Amber Heard has signed up to replace Rose McGowan in a remake of Brigitte Nielsen's 1985 action film Red Sonja.
The film has been in development for the past five years with directors like Robert Rodriguez and Brett Ratner attached to the project.
Shortly after Rodriguez was linked to the film, a poster of his girlfriend McGowan as Red Sonja hit the Internet, but she has since quit the project, as has the Planet Terror moviemaker.
Now, Con Air and The Mechanic director Simon West is in charge of the film and Heard will lead the cast, according to CinemaBlend.com.
The actress can be seen on the big screen this week as she stars in And Soon The Darkness before teaming up with Nicolas Cage for Drive Angry 3D.
She has also completed work on The Rum Diary with Johnny Depp.
