After spending more time in development hell than most video game sequels, Red Sonja has finally hacked her way back to the big screen! The first trailer is here, and it’s everything you didn’t know you missed from early 2000s fantasy cinema.
Matilda Lutz stars as the flame-haired warrior who gets captured, chained, and immediately starts stabbing her way through the plot like it owes her money. There’s blood! There’s rebellion! There’s armor that protects absolutely nothing! There’s even a wand that suspiciously looks like a LED flashlight around the 60-second mark!
Does it look epic? Sort of. Does it look like it escaped from a 2001 DVD bargain bin? Definitely. Are we going to watch it anyway? Oh, absolutely.
Red Sonja hits theaters August 15 and digital August 29.
