“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.
