McGowan set for Sonja! Jun. 27, 2008
Source: USA Today
by: Mike Sampson

Forget what you've heard about BARBARELLA - Robert Rodriguez and girlfriend Rose McGowan are instead teaming up for a remake of RED SONJA. USA Today reports that Rodriguez will produce a remake of the 1985 film with McGowan in the starring role. Says McGowan of the casting, "When they first came to me with it, I thought it was funny...I do have a body made for sitting on a veranda with mint juleps and a parasol. I don't know why I always have to save the planet." Rodiguez doesn't quite agree and thinks she's a perfect fit for Sonja. "Rose is a pistol. She's whip-smart, has attitude to burn, is sexy, extremely strong, yet has a vulnerable side that would surprise her closest friends. That description also fits Red Sonja." McGowan will dye her hair red for the role and begin an rigorous training regimen to get ready for the October start date. While Rodriguez will only be producing the film, his longtime associate Douglas Aarniokoski (who served as First AD on SPY KIDS, THE FACULTY and FROM DUSK TILL DAWN) will direct. The film is set for a 2010 release. You can read the entire article here at USA Today.

Extra Tidbit: Both McGowan and Rodriguez claim to have never seen the original film.

AT LEAST HE'S NOT DIRECTING IT...
I also don't believe Robert hasn't seen Red Sonya, with all the crap him and Quentin say they watch.

I can't even picture Rose as the She-Devil with a Sword without it coming off as comical. At least Bridgette Nielson was a ball-busting bitch, so she could pull it off somewhat.

I used to idolize Robert... now, he's just a pandering whore, who can't make cheap, fun, original flicks anymore... or, so it seems with all the buzz lately. I can't wait til him and funny face break up, so he can do flicks without her.

Oh, and the original flick was horrible, and they're both full of shit when they say they haven't seen it.

First of, Zombie's wife is a decent actress, second off, what are all these projects tha fizzled out?? I know of ONE so far that fizzled and it probably is still in the works, just not for a while and that is Barbarella. Which "fizzled out projects with Rose attached" are you talking about? Besides that, HES PRODUCING not Directing. Good lord people. She's not that bad. No one would call her a "groupie bitch" if she dated lets say John Mayor and not Manson. Just because it was Manson people have it out for her. Get a fucking life and wait t judge when the trailer hits. Geesh.

DUMP THIS BROAD
This Manson groupie is going to ruin his career faster then Madonna destroyed Guy Ritchie's. At least her acting isn't as bad as Kevin Smith's wife. Why can't more people have wives like Lauren Bacall?

BOOOOOOOO!
Red Sonja? Give me a break! Yet another waste of film by Rodriguez. The only reason anyone would go see this movie is to check out McGowan's little outfits.

@domzio
Exactly. The first Red Sonja movie was a piece of shit and had nothing to do with the comics. That is why Rodriguez didn't even want to see it in the first place. And this one will be close to the comics. I'm a huge fan of Dynamite Red Sonja comics and I hope the movie will rock!!!
