She's back! Synopsis: At the very young age of 17, in their home in Western Hyrkania, Sonja's entire family is viciously murdered by a rapacious band of mercenaries. The leader of the pack rapes Sonja and leaves her full of shame, surrounded by nothing but the lifeless bodies of her family. Scathach, the red goddess raises an eyebrow and gives her mastered and unmatched skill in sword wielding, as well as with other weapons, as long as Sonja agrees never to give herself to a man unless he proves to best her in combat.
Millenium Films and Emmett/Furla films will bring the new film to us with a production budget of more than $25 million. Head of Millenium Films Joe Gatta said "The first movie was not a good one -- all the more reason to remake it. It is a great character and a great brand."
