Nobody that's a fan of the original wanted this. It's likely not to attract new fans because the cheese is part of the appeal. Too many people today just can't appreciate dairy films as simple escapist fantasy. No, everything has to have some deeper message and advance their agenda.

Eh I was a casual fan of the original and I at least want to give this a try.

I've seen too many demakes of perfectly good movies and TV shows and roles given to vile "actors" to give Hollywoke any more chances. I'd sooner not see anything at all from them then see more once-beloved media defiled by hacks.

The Red Sonja remake failed as it was to proud and to full of itself to give us what we wanted. A girl in a metal bikini lopping the heads of wizards. The makers of Red Sonja failed by not understanding what a b-grade fantasy barbarian film should be. Steven Kostanski's films are all absolute bangers. He is one of the best b-movie directors in the world right now. Not only dose he understand b-movies but more importantly he understands what b-movie fans want. The makers of the Red Sonya Remake are about to get a masterclass in "this is how you do it". I can not wait to see this, I would put a bet down with anyone that this movie is going to rock!! Bring it on.
