Rose McGowan as Red Sonja? To proceed a new Conan film?



I've read snippets of news and rumours about a new Conan film. But now I'm hearing about a Red Sonja film that might follow it. (I'll take both!)

The Sonja film was originally going to be released for 2009, but has apparently been postponed until 2010, since the Conan film has been indefinitely suspended.

I hope they work this out because I miss these kinds of films that were popular in the '80s: swords & sorcery. We need a resurgence of this kind of film. No more kids stuff, no more 300 eye candy. Just the straight-up goods. Dark themes, course language, and violence; blood, sweat, and steel....

Has anyone else read anything about these projects?
Anyone else hoping they aren't ruined by current trends in filmmaking?

Pinching would make that a less than desirable piece of clothing, yes. Then again, it's partially see through.

Honestly I don't have an opinion about a Red Sonja remake/reboot. All I know is that Brigitte Nielsen scares the living shit out of my penis.

Isn't Rose McGowan kind of short for this role? I've met her and I remember her being a lot shorter than me.

And a chainmail bra does not = Fail... it = hotness. You just need to line it with some leather... mmm leather.

Frankly, I don't think they should touch it. I get the feeling they're ruining a classic with some scrawny bimbo.

At least Brigitte Nielsen was tall and buff enough to be a believable fighter. She kinda turns me on. Mmmmmm.

And they better not even touch the Conan series or I'll answer the riddle of steel after I set fire to their fucking set.

Who said Sonja had to be tall or muscular? She just has to be a she-devil with a sword (and in some kind of mail bikini apparatus).

Besides, Schwarzenegger had an entire film career that benefited from favourable camera angles to make him appear taller.





Chainmail bikini.

Red Sonja a classic? Really? And they already ruined Conan by making Conan The Destroyer. I do agree that sword and sorcery should make a comeback though, as even the worst of those films (Sword And The Sorcerer, Sword Of The Valient, The Deathstalker) were more entertaining then 90% of the crap action flicks that are made now.

Swords and sorcery? Yes, please. I'm not really a fan of Rose McGowan, though. hmmmm.

Also, wouldn't it make more sense if the bikini was +5 Charisma?

thanks crompie. I didn't have an appropriate analogy at all to portray my sick and twisted mental condition that will force me to see this, even though I know it's going to probably suck ass worse than dungeons and dragons, despite the talents of jeremy irons, and now I have one.

if this movie consisted of rose mcgowan doing nothing but parading around in a chainmail bikini while handling weapons, then i'd consider it one of the best of the year, however, we KNOW that there are going to be lines, words, dialogue, and bad acting involved which is most likely going to detract from the awesome sight of steel and skin.

THE HOTNESS OF A SINGLE ACTRESS CANNOT CARRY THE WEIGHT OF A SHIT-FOR-PLOT MOVIE.

I mean, I like "hot babes" as much as the next guy... but if I go to a movie, I want a frickin' story.

Seriously.

Unless it's porn, of course.

I thought that it was a unwritten statement that this was going to be bad, we all know it but we are all going to go see it anyway. It's going to have bad one liners, no plot worth talking about and no acting to speak of. I'm mearly looking at the bright side of The movie, the one thing I'm going to enjoy about spending $10 of my hard earned dollars to watch this flop of a movie. Hot chicks does not a good movie make...

But it does give us something nice to think about as we bash it on the Internet.

One Million Years BC might be the exception to your rule. The plot was atrocious, but it's an incredibly watchable movie simply because of Raquel Welch. Even today, it's something worth watching.

If they ever make a Baywatch movie, I'll be the first in line.

Hey, I enjoyed "D.O.A." (the silly video game knockoff), and it was little more than an excuse to film hot chicks playing volleyball and some pretty good fight choreography.

A good film? Hardly. Entertaining? Hell yes.

You know there is no such thing as campy in 21st century. It is either good or bad, there is no campy inbetween. The only time we get a good campy film is if the director goes out of his/her way to MAKE a campy film. 80's films were campy because that's all they could do, they did not know any better.

... If Scifi channel got ahold of it... you might get some campy out of it.

***

I watched this movie the other day:


Chris Klein........ Words can not express how *BAD* his acting was, I mean I've seen Elementary School plays about giant pumpkins that had more acting chops than he did.

There was nothing redeemable about this movie, no chainmail, no hot girls, fight scenes sucked. In the 80's, this movie would have been campy, now... it just sucks.

Oh God, that was hideous. Chris Klein is the least threatening tough guy I've ever seen. Made what was already a bad movie nearly unwatchable.

Now if Kristin Kreuk and Moon Bloodgood had slugged it out in chainmail bikinis, it might have been a classic...
