News > "Barbarella" to get the remake treatment

Via Variety:

Man, Jane Fonda was hot back in the day. Anyways, producers Din and Martha De Laurentiis just grabbed the rights to the classic 1968 Jane Fonda flick "Barbarella" and have hired Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (both wrote "Casino Royale") to write the script.

De Laurentiis produced the original flick and just regained film rights from the rights holder, Julien Forest, the son of the Frenchman who made the original "Barbarella" comic book.

Sci-Fi, action, adventure, you can call it whatever you'd like. But for those who have seen the original "Barbarella," you'll know the flick was an excuse to show hot chicks in next to nothing, if not nothing. The most memorable scene from the film is when Jane Fonda gets into her zero grav chamber and strips down to…well nothing.

Who should play Barbarella? Jane Fonda, of course! Kidding. The early rumors are Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel - but we highly doubt any of those three would do it. Actually, maybe Lohan. We'd like to see Scarlett though. Take a look at this pic, she's got Barbarella written all over her:
