Bosco685 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Christopher Cosmos To Pen A New RED SONJA -script ------------------- A live-action film for Robert E. Howard and Roy Thomas' Red Sonja has long been in development by Nu Image/Millennium Films. Now after a long period of no new information on the adaptation the company has hired Christopher Cosmos to write a new -script. Cosmos doesn't have many projects under his belt when it comes to screenplays, but in 2012, he sold his first -script, The Fall, to QED. ------------------- I didn't realize the false starts that took place. ------------------- The last time any news on the possibility of another film broke was back in 2010 when Robert Rodriguez tried to reboot Red Sonja with his then girlfriend Rose McGowan. Unfortanately, after sustaining injuries from a car accident she was prevented from portraying the She-Devil. Then in 2011, Simon West was going to take a shot at the character with Amber Heard considered for the lead, but that too fell through. If the film does happen this will be the first time since her 1985 solo outing that Red Sonja has appeared in a live-action film. ------------------- ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would love to see a Red Sonja film, my opinion is that currently most of Hollywood does not know how to make a film like this. The last Conan film and Clash of the Titans/ Wrath of the Titans, and even Immortals: As examples of the genre none of them were very good films.

MPS Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Amber Heard and Rose McGowan (especially the latter) are both very pleasing to the eyes, but aren't they a bit diminutive to be playing the She-Devil with a Sword? More specifically, I envision an Amazonian type as Red Sonja - not that I'm suggesting that Brigitte Nielsen take up the mantle again.

Davenport Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would love to see a Red Sonja film, my opinion is that currently most of Hollywood does not know how to make a film like this. The last Conan film and Clash of the Titans/ Wrath of the Titans, and even Immortals: As examples of the genre none of them were very good films. Put whoever the fight-choreographers were on 'Spartacus: War of the Damned' on it. That had some great female warrior scenes. There was one where a woman came flying into the scene airborne, twin daggers in her hands, locked her legs on her enemy's upper torso and worked both sides of his neck as he stood. Just brutal. They would do Red Sonja justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will it play out like the rest of the films in that genre do recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beige Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Who's that wrestling chick - Caruna(?) - I saw her in a TV movie - she might be good. I can't see too much serious acting in a Red Sonja film - but looks and action scenes would seem to put her in the frame. edit: Gina Carano is who I meant.

Bosco685 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I guess the film may be off if this turns out to be true. RUMOR: Bryan Singer Is Developing An R-Rated RED SONJA TV Series According to Bleeding Cool, X-Men: Apocalypse director Bryan Singer is developing an R-rated Red Sonja series for television along with rights holder Luke Lieberman and Jason Taylor, via Singer’s production company Bad Hat Harry. They don't mention which network it'll be for, but if the show is indeed going for a full-on R rating with blood, guts and sword 'n sorcery sex, then that definitely narrows it down some.

zosocane Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 TV would be a much better medium for Red than big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Red Sonja is back on due to Wonder Woman's success. RED SONJA Reboot Officially In The Works; Project Set To Be Fast-Tracked At Millennium Films Quote There have been various rumors relating to both big and small screen Red Sonja reboots doing the rounds for years, but Deadline now reports that Millennium Films plans on fast-tracking another movie version with a view to developing a new franchise. “We have been waiting for the right time for this remake, and with the success of Wonder Woman, the audience has spoken. They want female heroes,” said Millennium's Avi Lerner. Edited November 4, 2017 by Bosco685 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Quote One would think that making a movie starring a scantily-clad woman swinging a massive sword would be a surefire success, but a Red Sonja remake has yet to come to fruition. Fans of the character are in luck, as a screenwriter has reportedly signed on to create a new draft of the comic book character, with Ashley Edward Miller being tapped by Millennium Films in hopes of bringing the project to life. “It’s an exciting opportunity to faithfully adapt the amazing Hyborean world Robert E. Howard created, and inject it with Sonja’s intelligence, ferocity, and fearless humanity,” Miller shared in a statement. “I want people to love Sonja the way I love her, and walk out of the theater understanding why she’s so popular and enduring. Sonja is an icon.” Miller is well-versed in the comic book world, having written the screenplays for both X-Men: First Class and Thor. He also wrote the -script for a Big Trouble in Little China remake, as well as delving into the TV world with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Fringe, and Black Sails.
