Barbarella" is getting a new lease on life courtesy of producer Dino De Laurentiis.
The veteran Italian filmmaker, who turns 90 on Saturday, is developing a remake of his original 1968 sci-fi movie, which immortalized Jane Fonda as a sex symbol.
Australian filmmaker Robert Luketic ("The Ugly Truth") is attached to direct from a screenplay to be written by Joe Gazzam.
Robert Rodriguez was previously involved with the project, when it was set up at Universal in May 2007, with an eye to making it a vehicle for his girlfriend Rose McGowan. But the studio and director reportedly could not agree on where to shoot. After the parting of ways, a new direction for "Barbarella" was sought.

I want to be casted in the role of "Duran Duran". Rumors has it that Sienna Miller will be tapped for the lead role, although I think it should go to Scarlet Johanson.

All I wanna know is if Jane Fonda shows up, can we Vets still spit on her?

High point of Jane's career.
To: Perdogg
Will someone please sedate Mr. Rodriguez and get him away from Rose McGowan? She’s his choice for the lead in two movies now - I just read he wants to remake “Red Sonia” with her as the lead. Good heaven, save me.

She may be a commie bitch, but she was very very attractive in that movie. Doesn’t excuse what she did, but the truth is she was very pretty in that movie.

Nothing spells “Boffo Box-Office” like android pornography.

Another low budget Scifi flick. First one was strange indeed.

ScarJo is actually perfect for this role. All boobs, no brains, pretty much like Fonda in her day. And now.
Duran Duran... Joe Montenga, hands down:
Pygar: Eric Dane or Ryan Reynolds
Dildano: Luke Wilson
The Great Tyrant: Angelina Jolie, hands down
Professor Ping: Gene Wilder

Quit thinkin’ with your *you know what*...LOL!
Pretty IS as pretty DOES. You can be gorgeous outside and rotten inside. And she is. I don’t care if she ‘found Jesus.’ Oh, wait, that was about ten years ago when Ted Turner (also a kookburger) was dumpin’ her sorry arse, LOL!
I wish nothing but ill upon this commie-lovin’ she-devil.
Now, back to the topic at hand... :)

Well, it’s been a long time since I had to p*ss standing up, but I think I could still muster the needed bladder pressure in her case, LOL!

I agree. Sienna Miller has no curves for this movie.

And Jane was indeed curvy as Barbarella. I love the movie. Pure 60s camp at its best. Even the soundtrack was good. I even named a cat Pygar.

Perfect for a Jane Fonda role: Both have big boobs and both are dedicated marxist.
