Rose McGowan Tweets “Red Sonja” Movie

Robert Rodriguez’s remake of Red Sonja has been delayed multiple times due to actress injuries, financial woes, and word of another Conan the Barbarian movie.

After San Diego Comic Con 2008, you’d think Robert Rodriguez would have Red Sonja in theaters sooner rather than later. Not only did he unveil two posters featuring a red hot Rose McGowan; he expressed a deep passion and excitement for the project. Whether or not it had to do with a bump in the relationship road for McGowan and Rodriguez, nothing has been mentioned concerning the film’s progress in quite some time. But, in an interview with Empire in May, executive producer Joe Gatta explained Conan will be his prime focus and Red Sonja will likely wait until next year.

Now, McGowan has confirmed on her Twitter account that the project is still in the works. To clarify press reports: Red Sonja is delayed, she said. “I pulled out of doing it in ’09. Not permanently. Hopefully will follow Conan. I am still contracted to do Red Sonja. Hopefully Filming in ’10 not ’09.

The new “Red Sonja” movie is said to be an origin story and will completely ignore the previous 1985 film.
