Italian actress Mathilde Lutz will star in Red Sonja, a film set in a distant and fictional era of the Conan the Barbarian stories.
Based on the sword and sorcery comic of the same name published by Dynamite Entertainment, Red Sonja is based on a heroine created by Robert E. Howard and adapted by Roy Thomas. Although the character is billed as a formidable warrior with excellent swordsmanship, details of the film adaptation’s plot are still being kept under wraps.
