During an interview with comicbookresources.com while promoting the Dynamite Entertainment's comic series Red Sonja, Luke Liebman gave a brief update on the film adaptions of Thusa Doom and Red Sonja starring Rose McGowan.

In 2008, it was first announced that Rose McGowan would star as the bikini-clad female barbarian warrior, a film that would be produced by Robert Rodriguez and director Doug Aarniokoski.

Two years later, Red Sonja is still in development and according two reports, Rodriguez and Aarniokoski are out with McGowan still hoping to star in the film, which would likely be following the new Conan the Barbarian reboot.

Despite this, there is a glimmering hope that the film will see the light of day, with Luke Lieberman saying that they are currently discussing possible directors for the film based on the 2006 comic series from Dynamite Entertainment, and also mentions there is a Thulsa Doom script and they are currently looking for financing partners. Actor Djimon Hounsou, who has expressed and intrest to play the character, has recently confirmed that there is also a script that he owns the rights to.

"It sounds like they are lining up a new director for 'Sonja.' I think 'Conan' is hitting theaters soon, and if that proves itself in the market, it will bode well for both 'Sonja' and 'Thulsa.' On 'Thulsa,' we just finished the script and are looking for financing partners. Hollywood is always 'hurry up and wait.' Using 'Conan' as an example, this new incarnation took more than 10 years to hit screens. Warners had it, put it through countless rewrites and directors, Warners lost it, now Lionsgate is finally releasing it."



McGowan can currently be seen in threates playing a street junkie in the indie thriller Dead Awake alongside Nick Stahl and Amy Smart. She can next be seen in the Conan the Barbarian reboot as a powerful evil witch that battles Conan, which hits theaters August 19 next year.

Sweet find!



And Thulsa Doom, very interesting!



Thats a first I've heard of that!

I say bring bk KULL too!


What I do think a crime is though, is if ROSE is playing RED SONJA then she should be playing RED SONJA in CONAN not a f'ing Witch, also a bigger crime is RACHEL NICHOLS in CONAN, as shes perfect for RED SONJA...



oh well.

I love the Character of Red Sonja and I love Rose McGowan
BUT................
she will NEVER be cast as RS.
this shite is taking too long.
by the time a RS movie gets made Rose will be too old to play the part.

I'm not a fan of Rose McGowan and I think she only got a lot of her roles through dating Marilyn Manson and Robert Rodriguez. As an actress she isn't that great looking and I haven't enjoyed her performance in anything.
I couldn't believe Rod wanted to give her the role in Barbarella. Jane Fonda was stunning in her day and I don't think Rose could even come close to matching her.

I agree with Lee Nichols should be playin RS. When she was in the star trek movie she looked like she had some meat on her bones, but it was a good meat. cause realstically it takes a strong person to swing a sword for a sword fight and i dont believe anyone would believe rose could pull off a sword fight.
