ROBERT RODRIGUEZ DOES "BARBARELLA"

Variety has announced that Planet Terror auteur Robert Rodriguez will team with Casino Royale screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade on a remake of the 1968 sexy-space film Barbarella for a 2008 release.

Barbarella
was based on a French comic book which debuted in 1961.

Producer Dino De Laurentiis hinted at the flavor of the remake: "In our vision, the future is female, and I can't wait to introduce
Barbarella to a new generation of moviegoers," he said.

Neither can I, Dino, neither can I.

It would be interesting which one of Robert's ladies will play the title role (Rose, Jessica, Salma, Carla, Rosario, or Marley), or will it be someone completely new?
