Okay, so there have been plenty of rumors flying around for the past couple years about the remake of Barbarella set for release in 2010. First, it was Lindsay Lohan vying for the spot after making Georgia Rule with Jane Fonda, then we heard that Rose McGowan was set to star alluding to more nepotism from potential director Robert Rodriguez. Now, Perez Hilton, a highly credible source*, is saying that both Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox are vying for the title role.
Now, having seen Barbarella and appreciating the cult film more then your average 23 year old female, I have to say, I would prefer none of these women for the role. I know that Hollywood doesn't exactly work on the whole "creating a star from an unknown" the way they did in it's glory days, but that was part of what made Barbarella so great!
No offense ladies, but I would love to see a fresh face embracing the title role, creating the character the way Jane Fonda did. If any of these women take on the role, it'll be ____________(enter starlet name) playing Barbarella. All of these women have become tabloid fodder and although I cannot prevent them from remaking a classic cult film, I can at least have my two cents about being able to take it seriously.
Vote no on starlets in remakes. Thanks :)
