Rodriguez is serving as producer on the film with his long-time second unit director Douglas Aarniokoski in the director’s chair. Oh, and Red Sonja will be played by none other than Rose McGowan. Luscious, delicious and deadly Rose McGowan. What more could you want? How about a logline:
Rodriguez was asked during the presentation panel if he had any intentions of wussing out on the gore that we all would expect from a movie about a warrior woman seeking vengeance. His response? ”My name’s Robert Rodriguez. That’s “RR”. That means a double dose of R-rating.”
Apparently the joke was well received. Rodriguez also made mention that when one thinks of iconic art from Conan or Red Sonja, one sees them standing on a pile of bodies. He promise that the Red Sonja film will deliver on that imagery as well.
Production is set to kick off in October, so expect more updates soon!
