Superhero Hype talks Red Sonja

Robert Rodriguez is on hand to produce “Red Sonja,” starring Rose McGowan.  Superhero Hype talked to McGowand and Rodriguez about the film:
Rose McGowan: Well, I thought “Red Sonja” was incredibly badass. The studio brought me the script. I got really excited about it. I’d been getting such boring scripts and after doing Cherry in “Planet Terror,” I was really in a quite a deep depression — I’m not going to lie — at least workwise. I came home and said, “I really want to do this movie. It’s kind of great. Look at these comic books, you ever heard of this person? This is insane!” And then…
Robert Rodriguez: I had been into “Conan” since I was twelve. “Savage Sword of Conan” was the first comic I had gotten. There was lots of Red Sonja in that. Robert E. Howard, who I’m a fan of, was from Texas. I used to collect his books and just knew all about it so I was very surprised when she brought the comic script and offer. I said, “If you want to do that, that’s a great project to do!” That’s like a fantasy project for somebody who grew up with this.

While I’m certain the picture I’ve included here would be enough for the woman who called to complain to me the last time I wrote about Red Sonja, I’m not even stopping there.  Click past the cut for one of the least subtle promotional posters I’ve ever seen.
