Rose McGowan Is Red Sonja
Posted at 11:13 AM Jun 27, 2008
I know that the old Red Sonja movie with Brigitte Nielsen is a cult classic, but let's face it—no one set the bar very high on that flick in any level, including sexiness. So now that there's an announcement that Robert Rodriguez of Grindhouse and Sin City will produce a new Sonja flick starring his favorite fuck-doll Rose McGowan (according to USA Today) is cool, but they honestly aren't going to have to try very hard to trump the original. I know it's very hard for Rodriguez to make a film without McGowan (having her on set makes their constant sex breaks far more convenient), but McGowan doesn't much scream "badass" to me, nor was I much impressed with her in Grindhouse. I suppose if she wears a chain mail bikini and beheads a few dudes, she'll have Nielsen beat, at least. (Via MovieWeb)

I've actually got high-hopes for this one.
I know Rodriguez had been hoping to get a chance to helm the new 'Conan' movie that's been in development hell for the last decade, and that he had been hoping not only to make a film that was close to the original vision of the character in Robert Howard's pulps but that he also wanted to film the entire picture in the Texas hill country that inspired so much of Howard's world of Hyboria.
Throw in the fact that the early rumors were suggesting Megan Fox as Red Sonja, and I'm relieved that someone like Rose got the part instead, even it it was because she's shagging the director. Say what you will about Rose, but she can play a tough-as-nails, ass-kicking redhead. Megan Fox, on the other hand, can barely manage such simple directions as "stand there and look hot".
