Bryan Singer Will Stay On As RED SONJA Director Despite New Sexual Misconduct Allegations

Despite mounting pressure on Millennium Films to fire Bryan Singer as Red Sonja's director after new allegations of sexual misconduct, producer Avi Lerner refuses to budge. Check out his statement...

Allegations of rape and sexual misconduct have plagued director Bryan Singer (X-Men, The Usual Suspects) for years, but many believed that the fresh accusations detailed in the recent exposé from The Atlantic would finally be enough to, at the very least, get him blacklisted in Hollywood.

Well, they didn't.

Millennium Films CEO and Red Sonya producer Avi Lerner has now released a statement on the matter, making it vert clear that he has no intention of firing Singer from the project.


"I continue to be in development for Red Sonja and Bryan Singer continues to be attached," Lerner said. "The over $800 million Bohemian Rhapsody has grossed, making it the highest grossing drama in film history, is testament to his remarkable vision and acumen. I know the difference between agenda driven fake news and reality, and I am very comfortable with this decision. In America people are innocent until proven otherwise."

Allegations aside, hiring Singer is a risky prospect for any studio. The filmmaker has earned a reputation for erratic on-set behavior, and was actually fired from helming Bohemian Rhapsody after frequently going missing and clashing with star Rami Malek.

Singer vehemently denies the allegations.

Was there anymore to why Singer was fired from Bohemian Rhapsody? I know he claimed his absences were due to an ill mother, but that sounds like BS. Besides the absences and clashing with Malek, were there other rumors on his firing?

Regardless of what that producer says, it is highly likely that this is not the case.

Avi Lerner and Bryan Singer are boys. Lerner wanted Crews fires from Expendables 4 when he went public about his agents dick grabbing episode.

They have each other’s backs.

@regularmovieguy - oh that was Lerner who forced Crews away from Expendables 4, damn

Honestly I doubt that movie even happens. I see it becoming a DTV franchise - Stallone isn’t getting any younger and he’s finishing up Rambo now.

Wouldn’t mind another one tho. Won’t see it if Terry’s not in it.

@regularmovieguy - I think its happening, was actually reading about it last night. Stallone has said its the last one he does, and he is starting it after Rambo: Last Blood.

Interesting...I’m just going to be so bummed if Sky and co. don’t stick up for Terry.

@regularmovieguy - Sounds like a great starting point for a production about a strong female rape-survivor pushing back against a male-dominated society indifferent to the suffering their unchecked savage desires cause...

...Wait...

@dmac3232 - Gunn's was a joke and they got rid of him, when personally I didn't think he should of been sacked.
But they made a big deal of it but Singer is much worse and they should do what they did to Gunn, sack him.

@marvel72 - Even if it was a joke, he talked about that shit way too much for my liking. Why talk about molesting little boys so much if there isn't some interest, ya know?

marvel72 - 1/25/2019, 6:48 AM
@Mrsinister - I believe Gunn was molested as a child by his uncle, I think heard that. Maybe it was his way of dealing with it, you know make a joke of it.
