Interviewer: Is this compensation for red sonja or what, because we were all waiting for you in red sonja and that was like a big thing probably for us and they ummm…you broke your arm

Rose: Well my elbow had three surgeries and they took part of my bone out…I had…I was paralyzed…except for the ends of my fingers…and umm over the course of a year it got progressively worse. It was just a massive nerve damage so if I broke it again, there would be nothing more they could do. So something that is sword heavy, the odds of me getting hurt are pretty strong…and…I still love doing battle stuff. I still do stunts, it's my favorite thing. I always get hurt, but I have a blast. But I need to tip the scales in that…paralysis isn't really the…

Interviewer: Not it's not

Rose: not worth the movie

Interviewer: Just point for us…

Rose: Red Sonja…would have been dope…I would have killed it…

Interviewer: Well, we'll imagine it in our head.

Rose: It is a putty yeah, but the ladder could have fallen on my head and I could have died.

Interviewer: exactly..


Red Sonja which is just a female version of Conan in my opinion was last seen on film in 1985. In that version, Brigitte Neilsen (Flavor Flav's lover) played the Robert E. Howard's female barbarian. Basically the female warrior goes around wielding her sword, slashing and killing anything she doesn't care for.

The latest rumor has Amber Heard in the role, but I don't think that is a good fit, nor do I think Rose McGowan would've been right for the role. Who do you guys think should be the lead in Red Sonja?
