Rose McGowan set to star. Robert Rodriguez would direct.

Has Rodriguez kicked his booze habit?

I heard it got really, really, really bad when they were making Grindhouse.

Has Rose McGowan stopped paying doctors to chop up her face?

I hear it got really, really, really bad after she got out of the nineties.

What is Red Sonja anyway?

Didn't Milla Jovovich already star in something like that?

I hope Gerard Butler is in it. I hope he plays someone who is exactly Leonidas, but is not called Leonidas. And I hope he and Red Saranja swordfight and fall in love.

She's a female warrior created by the same guy who created and wrote the original Conan books. There was a lame movie about said character made in the mid-80s staring Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold, though Arnold bizarrely did not reprise his role as Conan.

I hope you realize that the second Hicks dunks your alley-oop, your move will go down in the book as an assist.

I do not realize this, Thursty, and neither do you.

It will be realized when Hicks's fingertips are squeezed white around the rim and the ball is dropping all a-swish through bleached nylon.

If she wears the original costume, I'm in.

It's not a costume. It's her ARMOR!!!!!!

It would be really cool if Angela Bassett (I don't care how old she is; she's smokin' hot) were cast, instead. She could keep her original hair color, and then when someone asks her why people call her "Red," she could say, "Maybe it's because I'm Irish."

This could possibly be the best movie ever.

But only if Arnold signs up.

Rodriguez headed up the Red Sonja panel at Comic Con 2008 yesterday:

"Robert Rodriguez greeted fans at the San Diego Comic-Con and offered a first look at the upcoming Red Sonja feature, set to star Rose McGowan as the red-haired Robert E. Howard heroine. Though no footage has been shot, a lot of promotional images have already been prepared and were revealed for the first time, depicting McGowan in the classic chainmail bikini, one of which has been prepared as a mini-poster that will be distributed to fans right after the panel.

Rodriguez recalled his love for Howard's characters, pinpointing the specific "Savage Sword of Conan" issue #60 as the moment he fell in love with the world of Cimmeria. He had been trying to get Red Sonja on the big screen for years and, coincidentally, the script came across McGowan's desk at exactly the right time.

Because of his commitments, Rodriguez wasn't able to direct "Sonja" and instead offered up the reins to his friend, Douglas Aarniokoski. He did promise that he'll be extremely hands-on as a producer to the extent that it'll basically be unofficial co-directing.

The big news from Rodriguez is that he's in early talks to produce the upcoming Conan film as well, cementing the filmic universe. With that, "Sonja" and Thulsa Doom all coming in the next few years, Robert E. Howard fans should be very happy."

Starring Rose McGowan--now with even more Plastic AssChin!

It's kinda great that they are developing every Howard project conceivable but the one people really want to see. (Oh, sure, it's "in development," but that's been the case since the mid eighties, hasn't it?)

Coming Soon to a Theater Near You:

El Borak Takes Afghanistan (March 2010)
Raising Solomon Kane (Summer 2010)
Kull the King (March 2011)
Pigeons from Hell: Back into Hell (Summer 2011)

Why must you crap on every film starring a hot chick who doesn't attract you the way Estelle Getty does? Leave us to enjoy the chainmail bikini in peace, half-watched Dark City pariah!

You gonna try and tell me that post-2002 Rose McGowan doesn't have Plastic AssChin?

I remember the Good Old Days (late nineties)--back when it was just AssChin.

You're worse than Jerry Seinfeld when it comes to noticing and then obsessing over *one* silly flaw in a woman and deciding you don't like her for it.

Rose McGowan's Chin, An Ass:



Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Better image of the Red Sonja poster featuring Rose:

You know why she's hiding that right leg?

Because part of it is a machine gun!

Has there ever been a great (or really good) actioneer with a female as the lead?

Aliens is the only one I can think of, but even then it doesn't thrive on the premise that the chick does badass things.

I've been racking my brain, for what it's worth, for the past 30 minutes trying to think of another example, and I can't.

The poster with the cliche scantily clad chick holding the cliche sword in the cliche crouching position (hubba hubba!) doesn't help much.

They are trying so hard to make these things work, and, from what I gather, it just ain't working.

Girl power though!

Some might say Kill Bill Vols. 1 and 2.

The Underworld films also come to mind.

It's stupid dumb fucking shit. Making us think we should like an action movie because a chick has tits in it!

BULLSHIT!

I fucking hate all Star Trek and SciFi channel fans for bringing this upon us.

Fucking hate hate hate it. Seriously.

Even the new "Top Gun" reboot has Tom being the trainer, having to deal with a cocky female student. Probably be Megan Fox.

Go fuck yourselves.
