.

White Redhead not replaced by a Black!? Surprise.

Also, whatever this thing supposed to be (a screenshot, poster) looks like there is too much Photoshop.

Well the lead actress just shot this movie in the foot

It's D.O.A., then. They'll never learn.

Trailer.



Looks... eh... questionable. And what is that thing at 00:13? Some kind of garbage truck?

I think it looks good. Then again I thought the Conan movie from 10 years ago looked good as well and we'll.. :lol:

Maybe I should watch the Arnold Conan movies, never have.

I mean during her origin her village was burned down and she was gangraped. Her story is pretty much a female empowerment rape survivor story. Of course they'd run with that.

Those and the Bridgitte Nielsen Red Sonja flick are actually really good and make for a fun trilogy of sorts.

Arnold plays Conan in the Red Sonja flick, but - eh it's complicated. He's Conan, just leave it at that.

I could watch the Arnold Conan the Barbarian movie over and over again. And when I was a kid, I pretty much did. It's very close to what could be considered a "perfect" movie, IMO. A rare one, too where I watch it again after 10, 15 years and not only does it hold up well, it seems even better to me now as I appreciate it even more.

I've actually never seen the original Red Sonja. Though now I'm reading that Arnold actually WAS playing Conan in the movie, according to the producers. Story-wise he was just using an alias, as he was known to do in the books. Legal-wise, they wanted to refer to him by name but didn't have the rights to use Conan in the movie because they only had the rights to use him in 3 movies (this would have been the third) but he had to be the lead, which he wasn't in Red Sonja. But I guess he basically IS playing Conan in it, with the same swordfighting style and mannerisms and everything.

And as I've complained about elsewhere here, if Arnold had the Stallone business model mentality we'd have gotten a proper King Conan movie long, long ago. Instead, Arnold has just been sitting idly around for decades, waiting for someone to do everything for him and make it for him. And even if it happens now, he is barely in any shape to even do it in some kind of Eastwood-in-Unforgiven fashion.

I had always thought that it was just a fan theory similar to how many claimed the The Rock was a secret 007 movie and that Sean Connery’s character Mason was actually James Bond who had been burned by MI6. It would be awesome if true.

Gail Simone revealed she was the consulting producer on this, and it features characters she created

ah, I heard Gail's retelling left out the rape part of her origin, so there's that.

No it's legit. I didn't want to type it all out in my response to SDP, but Arnold played Conan in that movie but was renamed due to rights and contract issues. So basically knowing that, then head canon tells you that it was Conan operating under a psuedonym.

And then you can sort of justify it through deeper headcanon which tells you that Red Sonja takes place after Conan the Destroyer. And so, Conan was already a king during this time, grew tired of it and went out on an adventure under a pseudonym so as not to be recognized as a king.

Still think this new Red Sonja might be DOA. Does anyone really think this is going to do better numbers than recent stuff like Ballerina and Cleaner and such? It just seems like a bad time for girl boss stuff.

Of course it's DOA. It's a holdover from the peak of the woke $#!( development era. Most of the woke $#!( we are seeing are the tail of the dropoff area of the social curve of this whole thing.

Let it rot. Put the nail in the coffin of woke $#!(.

Any other Sword&Sorcery movies I should check out, even if they're not as good as the Arnold Conan ones? I'm in the mood of checking things out.
Like i see beast master has a bunch of sequels, any others? Even if they're mediocre, as long as they're not god awful, I can deal with 80s cheese and effects.

You might check out "Quest for the Mighty Sword." It looks corny as sh** but I remember liking it quite a bit as a kid. It might not hold up well now, I'm not sure.



I've never seen Krull, but that's another one. Willow, if you've never seen it. Legend with a young Tom Cruise, of course. Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger I liked, but that's back from the 70s.

Krull is really good. The original Clash of the Titans too.
Dragonslayer has one of the coolest Dragons put to film, even to this day.

You can't go wrong with Lou Ferrigno's Hercules movies.

The Sword and the Sorcerer is a strange movie. It seemed so much better as a kid, and the sword gimmick felt like it carried the whole movie. But then you watch it as an adult and you realize the sword itself has like 35 seconds of useful screen time.
