RED SONJA Out!? RED SONJA In!?

Merrick here...
This news happened over the Holiday weekend...on iPad Day no less...but is still worthy of mulling on this horribly Mondayish morning. Pajiba says there's been a shake-up on the RED SONJA movie, and that the whole of the picture is now being re-shaped.

The broader truth, it seems, is that the previous incarnation of the Red Sonja remake has been scrapped, as some have already speculated. Rose McGowan is off. In fact, it seems that director, Douglas Aarniokoski, is also off the project, and Millineum Films is searching for another writer, someone to take another pass at David N. White’s script. But the project is far from dead. The potentially bigger news, here, however, is that not only is Rose McGowan out, but right now, there’s an offer out to another actress to take the role. That actress? Megan Fox.

...says Pajiba HERE. I'd say: GET HOWARD McCAIN!! He did so well with OUTLANDER (U.S. Blu-Ray finally available HERE, by the way) and the initial development of the CONAN movie was awkward for many folks & he never got the chance he deserved on that project. Put him on this one, wind him up & watch him go! This said, I'm wondering if Megan Fox has the chops to anchor a movie of this nature....
