 "Grindhouse" and "Charmed" famed Rose McGowan is set to create sensation on the big screen as the scarlet-haired sword stress Red Sonja in a forthcoming movie that is being produced by her "Grindhouse" director and husband Robert Rodriguez.
Last night during the Broadway premiere of Jane Fonda 's "33 Variations" McGowan, who has never been afraid to get physical for her roles, told the reporters of a popular news magazine that she will be back in action soon to make preparation for the part after being sidelined by a trip of the operating room.
"I just had a big surgery on my elbow and on my wrist, so I can start my training again," added Rose.
The character was previously portrayed by Brigitte Nielsen in the 1985 sword and sorcery action film, titled "Red Sonja." The film co-starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was still riding high on the movie trail that he blazed with his role as Conan the Barbarian.
According to McGowan, years of on-set bravery is what sent her to go under the knife. However she brushes off her setback as a typical work hazard and "just damage from doing my own stunts."
"I do about 98 percent of them, which often results in injuries," admitted McGowan.
She even cracked a joke about the medieval process that the doctors used to get her back to work.
Rose continued, "They took some bone out. I actually asked if it was with a little saw and he said it was actually a chisel and a hammer. Modern times," she laughed. "Now I'm good. In about a month of more arm rehab, I'm ready to go."
"Red Sonja" is scheduled to be released sometime during the next year.
