Blogging Behind the Scenes to bring you the Latest ScoopsMovieSet @ AFM: Red Sonja artwork and movie premise
Thursday, November 13, 2008
MovieSet scored this promotional artwork for Robert Rodriguez’s Red Sonja starring Grindhouse uber-babe Rose McGowan as the crimson-haired heroine. We also have to show the movie’s storyline detailing how we’ll be introduced to Red, who her pals are, what her motivation is for hacking bad guys with her blade and who the big meanie guy is. I haven’t seen this shot of Rose as Sonja or such a detailed premise for the film anywhere online so, by Crom, MovieSet may have the online exclusive here. Click through to see the full goods.

This is a shameless rip off of John Milius’ CONAN THE BARBARIAN. But while CONAN was great moviemaking, this on paper has “bad movie” written all over it. If it’s exploitive enough though, that just might save it. But since Rodriguez is producing the movie and he’s in love with the actress, he’ll make sure she doesn’t have to be naked onscreen so SONJA will be nothing more than a cocktease and a waste of time. Why didn’t Rodriguez just throw his desperado’s hat into the ring and direct the new Conan movie, instead?

What do you think Red Sonja is? It’s the female Conan. Were you really expecting something Oscar-worthy?

It’s not really just a Conan ripoff. It’s an adaptation of an old comic. Red Sonja was loosely based on a character by Robert E. Howard, who wrote the original Conan short stories. There could have been a degree of ripping-off at the beginning, but now it’s just parallel development.
And how is a nearly-naked woman so much worse than a completely naked one? Use your imagination!

This is some of the worst movie artwork I’ve seen lately. Really bad photoshop comps, like they just took one image of Rose McGowan’s face and pasted it into a bunch of different things. Everything looks weird and disproportionate. Amateurish.

Not only is this an adaptation of a stupid comic but its a remake of the move Red Sonja which came out shortly after Conan trying to ride its success. Its going to suck because even though Mcgowan is super hot, shes a bad actress and this is a stupid story, plus the old movie was pretty terrible so its hard for me to believe that this will somehow be good.

Matt,
It’s not a remake of the 1985 film. Its a new Red Sonja film based on the comics.
