When Avi Lerner revealed that "Red Sonja" was back on track at Nu Image, he name checked Drive Angry's Amber Heard as his pick to play the flame haired warrior, saying "Amber is the new Red Sonja ... but she doesn't know it yet!". Well Lerner may get his wish because Heard has revealed in an interview with Moviefone that she is up for playing Sonja, and suggests that there has already been some meeting on the subject..
I assume you've heard the rumor by now, so, 'Red Sonja'? Is that something you're interested in? Were you surprised to hear about it?
I was sort of surprised to hear about it, yeah. I think (producer) Avi (Lerner) even said himself, "She doesn't know it yet." So I was surprised, but also it's something I've been looking at for a while and kind of interested in. I'm definitely interested in being a part of it, but that's all I can kind of comment on right now.
