Rose McGowan’s Severe Injury Is What Shut Down ‘Red Sonja’?


rosemcgowanJust a few days ago, we told you about Rose McGowan taking to twitter to let fans know that she’s still contracted to play ‘Red Sonja’  and the reason the project had been delayed was due to “Major personal & private reasons”.

Little did we know that ‘Red Sonja’ had actually been in production back then and Rose was injured on the set while performing her own stunts

Rose recently spoke with Fox and said:

“I had wrist and elbow surgery and they took part of my elbow out. I had really bad nerve damage from doing stunts – I do a lot of my own stunts, I could no longer use my arm, but now I can hold a fork and drive so we’re working our way up. It’ll probably be another six months of rehab, but It’s the price you pay for being really limber and being able to do back flips!”
