Rose McGowan Says Barbarella is Happening, Sets Built, Contracts Signed - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

“Half of the sets have been built. The costumes are done,” McGowan confessed. …[‘Barbarella’] wouldn’t be able to be finished before June which is when the next strike might happen,” McGowan said of delays in the face of a possible SAG strike. “It’s a longer shoot.”

She calls the rumors (and tabloid gossip) about a beef with Universal bollocks…

“[The news that I was out] was really irritating because I know all the people over there and obviously it wasn’t true. It was very malicious and there was no proof,” McGowan said of the rumors. “Oftentimes these things have basis in truth but this didn’t. I have contracts to prove it.”

Will her and her mate’s remake surpass the original, a movie that teenagers are probably as familiar with as the identity of Spinderella? She gives a big “very.”

“The original doesn’t have a lot to go on plot-wise. It’s one thing to do a remake of something that could have been much better storywise even if it was fantastic visually. It’s another thing to remake something flawless,” McGowan said. “That way if yours isn’t that good at least yours is better than that one.”

I didn't know she was taking the part, but she'll kick ass as Barbarella.

I have a bad feeling about this...

You don't think she's right for it? She couldn't replace the original Barbarella, if thats what you mean, I agree.

I wish Hollywood would leave the classics alone. Get creative!

I was never a fan of the original.

To me it was two hours of Roger Vadim parading his wife (Fonda) around in skimpy costumes. And even that couldn't make me like Barbarella.

That's ok, I've never even seen an episode

But do I think Rose will be better than Jane ; probably not. Fans of the original probably wont embrace the new, it will only bring in the rose-admiring males (and/or females)

Is Robert Rodriguez directing this; because then you can see he just wants to parade his girlfriend around in skimpy costume.

Yes, Rodriguez is directing.
