A remake of “Barbarella” has been discussed longer than Paris Hilton’s been out of diapers – 18 months and counting! – and its again back on the drawing board.
Producers Dino and Martha De Laurentiis have completed a rights deal that will allow them to reinvent "Barbarella," and the producers have set "Casino Royale" scribes Neal Purvis and Robert Wade to pen the script, says Variety.
"Barbarella is the ultimate science-fiction adventure heroine: smart, strong funny and sexy," De Laurentiis said. "I'm excited to reintroduce Barbarella to a new generation of moviegoers."
In the original film, Jane Fonda played the title character as a kittenish sexpot. That movie comes off as camp and dated by today's standards.
In the remake, the scribes will make Barbarella a free, modern gal who survives in a futuristic world through her intelligence, fighting skills and sexual.
Drew Barrymore was once touted to play Babs in a remake - - but I’m sure that idea’s gone stale.
