Movin' on the floor babe, you're like a bird of paradise...

Well, they're not stopping with insanity of remaking Escape from New York---now they're going to remake Roger Vadim's classic science fiction porn-in-space flick Barbarella.

Plot summary on IMDB:

The year is 40,000. Peacefully floating around in zero-gravity Barbarella (Jane Fonda) is suddenly interrupted by a call from the President of Earth. A young scientist, Durand Durand, is threatening the ancient universal peace and Barbarella is the chosen one to find him and save the world. During her mission, Barbarella never finds herself in a situation where it isn't possible to lose at least part of her already minimal dressing

So who are they thinking using to be Barbarella? Some French model, as Angelina Jolie aint cheap enough.

Allrighty then.

OKAY, SO THIS WAS ALL A PRETEXT TO POST THIS CLIP:

Sue me, sue me, shoot bullets through me, I loves ya.

As a former Durannie, I thank you for that clip.

Why not give the lovely Melissa Theuriau her first starring film role. She's French, she's a babe, and it's not like acting chops are needed for Barbarella, for Pete's sake.

Noooo!
I love Barbarella in all its cheesy glory. They can't do it. The campiness is what made it so good.

I love B-movies.
