“Red Sonja” Comic Con Posters

Today we added two new awesome and sexy “Red Sonja” posters in our FF gallery.

“Red Sonja” is based on a heroine created by Robert E. Howard and adapted for Marvel Comics by Roy Thomas. In her return we find Red Sonja, a young girl risen from the ashes of tragedy to become the most feared woman warrior of all time. The mythical red-head blindly seeks vengeance on those who destroyed her family. In her path of destruction she discovers a larger purpose for her unearthly powers: to save all Hyrkania from the villainous Kulan Gath.

The film is presented/produced by Robert Rodriguez and will be directed by Douglas Aarniokoski (Highlander: Endgame). The screenplay is written by David White (Undisputed II: Last Man Standing). The new film will star Rose McGowan as the mythical flame-haired comic-book vixen with a sword, Red Sonja.

Production is set to begin in October of this year.

Djimon Hounsou is Conan’s Thulsa Doom!

Djimon Hounsou’s (Blood Diamond) “dream project” has finally been confirmed in the trades. Variety reports that Hounsou is pairing up with Dynamite Entertainment to star in and produce a movie about Thulsa Doom, nemesis of King Kull and Conan the Barbarian.The film will showcase the origins of the character, setting him up as a flawed hero. And we will see that his road to hell was paved with good intentions. A comic book headlined by Thulsa Doom will hit stands later next year.

The character of Thulsa Doom first appeared in the 1930s in Robert E. Howard’s pulp stories. A powerful necromancer, Thulsa Doom is Kull the Conqueror’s primary foe. In the comics, he is portrayed as an undead sorcerer with a skull for a face. Not only can he control snakes and serpents, but he had the ability to change shape, become invisible, and was seeming immortal until Conan killed him in the movie. In that classic 1982 Arnold Schwarzenegger flick, Doom was actually played by James Earl Jones. He was portrayed as the primarily villain that Conan eventually fought.

The film is not yet set up with a studio, and does not have a set start date at this time.
