The latest Hollywood remake news is that British import Kate Beckinsale is in the running for the totally unnecessary (but they’re gonna do it anyway) remake of “Barbarella”, a role originally assayed by a pre-hippie Jane Fonda and based on the comic books by Jean-Claude Forest. This news comes courtesy of Moviehole, who points out that last week Sienna Miller was supposed to be the frontrunner for the role. Can I see Kate as Barbarella? Hell yeah, especially very lightly dressed.
The original comics had Barbarella as a young woman who has numerous adventures, often involving sex, while journeying around the galaxy. Hey, if you gotta journey around the galaxy, why not have a lot of sex doing it?
Kate Beckinsale as Barbarella?
