A redhead with fuckin' great big...

... swords. I'll never ask for more than that from life and it appears that someone has listened to some extent.

Forgetting the rather lame 1985 Red Sonja pic, starring Brigitte Nielson and Arnold Schwarzenegger, which was released by MGM to dismal box-office numbers; last year, Dynamite Entertainment launched a new Red Sonja series that has gone on to be one of the best-selling indie comic books on the market.

Noting it's success: Avi Lerner and Danny Dimbort's Millennium Fims and Emmett/Furla Films have picked up the film rights for a new Red Sonja film to bring her back to the big screen.

Millennium will finance and produce the movie with Emmett/Furla. The project's budget is north of $25 million. Red Sonja, created by sword-and-sorcery legend Robert E. "Conan the Barbarian" Howard, was introduced into Marvel's Conan the Barbarian comics in 1973 and soon was given her own title.

    Have to admit theres something about a woman in skimpy armour with a large sword (ignoring the fact most women would be unable to move with that lot on)!

    Colonel, you misunderstand the question,

    I thought that a seasoned vetern of many a risk campaign such as yourself would admit respecting Mr. Norris but to come out of the closet and admit fearing Mr. Norris!.
    Bravo.

    This "truth" you speak of. It's indigenous only to your reality isn't it?
