Bryan Singer May Direct The Red Sonja Movie For Millennium
2 minutes ago
While Red Sonja may not be one of the more well-known comic book characters, she does have the distinction of having already led her own movie. 12 years after she debuted in the pages of 1973's Conan the Barbarian #23 at Marvel Comics, the character was played by Brigette Nielsen on the big screen, and since the start of the decade, there have been numerous attempts to get Red Sonja back in theaters. The latest update is that X-Men director Bryan Singer is being eyed to direct the Red Sonja reboot for Millennium Pictures.
Nearly a year after Millennium announced its renewed efforts to finance and produce a new Red Sonja movie, THR dropped the news that Bryan Singer is in negotiations to helm this big return. Sources who spoke to the outlet said Millennium is would pay Singer "top dollar" for this job, and it is described as a "step toward rehabilitating the director's image" following the controversy that's surrounded him. Of course, Singer already has plenty of experience when it comes to comic book adaptations, as he's directed four of the main X-Men movies and Superman Returns.
