First Look at Rose McGowan as Red Sonja

Rose McGowan as Red Sonja

Yesterday under the sun here in beautiful San Diego, crowds swarmed into the convention center for day one of Comic-Con 2008. They were treated to plenty of awesome surprises, everything from a trailer for Wolverine to a trailer for Tron 2. And while we expect that today will only bring more surprises, we still have a few loose ends to tie up from yesterday. One in particular was a little panel attended by director Robert Rodriguez and his favorite gal Rose McGowan. They were here to talk about Red Sonja. And while not much was said about the upcoming film, which is still in pre-production, they did show off two brand new posters, the first of which you can see below:

Not only did the folks at First Look Studios send us the one, but also a second teaser poster, showing Rose in a very sexy, totally badass pose:

We have the bright, shining high resolution versions of both, so feel free to give them a click to enlarge. We will have more from the production of Red Sonja as things progress.

What do you think of this first look at Rose McGowan as Red Sonja?

Not only will we be roaming the floor in search of love, but we will have the latest news Live from Hall H, great interviews with some of Hollywood’s hottest stars and random convention shenanigans, courtesy of our Comic-Con Attack Squad!

    She looks kinda 'tarded in that one poster. (the one with the knife lick).
  • Nevernude
    We dont love it!

    Im sorry but after The Dark Knight, my movie going experience is complete! The Dark Knight HAS completed me! Nothing else can match that! So Rodriguez stick red sonja somewhere the sun dont shine!
  • Aleric
    Sorry but Rose McGowan is not Red Sonja. Too old, not busty enough and not toned enough to be the Red Headed Battle Maiden. Also from the posters I can tell they weapons will not be accurate to the REH universe. They seem to forget that the universe that this character is set in is not traditional medieval weapons.

    "she looks kinda 'tarded in that one poster"

    thanks Jeremy M, you just made my day.

    i am NOT looking forward to this at all. and with the exception of planet terror, she cant act her way out of a wet paper bag. rodriguez is one of my top 2 favorite directors (the other being tarantino) but sometimes, his choices are questionable. Since hes not directing, maybe now he can get to work on things people want, like sin city 2 and the DVD release of Machete, with the trailer for a sequel to Planet Terror, which i WILL see.

    lol. MACHETE

    thats a classic. they should have done that instead of deathproof.
    no offence to tarantino. =)

    "Sorry but Rose McGowan is not Red Sonja."

    I have to agree. Please find someone who at least LOOKS like she's spent some time in a
    gym. I guess the only requirement for the role is to be banging the producer.
  • I'm sure she'll be gorgeous as normal, but those pics are so cooked that she doesn't even look like a real person. Personally, I can't wait to see it.
  • Anna
    Tell her to gain some muscle. She is not Red Sonja at all. Very Disappointed. I will not go see it.
  • Mark
    Your ALL stupid. She's not playing the original Sonja. She's the rencarnation of her, a humble girl who with Sonja's memories has to train to fight. Hence that she's not toned! She's playing a humble girl who comes from a background of not knowing how to fight at all! Research some more before you make yourself look like a tool and think you know ALL about Red Sonja, idiots!
