rindhouse star Rose McGowan and her director boyfriend are set to revive Brigitte Nielsen's Red Sonja in a new movie.

The actress and Robert Rodriguez have confirmed they're planning a major remake of the 1985 big screen adaptation of the comic book series, in which Nielsen played a bikini-clad, sword-wielding barbarian vixen.

And even McGowan, who played a one-legged zombie killer in Rodriguez's Planet Terror Grindhouse film, admits she's surprised the Red Sonja role is hers.

The script was sent to her and she admits she had no idea why she had been selected to play the new Sonja.

She tells USA Today newspaper, "I thought it was funny. I do have a body made for sitting on a veranda with mint juleps and a parasol. I don't know why I always have to save the planet."

But Rodriguez insists his partner is perfect for the role: "Rose is a pistol. She's whip-smart, has attitude to burn, is sexy, extremely strong, yet has a vulnerable side that would surprise her closest friends. That description also fits Red Sonja."

The scuttlebutt is that Rodriguez has been shopping around McGowan for damn near every project he's shown an interest in. I think I heard somewhere he pulled out of the Barbarella remake because the producers didn't want her.

Smitten or p-whipped? You decide.

Did she steal Corey Haim's Lost Boys hair for that shot?

Man, Brigitte was so Amazonian and cool back in the 80s. Now she looks like a mummy. -_-;;
