Nearly 55 years after the last adaptation hit theaters, Sydney Sweeney has signed on to star in and executive produce a new Barbarella movie.
Though busy in the world of Marvel, Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney is gearing up for her next project to star in and executive produce a new Barbarella movie. Originally created by Jean-Claude Forest, the Barbarella comics centered on the titular character as she went on a variety of adventures through space, many of which resulted in her sleeping with the alien races she encountered.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Just a few years after making her comic book debut, a Barbarella movie would be produced starring Jane Fonda in the titular role and following her on an adventure to stop the mad scientist, Durand Durand, from utilizing his humanity-killing weapon.Directed by Roger Vadim, the film underperformed at the box office and scored mixed reviews, though would go on to be considered a B-movie classic.
How Sydney Sweeney's Barbarella Can Outdo The Cult Classic Movie Though considered a cult classic for its time, an updated take on a Barbarella movie could largely improve upon the flaws of the original. Much of the criticism directed towards the original Jane Fonda movie stemmed from its bland story and flat writing, while its visual effects were largely well-received, both aspects of which can be improved upon with 55 years worth of hindsight for those involved to look back upon.
One of the more divisive elements the new Barbarella movie will have to face is the erotic nature of the original comics, as well as the 1968 movie.
