It looks like X-Men helmer Bryan Singer may be looking at a come back… with another comic book property.
Word on the nerdsphere is that Singer is setting his sights on the Conan The Barbarian comic spinoff, Red Sonja with X-Men: First Class’ Ashley Miller penning the script.
Last we heard was last November that the property may be getting a reboot (here) with the last big psh was years ago when Rose McGowan was attached to star in a reboot from Robert Rodriquez and, while it seems that movie was well into pre-production, it just never happened.
It’s likely the recent bout of female-centric tales (more Wonder Woman, less ghostbusters, we’d imagine) is at the core of this new push to get the character onscreen.
According to the report: “Sources say Millennium will pay Singer top dollar for the assignment… Singer is set to receive full directing credit, and the movie is now generating strong buzz inside and outside the studio.”
So, what say you all? Is it time to welcome Singer back? Let us know…
