The fantasy project – based on the Dynamite Entertainment sword and sorcery comic book – now appears to be back on track for Millennium, where it has been in the works for a decade. Soloway (Transparent) was announced as screenwriter and director in 2019, replacing Bryan Singer, who was discharged after an investigative report on the filmmaker in The Atlantic.
The film’s cast should start immediately.
“I loved Red Sonja forever and I feel very honored to help follow your story and start this cinematic journey. There couldn’t be a better time in our world to Red SonjaThe ways to exercise power and its connection with nature and our planet, “said Soloway.” She is an ancient heroine with an epic vocation, and translating that to the screen is a dream come true for me as a filmmaker. I can’t wait to collaborate with Tasha on this vision. “
Millennium co-chairman Jonathan Younger added: “We are very excited to bring Red Sonja for the market and for the world. This is taking too long. Having Joey Soloway in charge of this feminist icon franchise is the perfect recipe for a magical adventure, which is exactly what the world needs today. “
