Red Sonja, the 1985 sword and sorcery film, starring Brigitte Nielsen along with extremely muscular Arnold Schwarzenegger, is about to see its remake realized by next year. In the role of the merciless redhead will be “Charmed” Rose McGowan, while the production and unofficial co-directing will be the work of Robert Rodriguez, whose signature is found on viral successes such as Desperado and the more recent and quite relevant Sin City. Filming has reportedly just begun for the action-packed movie, although apart from this series of fascinating, vengeful posters, no more information has been released.
