Rose McGowan Severely Injured Filming Red Sonja

Rose McGowan was seriously injured filming for fiancé Robert Rodriguez‘s movie remake of the comic book franchise Red Sonja, the actress has revealed. McGowan suffered severe injuries to her elbow and wrist while filming stunts for Red Sonja. As a result of her injuries, the film has been placed on indefinite hiatus.

In an interview with FoxNews.com, Rose McGowan dishes on how an injury on the set brought production of Red Sonja to a standstill. While doing a stunt for the movie, McGowan did some serious damage to her arm. The injury was serious enough to require surgery to remove part of her elbow.

The actress reportedly endured nerve damage severe enough that her arm was virtually useless. Only now, she says, is she regaining the ability to eat and drive with the injured limb and faces another six months of physical rehab.

The Grindhouse and Charmed star was previously injured in a car accident in 2007. McGowan was slashed in the face during the wreck and needed plastic surgery to repair the damage.

McGowan’s starring role in the Red Sonja movie remake was announced way back in June, 2008. However, repeated delays have left fans questioning whether the film will ever make it to theaters. McGowan posted a Twitter update on Red Sonja  saying she is still contracted to star in the movie, but filming would be delayed until 2010.
