Alba for Red Sonja? Jul. 3, 2008

Source: io9Perez Hilton

Jessica Alba Last week, we told you about Robert Rodriguez and Rose McGowan ditching their plan to remake BARBERELLA and instead teaming up for a RED SONJA remake. However, according to pop culture media whore Perez Hilton, McGowan and Rodriguez, who've been romantically linked for a little while now, have split and that has apparently also ended plans they had for a SONJA remake. What's more, the studio is already moving on and are looking to Jessica Alba to become the bad ass warrior princess. Is it worth it just to see her strut around in something like say, THIS? Yup! What do you guys think?

Extra Tidbit: Original Red Sonja Brigitte Nielsen was married to Sylvester Stallone.

That's what these studio suits with zero creativity would have you believe at least. If you NEED to have a hot Jessica, go with Biel. That broad has guns!!!!

Also, as she's getting older, she's getting harder to look at without the epoxy resin makeup they cover her in for movie shoots.

... Zoe Bell? She could even do most of her own stunts. Mcgowen will do fine if this news is bogus. Get Bell as her nemisis.

As for Alba it would be miscasting, as she is cute, girlish and about a foot too short, where as Red Sonja needs to be sexy, womanly, and tall.

Ok, Alba is a hottie; an overrated hottie but a hottie nonetheless. However, she doesn't give me the feeling that she can kick my ass and that was a big part of what made Brigitte so hot as Sonja! They should totally bring her back to do a sequel called "Red Sonja: The MILF Chronicles"!

Extra Tidbit: Flava' Flav' could have an awesome cameo!

I'm kind of really fed up with the action movie for chicks genre. it has never gotten very far. Most of them if not all of them are pretty bad and quite dumb. Why remake a bomb?

I have to admit, should this one go through, whatever I think about "Red Sonja" or Alba, it would most likely be an improvement over anything she's done in the last three years.

Off the top of my head I'd rather see Jessica Biel get this role. She's already fit as hell and would just need a bit of hair coloring. She was also a baddass with a bow and a competent fighter in Blade Trinity.

You guys (at JoBlo) are a little out of date with the news. Rose McGowan's representative has already stated that not only are she and Rodriguez together, but the film is still on - just yesterday!

Completely wrong for the role. They need a younger Lucy Lawless, or someone like Rosario Dawson or Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck from BSG).

Bad idea. I think Rose McGowan would have been perfect. Though, I think Alba is gorgeous, I think McGowan is a better actress, and would fit the part better

Alba's role choices are like a big slap in the face to God. What has he done, but bless her in almost every way imaginable, and she repays him like this? We deserve better.

Poor Red Sonja. McGowan is bad enough. But Alba is way worse. This new Red Sonja could possibly be worse than the original movie. I'll stick to the new comics.

Alba could be good if this was boneanne the barbarian but sadly she just doesnt belong in a sword and sorcery flick except as some trophy prize for the hero. To be honest more people would prefer to see her naked so instead why not cast her in barbarella. She can get naked. She can fuck a few lucky guys. The studios can make a lot of money. Everyone wins. So why not do that instead.

I know I'm the one guy on earth who isn't infatuated with Alba, but looks or not, she can't act. Even when in good movies, she's still terrible. Imagine her scrawny body swinging a sword around. Awful. Just awful.

Give the role to a voluptuous woman with a strong body. Why can't the awful remakes at least try to be good. Why not try some inventive casting at least. Get Rosario Dawson or if going for obvious, then Angelina Jolie.

DO NOT LET JESSICA ALBA ANYWHERE NEAR A FILM OR TELEVISION SCREEN EVER AGAIN. She's an awful actress who has proven that time and time again. Zero charisma, zero presence, zero talent. The only reason people (read: men) like her is because they think she's hot. I don't think that she's all that anyway, and I've said that time and time again. She's also Box Office Poison. Look at THE LOVE GURU, THE EYE, and AWAKE. And the films of hers that have made money? Comic book films that people went to see not because of her, but because of everything else in them.

The only thing that can save her career is nudity. I'm serious. Once she starts showing some skin, people will start paying attention.
