Rose McGowan

I find the following info a bit odd. I thought the producers of CONAN reboot were going to also make RED SONJA after they’re done with CONAN and as some of us know, Rose McGowan has been attached to RED SONJA for the longest time now. But now this info comes along that got me scratching my head, confused..

Variety said hottie McGowan has joined the cast of CONAN starring Jason Momoa, directed by Marcus Nispel.
Her role in the movie.. an evil half-human/half-witch.
So ya.. that doesn’t sound like RED SONJA, does it?!..

The report keeps stating that CONAN reboot is based on Robert E. Howard’s books when clearly Rama’s SCREEN reader, my go-to source when it comes to everything Robert E. Howard, Amra The Lion said numerous times that Nispel’s take is nowhere faithful to the books at all, it’s just another Hollywood version.
McGowan said last August that she’s hoping RED SONJA would start filming sometime in 2010, which she hopes will follow CONAN, because she’s still contracted to do the project, which will not be a remake of the 1985 movie starring Briggite Nielsen, in fact it will be an origin story and is based on the original Marvel comic book heroine created by Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith in 1973 although the beautiful sexy she-devil sword warrior was inspired by a short story by Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan.

In the new CONAN, Jason Momoa is the new Cimmerian fighter, Rachel Nichols as Tamara, Stephen Lang as the villain Khalar Singh, Bob Sapp as Ukafa and Leo Howard as young Conan, Said Taghmoaui is a leader of thieves, Conan’s friend.
Sean Hood was hired to rewrite the script, the story will have Conan embark on a quest to avenge the slaughter of his people including his father
Filming began Monday at Nu Boyana Studios in Sofia, Bulgaria
