Red Sonja film is finally moving forward.

"We have been waiting for the right time for this remake," said Lerner, "and with the success of Wonder Woman, the audience has spoken. They want female heroes."

Millennium Media is financing, producing and will fast-track the project. They'll hire a writer next.

If you don't know anything about Red Sonja, she's been in hundreds of comic books and had her own movie back in 1985.

That's great. Hollywood definitely needs more female superhero movies.

I'm interested. Not sure if this would be a big screen must see or wait on blu ray at this point.

The article leaves me with three questions at this point though: are they gonna go with the scale mail bikini she's known for in the comics or the Brigitte Nielsen route? Are they're going with classic Sonja or the "reincarnationed" version? Are they actually going to cast a woman that's the proper height?

Deborah Ann Woll is close to the right height and she's not a bad actress. Plus she's already in Daredevil so she isn't exactly against comic book properties.

I can't see them doing this without changing so much.

Only exposure to Red Sonja I've had is Gail Simone's run on it. Was alright.

Good, Brigitte Nielsen could probably use the work

I liked the original film when I was a kid. They could probably do something fun with the library of material already out there for the character.

If only Rhonda Rousey could act, she'd be perfect.
