Sin City Siren Rose McGowan to Wield Sword as Pulp Sexbomb Red Sonja. But Will She Bare Her Barbarian Boobies?


The San Diego Comic-Con continues to be a hotbed of breaking T&A-list showbiz news.

Slash Film reports that Rose McGowan has been announced to bodaciously fill the breastplate of the lead role in Red Sonja, a new epic produced by her ex-boyfriend, Robert Rodriguez (Desperado, Planet Terror).

Red Sonja herself is a hefty-mammaried medieval warrior and ass-stomping pal of Conan the Barbarian.

The flame-maned slayer became popular in classic pulp novels and comic books, where she was billed as “She-Devil with a Sword,” and mastered the fine art of modeling a chain-mail bikini.

Brigitte Nielsen initially took up the Red Sonja mantle in a 1985 movie adaptation, which may explain the origin of Flavor Flav's viking-hat fetish.

Shots of Rose McGowan clad in the character's clanky get-up appeared at Comic-Con, in addition to a pair of Red Sonja postersone of which continues a sexy-bloody-lips trend that Mr. Skin reported on yesterday.
