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.

Why? Just why?

Hollywood has become Zombie land eating the dead carcasses of their past glories.

I agree. It’s time to call it quits on Tinseltown.

Many Hollywood liberals are either stupid or misguided. I can forgive that. Jane Fonda is in another category. She is evil (or was evil, if she truly repented).

But my goodness. She was a real beauty in her day.

Doesnt matter.

The girl they have for it doesn’t compare.
Jane Fonda was the ultimate beyond-the-edge of the hot/crazy matrix. The ideal protagonist to keep viewers eyes glued to the train wreck.

In some threads where I have said that I don’t think AOC is attractive, I’ve been accused to disparaging her looks and attractiveness just because I don’t like her politics. Well, I don’t like her politics, but I disagree that I’m biased against her looks because of her politics. I like Jane Fonda’s politics about as well as I like AOC’s, which is to say I loathe them, but I will concede that a young Jane Fonda was quite attractive. She had it going on in a big way.

“Zombie land eating the dead carcasses of their past glories”

Like the music of millenials and Gen-z.

All sounds like stuff from decades ago, other than the negro african chanting and shouting.

Ha, yes. I can’t remember where I put my car keys ten minutes ago. But by golly, I can remember the intro to ‘Barbarella’. It was a zero-gravity strip tease. I don’t even have to look it up. I’m sure of it.

Now, where did I put those keys?

“The Barbarella Remake: Confirmation, Cast & Everything We Know”

Barbarella was basically a ridiculous porno movie with somewhat better production values than the ordinary street garbage porno, so i wonder if the remake will manage to re-create that ridiculous porno ambiance ...

“ Sydney Sweeney as Barbarella?”
Really? I looked at her wiki and dang is she average to below average.
Hate to be one to point out dental flaws, but that girl could eat corn on the cob through a picket fence.

They’ve been recycling stories since the early decades.
