Rose McGowan is not, in the least bit, fat.
I didn’t even know about this remake till today, but I’ve often thought Lindsay Lohan would make a great Barbarella. Might help her get a little hipster cred too, like, The House of Yes did for Tori Spelling, all those years back.

SHE IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE; AND I AM AN EXCELLENT JUDGE OF SUCH THINGS. SHE WAS A CHAMPION CHARACTER IN “CHARMED,” AND CARRIES PERFECT FACIAL EXPRESSION, BODY LANGUAGE, AND INTRIGUING VOICE WORK.
ALBEIT BARBARELLA IS THE STAR, I AM ANXIOUS TO KNOW WHO HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY TO WITHSTAND THE CHARACTER OF OLD TYRANT!
MOREOVER, WILL ROB AND ‘EM STEP OUT ON THE LIMB OF BLIND FAITH AND CHOOSE AN UNKNOWN? OR A MUSICIAN CROSSOVER.
MOREOVER, IF I WERE CASTING MY CHOICE WOULD BE TO REWRITE THE CHARACTER AS A BEAUTIFUL AND WICKEDLY INTOXICATING TRANNY.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR THE COVETED ROLE. CONTACT MY AGENT ERIN FRANKLIN!
WARMEST REGARDS MY PRETTY-PRETTY,

Rose carried the Doom Generation very well..i can’t see anyone else in that role! Rose pulled off Amy Blue as cheesy and bitchy and wonderful as she did to a T….she’s not the best actress, but Barbarella MUST HAVE cheese factor, otherwise it’s just another space age, hot chic with a lasergun movie…..she’s perfect for Barbarella and i wouldn’t have it any other way!

Lindsay Lohan. Perfect. Doesn’t really need to act and absolutely has the Barbarella look.

eh.

she doesn’t have enough of a wide-eyed look to pull it off.

likely this remake will be in that pseudo post-bladerunner dark edginess noir nonsense that overtook the film industry’s view on space flicks so long ago, rather than the campy “unrealistic” look that the future used to carry.

such a shame.

hell yeah, if only for her red hair. And it’s not like the original flick asked that much of Jane Fonda, acting wise that is. Oh and I suggest Pam Anderson for The Great Tyrant (with a lot of coaching she can be tought not to give those quirky looks all the time and it’d be a nice hat tip to the original who got knocked up by Keith Richards). Now Pygar, that’s gonna be hard. I mean who’s going to offer himself up to play some winged oiled up blond gay boy? Leonardo di Caprio would be great revenge on behalf of all us guys actually.

You know I think that rose is an attractive actress and capable of doing some very nice work
however I don’t see her as being able to pull off a revamp version of fonda’s iconic character.
That being said I also don’t believe that Rob R is going to try to replicate the french directors work via both look and feel. I imagine that he’s going to try to reimagine it all with his flair and style.
we’ll see.

If I was going to remake the film…
I would use a european actress… someone tall and leggy for the main role
with lots of funk spread all over nice and thick.
- that’s the way I roll.

My vote would be not to remake this movie at all, but if they must, I’m not sure McGowan is the right woman for the lead.

Much more important to me is the fact that Duran Duran should provide the movie’s soundtrack.

Drew?? gimme a break. I’m sure her designer has already done 20 sketches of the new Babie spaceship with eco designs and some big round bed. Who cares. martha stuart etc. drew can barely get one side of her face to work let alone allude to the caliber of hot space snapper. ROSE please. did ya see her shake it in road house.. that is a fine sweaty little ass. I don’t think Drew has broken a sweat without professional supervision in fifteern years.

Doesn’t matter what she’s done before…bottom line is she’s hot..and a good actress. Rehashing an already-acted part is a perfect opportunity for her to get her feet wet in a leading role as she can pull from Fonda’s performance while adding her own spin… Simple, easy…like the bunny slopes.

Rose is hard these days. if there’s a sexy space bod out there , it’s Rose. Narcty and mean. She’ll get the job done better than plain jane. If she doesn’t try to take the thing over. Her dilusions only make her hotter. At least she keeps looking better. the rest just keep looking worse or start pretending they never tried to be sexy in the first place.

The only reason she would get the part is because the director is her boyfriend. Yes I did see Planet Terror. On DVD (She was a part of one of the story archs). Where I think most people saw the film. But I do not see films because of who is in them. I’m not sure a lot of people do. Look at G.Clooney. He is an ‘A’ list actor but I do not remember the last film he was the main star that made $100 mil.

Are people really screaming for a Barbarella remake? Actually Rose has had work done due to an accident so now she lost a lot of her hotness. So the picture up top is about right.

almost as horrid a choice as drew barrymore (fat cow).

a remake of this stature requires a female lead with ‘buzz’ factor…Rose is a gorgeous woman and credible actor but is a bit redundant in Barbarella role for me.

So, you’ve never seen Planet Terror? I’m fairly certain she had a major role in that film. And I don’t even like her that much, and refused to watch that awful witch show she was in for so long, but she was fine in PT as far as I know.

I always like Drew Barrymore as Barbarella – as far as McGowan is concerned – she could be the Great Tyrant – she’d be perfect for that role.

Too short and too fat

Not Barbarella material.

Why even do this film at all?
