Image/Millennium Films announced the return of Red Sonja
to the big screen.
The film will star Rose McGowan (Charmed) as the mythical
flame-haired comic-book vixen with a sword, Red Sonja.
The film is presented by Robert Rodriguez and will be directed by Douglas Aarniokoski.
Red Sonja is based on a heroine created by Robert E. Howard and adapted for Marvel Comics by Roy Thomas. In her return we find Red Sonja, a young girl risen from the ashes of tragedy to become the most feared woman warrior of all time. The mythical red-head blindly seeks vengeance on those who destroyed her family. In her path of destruction she discovers a larger purpose for her unearthly powers: to save all Hyrkania from the villainous Kulan Gath. “This is an amazing property and film for our company,” says Nu Image/Millennium’s Avi Lerner. ”Working with the talented Robert Rodriguez, having Rose McGowan as Red Sonja and Douglas Aarniokoski directing, is a fantastic combination. We could not be happier.”“It is our intent to take this opportunity to build on the worlds of branded entertainment with Red Sonja as well as Conan, Hercules and The Three Musketeerstitles. There is history with these mythical heroes, and success,” says Millennium’s Boaz Davidson. “We were pleased when Joe Gatta brought us this project.”
Production is set to begin in October of this year.
