A remake of the 1960s cult classic Barbarella is currently in the works with Sydney Sweeney set to star, and there are already a ton of exciting updates about the new movie. Based on the French comic series by artist Jean-Claude Forest, 1968's Barbarella stars Jane Fonda as the titular space traveler who is dispatched on a dangerous mission to find the evil scientist Durand Durand who has created a weapon that could destroy all humanity. Though not as famous as contemporaries like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barbarella helped shape the face of science fiction for decades to come.

I can’t remember my telephone number, but I too remember that movie. She certainly was a looker.

Soft core porn, no? Did it really have any cultural impact prior to Austin powers?

She was in Easy Rider during the New Orleans Mardi Gras acid trip scene towards the end of the movie.

I agree, Sydney is an attractive young lady but hardly a head turner.
But that won’t be the reason this movie flips.
This is a much more permissive society than it was back in the sixties and seeing a semi nude woman is ho-hum and not as risque as when Fonda tantalized the male audience back then
Plus there’s plenty of nude pics of her from that TV series she does.
This will be a dud.

I don’t think Sydney Sweeney has the gravitas and subtlety of expression to pull off Barbarella.

Sydney Sweeney will be naked in the film.
There are 2 reasons the producers wanted her in the move.
Keep abreast of the news about the movie.

“Electric Barbarella”
by Duran Duran
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YuX4-3M1d4&ab_channel=DuranDuran-Topic

Lyrics:

I knew when I first saw you on the showroom floor
You were made for me
I took you home and dressed you up in polyester
Princess of my dreams
Emotionless and cold as ice
All of the things I like
The way you look
The way you move
The sound you’re making
In ultra-chrome, latex and steel

I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
Plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist
Then we touch
Hallucinate and tranquilize

She’s so fine
She’s all mine

Our private life is subject to investigation
No time to waste
People say they heard about our deviation
But you never looked so good
Wear the fake fur and fake pearls for me
And put on your mystery
The way I feel you know
I’ll never keep you waiting
In ultra-chrome, latex and steel

I plug you in
Dim the lights
Electric Barbarella
Your perfect skin
Plastic kiss
Electric Barbarella
Try to resist
Then we touch
Hallucinate and tranquilize

Princess of my dreams
Princess of my dreams
Major domo plasticomo Barbarella
(She’s so fine)
Pro-genetic you Electric Barbarella
(She’s all mine)
My pretty pretty pretty pretty Barbarella

While I don’t consider her “goddess” level beauty like Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Barbie Benton etc.
I will admit she’s all natural, unlike most of Hollywood today!
