“To see my people again is all I dreamed of…” She must fight to return home! Goldwyn Films has debuted a behind-the-scenes promo featurette for the new Red Sonja fantasy action movie, based on the famous Red Sonja “She-Devil with a sword” character which was featured in Marvel Comics during the 1970s. There was already a famous Red Sonja movie from 1985 featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Brigitte Nielsen as Red Sonja. This action-packed new adaptation will be released in theaters this August. Enslaved by an evil tyrant who wishes to destroy her people, barbarian huntress Red Sonja must unite a group of unlikely warriors to face off against Draygan The Magnificent. Directed by action filmmaker M.J. Bassett, this new Red Sonja stars Matilda Lutz (from the thriller Revenge) as the title character, with Wallis Day as Annisia, Robert Sheehan as Draygan, Michael Bisping, Martyn Ford, Eliza Matengu, Rhona Mitra, and Veronica Ferres. They clearly spent a ton of movie making this new Red Sonja movie – huge sets, full-on costumes, tons of actors & extras. At least it seems like many of the epic fight scenes were shot practical & look intense.
Here’s the behind-the-scenes promo (+ the UK trailer) for M.J. Bassett’s Red Sonja, direct from YouTube:
