Red Sonja Movie Panel at SDCC

 


Can you believe it's been 40 years since Red Sonja first appeared on the big screen? The She-Devil With A Sword is back again, and looking better than ever! I hope Arnold Schwarzenegger gets a cameo!

Here's the scoop on the movie, and a Red Sonja panel at San Diego Comic-Con: 

  

Matilda Lutz Stars as RED SONJA in New Reboot 
In Theaters August 15th & On Digital August 29th

Matilda Lutz, Robert Sheehan, and Martyn Ford to be on RED SONJA panel July 24th at San Diego Comic-Con

 Releasing in theaters August 15th and on digital August 29th, be the first to see Matilda Lutz, Robert Sheehan, and Martyn Ford in the exhilarating new trailer for the RED SONJA reboot from Samuel Goldwyn Films, directed by MJ Bassett.

Captured. Chained. Forced to fight for survival. Red Sonja must battle her way through the blood-soaked pits of a tyrant’s empire and rally an army of outcasts to reclaim her freedom and take down Dragan and his ruthless bride, Dark Annisia.

Matilda Lutz, Robert Sheehan, and Martyn Ford will be in attendance at San Diego Comic-Con, with a RED SONJA panel taking place 5:30 pm PT on July 24th at SD Convention Center in Ballroom 20, where the cast will discuss bringing the comic book icon to life in the new reboot.  

We’re thrilled to be bringing Red Sonja to audiences across the nation. The fanbase for the legendary character is big and passionate and we’re confident that this film will deliver for them,” shares SGF president Peter Goldwyn.

I look forward to working with Samuel Goldwyn on the release of Red Sonja.  This film has been a long road and we couldn’t be more excited about this screen version of the legendary character who is the first and foremost an empowered heroine.  The fans are lined up and surely will be thrilled,” producer Mark Canton shares.

The fans are ready, the movie is ready, and I can’t wait to share Red Sonja’s story with the world. Those who know her will see the heart and fire they love, and newcomers will discover the true She-Devil with a Sword,” adds producer Luke Lieberman.

We’re beyond thrilled to announce the release of Red Sonja alongside our partners at Samuel Goldwyn Films. It’s been an incredible journey bringing this iconic character to life, and director MJ Bassett and star Matilda Lutz have crafted an unforgettable filmic adaptation of her story. We can’t wait for audiences to experience the power and excitement of Red Sonja on the big screen!” said producer Jonathan Yunger.
