One day after learning that the upcoming Red Sonja movie has been rated “R” for “Strong/bloody violence,” Deadline has shared a new image along with additional information.
For starters, Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired Red Sonja, a new feature film adaptation of the comic books. A theatrical release is being planned here in the U.S. later this year.
M.J. Bassett (Ash vs. Evil Dead) directed the upcoming movie, with Matilda Lutz (Revenge) starring as the title character. Check out a badass new shot of Lutz’s Red Sonja above.
“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,” said Samuel Goldwyn Films president Peter Goldwyn.
In the film, “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.”
Robert Sheehan (The Umbrella Academy), Wallis Day (Sheroes), Michael Bisping (Den of Thieves), Luca Pasqualino (Snowpiercer), Rhona Mitra (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans), Martyn Ford (Final Score), Ben Radcliffe (Cuban Fury), Eliza Matengu (Predestination), Veronica Ferres (Crisis), Phillip Winchester (Strike Back) and Trevor Eve (Waking the Dead) star alongside Matilda Lutz.
The Red Sonja movie was written by Joey Soloway and Tasha Huo.
