Rodriguez&#8217;s real-life paramour, Rose McGowan.<\/p>\n<p>My knee-jerk reaction to this is mixed. The positive is that the director of such kick-butt films as <strong>El Mariachi, Sin City <\/strong>and <strong>Grindhouse: Planet Terror <\/strong>is guiding <strong>Red Sonja&#8217;s <\/strong>return to the big screen. However, it seem a bit like a vanity project he&#8217;s doing for his fiancee. I mean, McGowan is an improvement over Brigitte Nielsen (who played Sonja in 1985&#8217;s <strong>Red Sonja <\/strong>film), but would she have the lead in a sword and sorcery actioner if she wasn&#8217;t engaged to the producer\/director?<\/p>\n<p>Red Sonja is a minor character from the Robert E. Howard mythos who gained higher exposure in the 1970s when Marvel Comics&#8217; writers increased her role in the pages of their Conan the Barbarian books.
