Rose McGowan Is Red Sonja
Topless Robot —
... I know that the old Red Sonja movie with Brigitte Nielsen is a cult classic, but let's face it—no one set the bar very high on that flick in any level, including sexiness. So now that there's an announcement that Robert Rodriguez of Grindhouse and Sin City will produce a new Sonja flick starring his favorite fuck-doll Rose McGowan (according to USA Today) is cool, but they honestly aren't going to have to try very hard to trump the original.

Somewhat similar to Schwarzenegger's Conan, Red Sonja becomes the master of a sword and goes off an adventure to revenge the evil queen who murdered her family.

Did Red Sonja Kill Barbarella? [Barbarella]

... It turns out that McGowan and Rodriguez were already shopping around another script for her to star in as of last month — a women in prison TV drama called Women In Chains, according to our sister site Defamer. (I wonder if the script has the Pinocchio sex joke that every women-in-prison movie includes.) And Rodriguez is busy directing a family comedy called Shorts.

... McGowan is oh, so very telling of how silly the whole thing was in the first place: Rose McGowan's breakup with her fiancé, director Robert Rodriguez, could be good news for some other actresses, who could end up with the leading roles she was set to play in his movies.
