It's been revealed today that
Transparent creator Jill Soloway has been hired to write and direct
Red Sonja. The movie had been put on hold following the backlash that led to
X-Men helmer Bryan Singer being fired (as a result of the multiple sexual assault allegations he's faced in recent years).
Soloway has won two directing Emmys for her work on the Amazon series, and it's now clear that Millennium Films are taking the comic book adaptation very seriously given her hiring.
They've been trying to get
Red Sonja off the ground for a good decade now, and Robert Rodriguez was originally attached way back in 2008 when his then girlfriend Rose McGowan was being eyed for the title role. With a female director at the helm, we can more than likely expect the skimpy costume to be replaced with something a little more practical - much to the chagrin of some fans.
Are you guys excited that
Red Sonja is finally starting to come together?
