Kate Beckinsale as "Barbarella"?
This word arrives by way of a British gossip column, so you know what to do with it, but here's the dirt: Kate Beckinsale is apparently being considered for the lead role in Dino De Laurentiis' "Barbarella" remake. And you won't hear any complaints from me.
Best known for kicking Lycan tail in leather in "Underworld" and "Underworld: Evolution," the British actress is also well-known for her work in "Van Helsing," "Pearl Harbor," "Serendipity," "The Aviator," and "Click." She's also well-known for being stunningly hot, but that's just one guy's opinion.
Still no word on who'll be directing the new "Barbarella," but we do know that "Casino Royale" screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are on adaptation duty. (They also wrote "Plunkett & MacLeane" and "Johnny English.") Just sayin'.

on Apr 18 2007 01:40 AM Barbarella not really a step up role for Beckinsale...sure I'd see it but it would definitely not progress her career in the right direction. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 18 2007 04:31 PM In reply to this comment (#861923) [b]That was the same thing I was thinking![/b] I only watch Underworld, because of Beckinsale and what she's wearing. And this movie would be great if she was in it. Should be nominated for an oscar if she's in it. (Reply to this) |

on Apr 19 2007 12:12 PM In reply to this comment (#861928) This should definitely be the scene where Duran Duran makes a cameo appearance while their song "Electric Barbarella" plays in the background. I mean if your're gonna go kitchy ya might as well go all the way.... (Reply to this) |
