Maybe Red will be wearing stilletos.
She is still listed in preproduction for Red Sonja.

A hollywood actress dating a producer/director and then she starts showing up in all his movies? No way.
Red Sonja? Blarf. There are other great action novels that could be made into movies but Hollywood has taken recycling way too far.
I’d rather see a movie/miniseries on Miles Vorkosigan, Honor Harrington and Kris Longknife.

That’s the cinematographer’s job. And they’re good at it. Most of Hollywood is pretty short, but how many times in a movie or preview have you ever seen anyone look taller than Tom Cruise? Appleboxes, short co-cast members and some up angle photography 5’4” can look like 7 feet, 6’1” is a gimme.
The Birds, Friday the 13th, Creepshow, TRON, Footloose, Revenge of the Nerds, Rosemary's Baby. Not to mention all the TV shows they are making into movies, A-Team, Dallas, Good Times, Smurfs. It's like they just gave up trying to think of new ideas.
They either remake classic films and ruin them, or remake junk and make it junkier.

She was the hot one in the Charmed TV series and has done a number of medium to small movies or bit parts in larger ones.
I wouldn’t call Red Sonja a “classic”, it’s an ok, fun movie. In my opinion, for what it’s worth, Rose McGowan should be in every movie.
I heard Jessica Alba was doing Barbarella
Rose is also the co-host, along with Robert Osborne, of “The Essentials” on Turner Classic Movies. She’s not your typical TinselTown airhead. The girl knows and appreciates her classic movies.
They always did a lot of work in Get Smart to make Don Adams (5’8”) look taller than Barbara Feldon (5’9”).
I’d like to see TRON remade. You’ll see the then-advanced computer graphics of the old one next to what we can do now. Then remake it in another 25 years to show how primitive our current state of the art is.
Oh heavens, don’t let Hollywood within 10 light years of Vorkosigan! They’d make Miles six feet tall and give him a romantic limp. 10 to 1 they’d ditch Quinn, shack him up with Bel, and we’d be lucky if it was less than 90% action sequences.
Honor Harrington, on the other hand, just might survive intact. I’d actually like to see that....
According to Page Six, Rose split up with her director boyfriend, whose marriage she broke up, because he couldn’t finance the films with her as the lead.
