Matilda Lutz was 'nervous' in her 'Red Sonja' chainmail bikini. Then she owned it.
SAN DIEGO – Red Sonja has evolved a lot as a character since the days of the 1970s comic books and that unfortunate 1985 Brigitte Nielsen movie. Not everything has changed, though: The 'She Devil with a Sword' is still rocking her chainmail bikini armor. The trailer for the new fantasy action film 'Red Sonja" (in theaters Aug. 15 and video on demand Aug. 29), starring Italian actress Matilda Lutz as the title character, even hints to its impracticality, tongue fully in cheek. Sonja is trying to obtain some protection for battle and an armorer shows off what will become her signature wear. 'And that protects …?' she asks, dumbfounded, before he answers, 'Nothing. The crowd will love it,' followed by a faux sexy shimmy. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox 'I was obviously a bit nervous about being so exposed on set in a chainmail bikini,' Lutz tells USA TODAY before the 'Red Sonja' panel at Comic-Con, the San Diego pop-culture festival. But she also felt it was utilized 'in such a smart way' in the context of the movie. Directed by M.J. Bassett, 'Red Sonja' centers on the title character, chained but fearless, battling through obstacles thrown her way by Emperor Dragan (Robert Sheehan). She forms an army of warrior outcasts to take on the tyrant and his ruthless bride, Dark Annisia (Wallis Day), and win their freedom. The chainmail bikini 'is used as an element of power that the emperor has over her, like a violence that he's doing to her. But then she owns it,' Lutz says. 'It was so liberating to use exposure and vulnerability that you have doing fights in a chainmail bikini, but you're fighting against these soldiers with big armor and you're still winning. It was so fun to do that.' Before she got the script and auditioned, Lutz didn't know a lot about Red Sonja, based on the crimson-haired warrior Red Sonja of Rogatino from Robert E. Howard's 1934 short story 'The Shadow of the Vulture.' But Lutz fell hard for her. 'She was everything I wanted in one character: fierce, raw, untamed, badass, but also vulnerable and full of humanity,' says the actress, who's starred in Coralie Fargeat's survival horror movie 'Revenge,' the Justin Timberlake crime drama "Reptile" and the Daisy Ridley thriller "Magpie." Lutz began reading the modern comics that dug into Red Sonja's backstory and fleshed out her persona, and sees this film as "the tip of the evolvement of this character," she says. 'The one thing that really stood out from the comics to me was that she was a warrior but she was also a survivor. "The question was like, 'She's lost everything, but what is she willing to do for others?' She kept going. And that's what I wanted to bring to the film.'

Q&A with Adam Sandler, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald from 'Happy Gilmore 2'
'Happy Gilmore 2' is streaming live on Netflix today, July 25, and the anticipation for the sequel has been at a fever pitch, ever since the Adam Sandler project was announced. In the sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind after a tragic accident years ago. When he needs to raise $300,000 to send his daughter Vienna (Sunny Sandler) to a prestigious ballet school in Paris, Happy hits the links again, where he runs into old pal Shooter (and his celebratory finger guns). Happy also has to save traditional golf when an energy drink mogul (Benny Safdie) tries to popularize a more extreme version of the sport. Our friends at USA Today caught up with the trio in advance of the release and asked a few questions of stars Adam Sandler (Gilmore), Julie Bowen (Virginia Venit) and Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin). Q: Adam, it takes Happy a few holes to get his signature swing back. How about you in real life? Sandler: I didn't practice at all before the movie. I don't know why. And then I was like, "Oh, yeah, how's this go again?" And then it came back pretty quick. The beauty of the movie is you can swing and miss and then they say, "OK, let's do another take." We got a few chances to get it right. Julie and Chris, this movie is packed with cameos. Who were your favorites to see walk on set? Sandler: None of them would talk to Julie. Bowen: Also, my trailer was a mile away from set. McDonald: By design. Bowen: The call sheet was coded. It did not have anybody's names on it and there were 135 different cast members. I was flying back and forth because I still have kids in school in California and we shot in New Jersey. I would see Polaroids in the hair and makeup trailer and I saw a person that no one's mentioned yet. And I'm like, "When was he here?!" "He's Newscaster No. 4." And I'm like, "Are you kidding me?" More: This breakdown of Happy Gilmore's incredible golf swing is something to behold Sandler: Bubba Watson. You loved your Bubba. Julie knows her golf, by the way. McDonald: He's a good man, Bubba Watson. I have known a few of these golf legends and legends-in-training. But seeing them one-on-one, it's like: "Oh, my God, that's Rory McIlroy. That's Bryson DeChambeau. That's Scottie Scheffler." It was mind-blowing for me. And I came in on my days off just to hang out with them. Sandler: They all love seeing Shooter. Adam, both your daughters and wife are in the sequel. What does it mean to you to have these kinds of movies that you used to make with your friends now become part of this bigger family legacy? Sandler: It is just all happening fast. Kids are growing up − they really are into acting and movies, and it's always been our thing to work with our friends and family. It's cool to see them getting better. They work hard and they go to school for it, and they love it. So, yeah, I'm just proud. Couldn't love them more. Was there anything from the first movie that you all used in the new movie? Bowen: I got my hair back. Was that your OG jersey? Sandler: I got a different size (laughs). The hockey jersey went from a medium to a something. There were a couple Xs in there. The real grandpa's clubs (from the first film) are in the movie. Bowen: Finger guns? McDonald: I brought the kids out. Chris, how many times in a week do people do the finger guns to you? McDonald: Well, it depends on where I am. Airports, 4,000. Walking the city streets of New York, 9,000. It seems like it's every day when I'm out in public. It's really cool. People are kind enough just to go, "Shootah!" and we have a good laugh. The fans are what keeps this classic going. So I have no problems at all pulling out the guns when necessary.
