Planned for 2010 with Rose McGowan as Sonja and Simon West as Director. Lots of recastings happened when they finally started filming in 2022 with Matilda Lutz as Sonja and M. J. Bassett as Director.


After a lot of weird casting choices, this doesn't look too bad
Obviously not AAA, but the one from 1985 was cheap too, it bombed and critics hated it lol

Spoiler

I loved it

 

[INC]

the orignal had charm for being budget and shit, but still good fun

this looks like a fan made film, with 0 charm

ill skip

 

[kunonabi]

I also love the original Red Sonja. This I can live without though.

 

[willothedog]

the swords and sorcery genre was epic back in the day, leave them be, no shitty remakes.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Looks trashy, but if it got heart, likeable characters and a fun story I'll give it a whirl.

 

[Madflavor]

Will definitely bomb at the BO, but it looks pretty low budget so I dunno, might make it's money back at some point?

I'll watch it when it's streaming, when the wife and kid are in bed...

 

[Stitch]

It's in theaters starting August 15 and already on digital platforms August 29 so yeah, I think they want that video-on-demand money

 

[SidViscous]

Did they borrow the costumes from a porno parody?

 

[Wildebeest]

Could be okay. With Arnie's Conan and Marvel I might visually expect more heavily juiced up actors and it isn't bad to see more normal bodies.

 

[TheUnicornGuy]

At least it won't be as bad as the Conan remake.

 

[cormack12]

[Baemono]

I visited the studios where they filmed it, they kept repeating it was going to be a big movie, I don't see it

 

[DetectiveBananas]

Well, it's rated R so there is a little bit of hope it could be a Bad but Good gore fest! Will end up watching it on HBO or Amazon.

 

[Melon Husk]

Hottest film of 2005. Could be entertaining if it's not like 3 hours long.

I visited the studios where they filmed it, they kept repeating it was going to be a big movie, I don't see it

The director's okay but mostly done TV

 

[Artoris]

Looks OK to me

 

[AJUMP23]

Looks made for TV, and that is what I am here for.

 

[AJUMP23]

At least it won't be as bad as the Conan remake.

 

[Zarak]

Someone found the Syfy movie of the week leftovers bag.

 

[analog_future]

this doesn't look too bad

so yeah, this turned out pretty decent

 

[Little Mac]

It's like a porno without the fucking.

 

[TheUnicornGuy]

Only because it's still rare to get films that are actually as bad as that, although Jason Momoa did manage to do it again with the second Aquaman film.

 

[Beretta]

I remember the original with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen, I still envy her cooch for landing Sylvester Stallone in the 80's but anyway, this one looks like garbage, I might have a watch if it is on tv and I'm extreme bored but it really does look like dogshit and I wish Hollywood would leave the classics alone.

 

[jason10mm]

Huh, they finally got something made, etc? The Lutz chick is cute enough, but waaaaay too lean. Sonja is a FIGHTER, not a yoga instructor! She ain't gonna sell any of those fights and it will be a jump cut mess.

All those bad guys look like shady accountants, the casting for this is a mess. I get they probably needed reedy guys to match their reedy lead but shit, if they are gonna have her fight a 20 foot minotaur or whatever that was, then at least anchor this trash with some burly male actors of repute. That they couldn't get Gerard Butler, Ron Perlman, Frank, Grillo, or at least Nic Cage for this is disappointing (or shit, Kevin Sorbo as a ghost King Kull, why the fuck not?).

Prime Rose McGowan would have been sweet, though I guess we kinda got that with her Conan bit

I did like the nod to the classic outfit, too bad it would fall right off the actress

 

[RoboFu]

she's too small and looks more like a stripper than warrior. pass

 

[Trunx81]

Looks like a mix of Xena and Uwe Bolls "Blood Rayne".
Hard pass.

 

[Lunarorbit]

This shit looks horrible. You can just tell from the lighting on the movie poster it's a cheap movie. Trailer was laughably bad

 

[AJUMP23]

This is my Red Sonja.

 

[near]

Damn, I remember when Robert Rodriguez was attached to direct this years ago. Better late than never I guess.

 

[Hari Seldon]

You guys are nuts of course I want my fantasy to be filled with hot stripper leads that is why it is called fantasy.

 

[Trogdor1123]

A back flip into shooting a bow…

 

[Draugoth]

They did a good job considering the budget

 

[Giallo Corsa]

This looks abhorrent, I just can't anymore with this "straight to DVD®" shite, seriously, who enjoys this trash ?

Jason Momoa isn't to blame, the writers are.

They wasted his potential.

Indeed, but he still managed to be in 2 ridiculously bad films.
