Just last week we learned that Dino De Laurentiis was hot to produce a new-fangled "female James Bond in outer space" remake of "Barbarella," but it's not exactly a remake, of course. And now it seems that the veteran producer has scored himself a director.

Dino D. Wants a New "Barbarella"
142-year-old film producer Dino De Laurentiis recently dropped some remake news: This time it'll be Roger Vadim's "Barbarella" (which helped to launch Jane Fonda's career in rather sexy style) to get a fresh coat of paint. Oh, but don't mention the word "remake" around ol' Dino. He'd NEVER do a remake of a classic, would he?

Critical Consensus: Jet Li Gets Fresh with "Unleashed"
"Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith" will dominate headlines next week, but this week, it's all about kicking and screaming in one form or another. First off, Jet Li does a lot of kicking and screaming, as well as punching, in the action drama "Unleashed," co-starring recent Oscar winner Morgan Freeman. Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda do their fair share of screaming and baring their claws at each other as potential in-laws in the comedy "Monster-in-Law." There?s also a lot of screaming in "Mindhunters," a thriller starring Val Kilmer, LL Cool J and Christian Slater. Last, but not least, there?s the soccer comedy where Will Ferrell and elementary school kids do a lot of "Kicking and Screaming." Let?s see which of these films critics will be kicking around and screaming at.

"Kingdom" Leads a Less Than Heavenly Weekend at the Box Office
"Officially" starting the Summer Movie Season with somewhat of a fizzle are a pair of wide release newcomers and a handful of hangers-on. Ridley Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven" took the #1 spot by a healthy margin, although total box office numbers continue to lag as compared to last year. "Heaven" grossed an estimated $20 million on 3,200 screens, which was more than enough to give it the top spot, despite hauling in less cash than anticipated. In second place ...
