Bryan Singer has been officially removed from Millennium Film’s Red Sonja, following reports of sexual assault and misconduct. The project is now being led by Transparent creator Jill Soloway, who looks to be the first nonbinary writer and director of a major comic book film.
Ser ut som om det börjar röra på sig igen i Red Sonja-projektet, ser fram emot att se vad vad den här nya “ambitiösa versionen” av Red Sonja innebär.
»Soloway is said to be coming in with a "bold new take," and it speaks volumes that the production company behind the movie, Millennium Films, has gone 180 degrees away from its previous choice and hired an acclaimed nonbinary creator to shepherd the powerful woman warrior to the screen. Studios are reportedly already interested in partnering with Millennium on the picture.« – [Källa]
Föga förvånande handlade det om pengar dessutom att Singer slutligen fick sparken (och inte hans synbarligen taffliga arbetsmoral/-etik):
»After halting production a short time later, reports circulated in March that Singer had been removed from the film, suggesting it was because the studio was unable to secure a domestic distributor so long as Singer was involved.« – [Källa]
Nåväl. Filmen Red Sonja är en 80-tals klassiker som jag återkommer till med jämna mellanrum. Så jag fortsätter följa det här projektet med intresse.
