Hey, remember our Governor before he was in office? Bet you don't remember a small movie he made called Red Sonja? Well it was a box office flop but has gained an incredible cult following on VHS and DVD. It is one of the very first comic book characters to come to life in a movie, in 1985. It starred Bridgette Nielsen as the title character and co-stared Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Red Sonja is a heroine who uses a sword and sorcery against evil in a fantasy land far away. The comics presented a visual land rarely seen in comics. That is what Robert Rodriguez wants to bring to the silver screen. His version promises a new vision on this classic comic. The trailer is going to be released very shortly, and based on just the promotional poster, it looks fascinating. Rose McGowan is the star of the new movie, set to be released later this year. After what he's done with Sin City, it's going to be interesting to see what he does with this source material. Keep it here at ATD.
