Normally when I say “Rose McGowan was in a big hit”, you think maybe it was a movie or TV show. You might be thinking Charmed. But as it turns out, it took on a whole new meaning on the set of Red Sonja–a literal one.
“I had wrist and elbow surgery and they took part of my elbow out. I had really bad nerve damage from doing stunts – I do a lot of my own stunts,” McGowan recently told Tarts. “I could no longer use my arm, but now I can hold a fork and drive so we’re working our way up. It’ll probably be another six months of rehab, but It’s the price you pay for being really limber and being able to do back flips!”
I just READ about that and it’s enough to make my arm hurt. I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like for her. It’s especially strange, though, that technically shooting for Red Sonja isn’t slated to begin for a while yet, so how’d she get the injuries on set? Pre-filming training?
We don’t know, but we’ll keep an eye out and let you know when the Red Sonja filming gets back in play.

Fox News reports that Rose McGowan is considering joining the cast of Inferno, the upcoming film about legendary “Deep Throat” star Linda Lovelace.
The film follows the famous pornstar, who, after starring in that most popular of all porn films, became a feminist and testified before Attorney General Ed Meese’s Commission on Pornography in 1986. Lovelace died in 2002 due to a car accident.
Bill Pullman and Josh Lucas have been cast as Hugh Hefner and Linda’s husband Chuck Traynor, respectively, the men who got her into porn.

I announced awhile back that Robert Rodriguez is producing Red Sonjawith Rose McGowan playing the leading lady while Douglas Aarniokoski directs the comic book story.
I like this teaser poster and can’t wait to see the next one as the movie comes into being.

Another movie hits the remake mode, Red Sonja, with Rose McGowan playing the title role. She’s teaming up again with Robert Rodriguez as producer and his cohort Douglas Aarniokoski as director.
McGowan worked with Rodriguez on Planet Terror, so the familiarity of their work ethnic brings Red Sonja comic book story to full potential of a successful franchise.
I am usually not the one for remakes, but considering the earlier version with 
Brigitte Nielsen and Arnold Schwarzenegger, I’m inclined to let this one ride to success.
Red Sonja, which original spelled Sonya, is based on the character created by Robert E. Howard and adapted for Marvel Comics by Roy Thomas. Story begins with a young girl who over comes tragedy to become the most feared woman warrior ever while she seeks vengeance on those who destroyed her family and discovers a larger purpose for her unearthly powers.
