De Laurentiis to Remake ‘Barbarella’

Empress Eve   |    |  

Barbarella comic bookThe sexy scifi comic book heroine will get revamped in a planned film written by James Bond scribes.

Producers Dino De Laurentiis and Martha De Laurentiis have completed a rights deal that will allow them to reinvent Barbarella, the French science fiction comic book character made popular by the 1968 movie starring Jane Fonda as the title adventure heroine, according to Variety.

The producers made the film rights acquisition deal with Julien Forest, the son of Jean-Claude Forest, author of the French comic book series, and Hollywood Comics representatives. The deal includes a reissue of the first two Barbarella books along with a feature movie, as well as the publication of material that previously hadn’t been translated into English.

In the remake, which will have a screenplay by Casino Royale writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the Barbarella character will be a free, modern girl who survives in a futuristic world through her intelligence, fighting skills, and sexuality.

The writers, who have just turned in their draft for the 22nd James Bond film, will work on Barbarella next. De Laurentiis has set no timetable on when he’ll seek a studio for the remake.

Dino De Laurentiis also served as producer on the original film, directed by Roger Vadim.
