Red Sonja Movie Gets a Writer

While Arnold strides inexorably towards his destiny as King Conan in Conan 3 or The Legend of Conan or whatever you want to call it, another Robert E. Howard creation may grace the silver screen, as well. This time it's the "she-devil with a sword" known as Red Sonja.

Christopher Cosmos has been hired by Nu Image/Millennium Films to write a Red Sonjascreenplay. And there, in that sentence, we have all the official information out there about the Red Sonja movie. Savor it.

Of course, this isn't the first time we'll have seen Red Sonja on the screen. 1985 (were the mid-80s the golden age of sword and sorcery flicks?) saw the release of the appropriately titled movie, Red Sonja, from Conan the Destroyer director Richard Fleischer. It starred Brigitte Nielsen in the title role and Arnold Schwarzenegger as burly sword-swinger not named Conan.

The character currently calls Dynamite Comics the home of her printed adventures, most of which have been penned by the always awesome Gail Simone. We'll get you more on this as we hear it.
