Exclusive Interview with 'Red Sonja' Director MJ Bassett & Star Matilda Lutz 🎬

Known in some circles as "The She-Devil with a Sword," author Robert E. Howard's "Red Sonja" has been adapted from his novels into comics and, until recently, only one theatrical title. Director MJ Bassett has changed this with her Matilda Lutz-led adaptation, titled "Red Sonja," that released in theaters for one-night only on August 13th and is set for a VOD release on August 29th, unleashing a new tale with the Hyborian Age for audiences to experience. <br /><br />Sitting down with EoM Contributor AJ Friar, Bassett and Lutz discuss how they each became attached to the project, how practical effects impacted the process, and a great deal more in this brief conversation. <br /><br />Official Summary: <br /><br />Captured. Chained. Forced to fight for survival. Red Sonja must battle her way through the blood-soaked pits of a tyrant’s empire and rally an army of outcasts to reclaim her freedom and take down Dragan and his ruthless bride, Dark Annisia. <br /><br />Available on VOD August 29th, 2025. <br /><br />Official Trailer: https://youtu.be/-Oqql6RErHc <br /><br />Directed By: MJ Bassett <br />Written By: Tasha Huo <br />Cast: Matilda Lutz, Martyn Ford, Robert Sheehan, Wallis Day, Michael Bisping, Philip Winchester, Trevor Eve, Luca Pasqualino, Rhona Mitra, Sofia Weldon
