Barbarella Lives Again
Romeo's a big fan of the
campy, sexy 1968 Jane Fonda sci-fi adventure, Barbarella, which
features the feminist screen icon as a scantily clad astronaut who saves
the universe with her seductive wiles and a generous helping of
cleavage.
There's
been a lot of talk in recent years about remaking the movie - Drew
Barrymore's name was bandied about to star in several proposed
productions - but it looks like it's finally going to happen, with
Grindhouse co-director Robert Rodriguez at the helm.
Since Rodriguez is no stranger to take-no-prisoners leading ladies, he
should be the perfect choice for this fabulous femme fatale.
Barbarella is set to land in theaters throughout the galaxy in
2008.
