Movie mogul Dino De Laurentiis is remaking the classic Jane Fonda sci-fi movie, Barbarella, and has inked director Peter Webber.
Variety reports that "Hannibal Rising" director Peter Webber will direct the new version of Barbarella for producer Dino De Laurentiis.
"Female James Bond, in outer space," is how De Laurentiis described the project. Barbarella will shoot at Morocco's CLA studios, according to Variety.
Jane Fonda stared as the title character in the 1968 original which De Laurentiis produced.
De Laurentiis said that the script is being worked on now, but no one has been selected to play the title role yet. But there are rumors.
Now that the script is being worked on and there’s a director, names are being slung like mad. Enter this year's on the brink star, Sienna Miller. Allegedly she is Dino’s first choice as the title role.
An unnamed source said to the The Daily Express, “Dino feels this is the right time for Barbarella to return and Sienna is the lead contender. She’s sexy but can act at the same time, much like Jane Fonda.”
