Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man And The Wasp, Ready Player One, upcoming Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City) will take up the sword in Red Sonja for Millennium Films. Casting comes following the attachment of Netflix/Legendary’s upcoming animated Tomb Raider series writer/exec producer, Tasha Huo.
The past few years were thought to have seen some progress with hopeful revival of MGM’s Marvel classic, Red Sonja with the likes of Bryan Singer. That angle appears to be no more with Singer no longer attached to the languishing project that’s been close to a decade in the making and now with news that Jill Soloway (Amazon’s Transparent series) will pen and helm the feature.

Millennium is financing the film as well as producing along with Cinelou’s Mark Canton and Courtney Solomon, in addition to Christa Campbell and Lati Grobman and Red Sonja rights holder Luke Lieberman. Miller is also reportedly penning a draft for 20th Century Fox’s remake of John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China.
Millenium Media and Cinelou Films are fast tracking the project with a new screenwriter now being sought to help construct a brand new story from the IP currently succeeding in print at Dynamite Entertainment; Avi Lerner and Joe Gatta are producing with Mark Canton and Courtney Solomon.
