US, April 18, 2007 - Now that producer Dino De Laurentiis has tapped Casino Royale screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade to script the retelling of Barbarella, rumors are circulating about who might succeed Jane Fonda as the sexy sci-fi icon.

The buzz years ago was that Lindsay Lohan and Drew Barrymore were being eyed to play the title role. But now the British tabloid (yeah, yeah) Daily Express is claiming to know who the current frontrunner is to play Barbarella: English actress Kate Beckinsale.

Kylie should do it. Or Hayden.

Kylie as Barbarella!!!

That's gone right up my flagpole and I'm saluting it!

This has to come under the heading 'Why are they even bothering ?'. Barbarella is a 60s classic for all sorts of reasons, none of which could be improved on in a remake. Hey ho, I'm sure the Men in Suits know what they are doing...I mean, look at how successful all the other recent remakes have been at the box office
