Millennium has been trying to reboot the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger film for the last 10 years, at one point director Robert Rodriguez and then girlfriend Rose McGowan were attached in 2008. The original made under $7M at the box office Millennium’s Avi Lerner and Joe Gatta are producing with Cinelou’s Mark Canton and Courtney Solomon.
Singer was replaced on Bohemian Rhapsody during its final weeks of shooting by Dexter Fletcher, however, Singer received final directing credit, and reportedly has been involved in editing the film. Singer apparently didn’t show up on set, and claimed that he asked Fox for time off to contend with a parent’s pressing health matter. His departure from Fox came at a time when he was sued by Cesar Sanchez-Guzman in December, who accused the director of raping him when he was a 17-year-old in 2003.
Singer was dropped by his agent WME earlier this year with his attorney David Feldman negotiating the Red Sonja deal. Hollywood Reporter had the news on Singer and Red Sonja.
