Red Sonja (remake)

[Nate Grey]

Seems about right to me. I'll watch it. Whenever it comes out.

But what I would really like to see is a movie about Red Sonya. I'd like to see it attempted at least once.

I hope the film's cinemotography isn't that of the movie poster's. I won't be able to enjoy it. The original isn't as bad as people make it seem. Unless the trailer was just really good.

[Paradox]

Go watch it. It's not TERRIBLY written but it's not good either. And both Brigitte and Arnold's acting is as ham-fisted as it could possibly be. Makes Arnold's Conan portrayals look like Oscar performances.

I'm all for stylistic interpretations....but why do they insist going with the B/W stuff?I can think of a hundred different ways to stylize a film w/out resorting to the Sin City motif.

I might end up giving it a chance because of Rodriguez, but I'm sceptical. I liked McGowan in Planet Terror, but I agree with her that she looks like she should be "sitting on a veranda sipping mint juleps." She just isn't physically imposing enough to look the part of an REH style sword-wielding warrior. I'm not sure she can change her style enough to sound right for the role, either.

Agree she is hardly physically imposing like Lucy Lawless still is today. It's a shame this wasn't done 5 or 10 years ago as Lawless would be ideal casting for the part.

Weird, everyone's acting like Rodriguez is directing, writing, producing, composing, and catering this flick singlehandedly.

Poor Wonder Woman. She's never gonna get her movie is she...

Agree she is hardly physically imposing like Lucy Lawless still is today. It's a shame this wasn't done 5 or 10 years ago as Lawless would be ideal casting for the part.

I thought Lucy Lawless was the ideal casting part for Wonder Woman? She's the ideal for everything.

Look at this way: if it's no better than the original, at least this time around we get a hot chick in a bikini.

I don't know, I think she looks good

[Jared]

I can't look at a picture of her without seeing in the back my mind either
A) What she looks like now
or
B) Flavor Flav.

Regarding the article, is anyone else sick of seeing filmmakers talk about how using a combination of CG and practical affects as if it's an idea they're the first to think of?

[Paradox]

Oops, wrong thread, sorry.

[ForeverTaskmaster]

Rose McGowan as Red Sonja won't make me tune in. The way I see it Christy Hemme would be a perfect Red Sonja. She even has the fury down.

[TheDarkestHorse]

Do not have high hopes for this at all.

I mean, this sort of "sure, honey" casting almost never works out and between the overrated Sin City, the badass awesome of 300, and the upcoming rape of Eisner's Spirit I'm getting bored with the hyper-style look that, at least in the poster, seems to be used here again.

I don't think I've seen McGowan naked though.

Then you haven't lived, sir. ;)

I agree with most everyone that she's wrong for the part, and a mediocre actress (Charmed is cringe inducing) but I still think she's one of the sexiest women alive.
