Rescue Me? :-)

.....Umm, those immortal words are about to be spoken again, with much the same results. :-) I love SciFi Wire, you hear all the weirdest news on it. Seems like there is a re-make of Barbarella in the works...

"Joe Gazzam has been tapped to write a screenplay for a new version of Barbarella, the sci-fi character immortalized by Jane Fonda in the 1968 original film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Robert Luketic is attached to direct the sci-fi action-adventure, with original producer Dino De Laurentiis on board to produce the update along with his wife, Martha De Laurentiis. Here's what the trade paper reported:

Robert Rodriguez came on the project, which was then set up at Universal, in May 2007 with an eye to making it a vehicle for Rose McGowan. Neal Purvis and Robert Wade wrote the script, 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.
Barbarella centers on a female mercenary who roams the universe of a distant future, undertaking missions that require fearlessness, ingenuity and sensuality. The character debuted in 1962 in a French graphic magazine written and illustrated by Jean-Claude Forest and was known for her sexual escapades. There also was a musical produced in 2004.

The new take on the iconic character will not be campy, though it will keep the sexuality; there will be seductions, but the focus will be on the adventure."

.....Adventure, eh? :-)

.....Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!
