It Had To Be Done - Barbarella Returns!

[Tonguez]

Sin City director Robert Rodriguez is to make a new film version of cult sci-fi classic Barbarella.

Original producer Dino De Laurentiis is in charge of the remake, which is due to be released by Universal next year.

"Barbarella is the ultimate science-fiction adventure heroine - smart, strong and sexy," De Laurentiis said in a statement.

"In our vision, the future is female, and I can't wait to introduce Barbarella to a new generation of moviegoers."

If the cast is superb (not many legit young actresses with D-cup or larger breasts), then I'll get the unrated (quasi NC-17) version on DVD.

Is it possible to do this justice and have it not be porn?

I doubt it.

Barbarella is porn, it is based on an adult comic!

I read the comic compilation and yeah, it's soft porn. And I don't see why they'd bother, Jane Fonda may wish she'd never done the original, but she was perfect for the part. (The character was based on BB, it is a French comic.)

Two words: Keeley Hazel.

But can she act (and I don't mean just the porn way)?

Based on Fonda's performance in the original, I think the bar has been set sufficiently low.

Perhaps, but I'm not looking for someone who can exceed Fonda's original performance. It has to do more. And no, don't hire Pamela Anderson.
