‘Red Sonja’ Sets Release Date; New Trailer Online
by Erik Amaya
It took a moment, but Red Sonja is ready for her big-screen return.
Samuel Goldwyn Films announced Thursday that the film will debut in theaters on August 15th with a digital debut set for the 29th of that same month. Matilda Lutz stars as the She-Devil with a Sword while Robert Sheehan and Martyn Ford join her (or oppose her) for the latest cinematic outing from director MJ Bassett. Per the Goldwyn press release, Sonja must “battle her way through the blood-soaked pits of a tyrant’s empire and rally an army of outcasts to reclaim her freedom and take down Dragan and his ruthless bride, Dark Annisia.”
And as seen in the trailer above, that battle for freedom will be quite the revolution.
In statement, producer said, “We’re beyond thrilled to announce the release of Red Sonja alongside our partners at Samuel Goldwyn Films. It’s been an incredible journey bringing this iconic character to life, and director MJ Bassett and star Matilda Lutz have crafted an unforgettable filmic adaptation of her story. We can’t wait for audiences to experience the power and excitement of Red Sonja on the big screen!”
Additionally, Lutz, Sheehan, and Ford will appear at Comic-Con International: San Diego on July 24th at 5:30pm PT in Ballroom 20 to discuss the film.
