Megan Fox‘s personal publicist told Moviefone.com that the rumors that Fox would star in the upcoming reboot of Red Sonja  is “not true.”  So much for that!

Word is that Megan Fox has been offered the title role in the long developing Red Sonja remake. Apparently Rose McGowan was previously attached to the movie, but the role might go to our girl in the end.

According to Pajiba, Fox has been offered the lead in the movie about the sword-carrying heroine. The remake has been in development for a few years with the last major attachments being producer Robert Rodriguez and director Douglas Aarniokoski, back when McGowan was set to star.

Nothing has been confirmed, but things look hopeful. The story is supposed to center on “an innocent teenager who metamorphosizes into an unparalleled warrior.” Sounds more like a role for Megan than any actress I can think of off hand.

This would be a huge role and opportunity for Megan. Fingers crossed!
