No release date for this movie yet, but if it's already in production in Bulgaria and Greece, that's happy news for a couple reasons.
Never heard of Matilda Lutz (Red Sonja), have you?
But Robert Sheehan is a surprising choice for a male lead - his rendition of Klaus on Umbrella Academy isn't exactly a female audience draw.
Of course Nick Barucci of Dynamite Comics has his name in there as one of the producers.
Waiting to see what happens. Here's the article which just dropped:

Red Sonja movie in production (Millennium Media)
I'd rather Wallis Day was Sonja
How strange are the ways of the gods ...........and how cruel.

Yes, I agree - but she should be hot and evil as Annisia.
The two female leads are attractive, the blonde as the evil half-sister is promising. Hopefully we get jealous sister enjoying dungeon time with Sonja.
Personally, I think a lower tier company will do a better job. An A-list actress may balk at doing the sexy bits and Disney would not allow for the feisty slave girl scenes or the harem dungeon. Really, what I want is old school misogyny sword and sandals epic, which we won’t get with ScarJo and Marvel.
Our chances of getting what we want is better with Roger Corman or some similar producer that would rather make money than build a family brand.

First look of Matilda Lutz as Red Sonja. Can’t see full-body but it seems they are going for an armored look which is disappointing but not surprising.

Sonja is suppose to be scantily clad.

The chances of them going for a campy scantily clad comic-accurate heroine in a 2022 hollywood production are close to zero.Dazzle1 wrote: ↑1 year agoAlso not true to the comic.Evil Spider wrote: ↑1 year agoI like her very much, must see more pics!Supergirl763 wrote: ↑1 year agoFirst look of Matilda Lutz as Red Sonja.

I think this will be the armored Gal Gadot-Wonder Woman version of Red Sonja but let’s hope and wait until we get a full-body shot.

Well, judging from the picture she isn't wearing full armor (like Galadriel) but only armor pieces.
Which makes a lot of sense if you are a warrior....
It will be interesting to see a full-body shot.
Perhaps she gets an armor chest plate with a cleavage... that would be a compromise ;-)
Although her back isn't armored, so maybe she will just run around in a leather bra....

I hope something like Guinevere from King Arthur (2004). Midriff and/or legs exposed.Maskripper wrote: ↑1 year agoWell, judging from the picture she isn't wearing full armor (like Galadriel) but only armor pieces.

Wow. Having seeing this amazing photo I am hyped. But even more so, I decided to read an article on a website called Talkhouse from 2017,
which is an eye-opening interview with the Red Sonja movie director MJ Bassett, probably the most level-headed trans individual I've ever seen in recent public media who has an actual string of accomplishments (Deathwatch, Solomon Kane, Silent Hill).
This movie went from Hannah John-Kamen and Joey Soloway, to Matilda Lutz and MJ Bassett. That's probably the best and most positive U-turn one could hope for. 'Rogue' is a so-so movie, but take the time to watch it, to see how Bassett makes the most of Megan Fox as hot, powerful, and sweaty
for action. That's exactly what is needed in a Red Sonja flick, and so I'm very excited to see the result!

First look of Matilda Lutz in costume as Red Sonja
https://theronin.org/2023/02/19/exclusi ... nes-armor/
Looks like they went with a balance between her classic chain mail bikini and practical costume

another character ruined
Looking at that picture, all I can say is it could have been much, much worse. At least they didn't make her wear baggy pants, right?

It looks horrible
It looks as fine as it's gonna get, really. I see bright red hair, I see room to display cleavage, I see plenty of skin on the arms, the midriff, and the legs.
What else did you want? There was never going to be a bikini. If this movie had been made as an American production (if it even could be made at all), it would have been a lot worse.
The real test is whether the production is going to be soaked in sociopolitical messaging or not. From what I see, the director's daughter Isabel is probably not involved in writing the script, and movies produced in Bulgaria and filmed in Greece don't have much chance of ending up woke, so I'm guessing it won't be. The director herself is trans, but has absolutely no history of injecting agenda in any movies up until now.
What I find interesting about director MJ Bassett is that 'he' (past tense) was quite a handsome man back in the days when he directed Solomon Kane (2009) and apparently upon transitioning in 2017, committed to adopting a very attractive female presentation. The physical change to the complete opposite is admittedly incredible. If you look at the before and after photos side by side, you can't tell it's the same person at all. And I would think that would be the ultimate wish fulfillment for any autogynephile. Hopefully, Bassett is just so satisfied with the new person 'she' has become, that she sees no need to broadcast any kind of virtue signal, and simply wants to continue making hot and sweaty action movies inspired by the beauty of the female form.
You missed this little tidbit from the official Dynamite Comics Red Sonja Instagram. Looks like there's going to be a gladiator arena scene!

I just watched "Revenge" to see Matilda Lutz's action chops. She's got them.
She's also magnetic throughout the entire movie, evolving from sexy starlet to damsel in distress to hot action heroine.
She's not the most voluptuous actress around, but definitely qualified to play Red Sonja in terms of talent and looks.
