Robert Rodriguez Does Barbarella

Barbarella: Queen of the GalaxyRobert Rodriguez has signed to direct the remake of Barbarella, which is being produced by Dino De Laurentiis. Rodriguez said “Dino De Laurentiis came to me and said, Barbarella‘is a world where you are completely free to unleash all your fantasies, creativity and imagination-where the possibilities are limitless.’ I love this iconic character and all that she represents, and I’m truly excited by the challenge of inviting a new audience into her universe.”

De Laurentiis says “Barbarella is the ultimate science-fiction adventure heroine: smart, strong and sexy. In our vision, the future is female, and I can’t wait to introduce Barbarella to a new generation of moviegoers.”

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram.

    I remember seeing Barbarella in a movie theatre when I was a kid. I was a bit young for it and thought it was bizarre. It will be in interesting to compare the old and new versions.

  2. I’ve ALWAYS said the world needed a remake of Barbarella – NOT!

  3. Alpha-Girl says:

    I’ve never seen the whole thing, just the opening credits when I wandered out my room one night for a glass of water.

    The original is kind of wonderful in that camp, self-mocking 1960s way – cheesy but knowingly so. Not quite sure how you’d remake that today without it just seeming … wrong!

  5. Alpha-Girl says:

    It will probably have a different overall tone, but still manage to be campy and fun. I have faith in Robert Rodriguez for that.

  6. Teresa says:

    Uh…I thought this was a crappy movie the FIRST time. But I like Robert Rodriguez…especially after Planet Terror. So, we’ll see.
