It's been revealed today that Transparent creator Jill Soloway has been hired to write and direct Red Sonja. The movie had been put on hold following the backlash that led to X-Men helmer Bryan Singer being fired (as a result of the multiple sexual assault allegations he's faced in recent years). 

Soloway has won two directing Emmys for her work on the Amazon series, and it's now clear that Millennium Films are taking the comic book adaptation very seriously given her hiring. 

They've been trying to get Red Sonja off the ground for a good decade now, and Robert Rodriguez was originally attached way back in 2008 when his then girlfriend Rose McGowan was being eyed for the title role. With a female director at the helm, we can more than likely expect the skimpy costume to be replaced with something a little more practical - much to the chagrin of some fans.

Are you guys excited that Red Sonja is finally starting to come together?

I honestly didn't expect this to happen. I thought attaching Singer to it was some asshole producer's way of thumbing the #MeToo movement in the eye.

@L0RDbuckethead - Yea I read about this a little while ago. Wouldn’t have touched this if I was her.

Not worth it working with this dude. He’s a sick piece of work.

I don'tknow much about the character outside of the clamor her outfit. For this to go into theaters I imagine we'll get a costume akin to this. I think its the most amount of clothing she wears after a quick peruse of google.

@MarkV - Please let there be. I want Red Sonja grounded in Hyboria. Maybe Cimmeria. Maybe Aquilonia. Maybe, even Stygia. Maybe, even Namedia. I played Age of Conan for six years. My Priestress of Mitra, Aleystrae, was one of the most powerful in the game. Probably, the sexiest. But she kicked some ASS. That powered up Repel, she cleaned the FLOOR. And her healing powers? Dude. Everyone wanted her on their team. She even killed that goddamned dragon one time with one spell. Aelystrae. Aely. Right up there with my favorite Dungeons and Dragon characters, Granitefist Rockbrother (who was resurrected by the co-producer of Agents of SHIELD" and Hrghlbhrgl (pronunced "Argle Barlge" while gargling a pint of heavy cream in the back of your throat). I want Conan The Cimmerian Barbarian in the Red Sonja film. And, I actually REALLY enjoyed the Conan film with Jason Mamoa.I thought it was very well done.

Off-topic:

Not to take away from the subject matter on this article, but we have some GREAT hi-res pics of the new suit from FFH. Tom Holland was spotted out today walking around London in it meeting and greeting fans as apart of the press tour.





Question is, BLUE or BLACK??? (Psst... It's BLACK)

Off-Topic: Did anyone read the latest supposed leaked far from home post credit scenes? I feel like critics are overhyping it by calling them mind-blowing if true. Cute, fun and awesome sure but mind-blowing? No.

So I guess this means an R rated movie with tits and ass is out of the question then? 😐

@Feralwookiee - yes. Remember the first Conan movie? That’s history.
