I tried to rewatch the original maybe a decade or so ago, and it was pretty unwatchable. I’d be interested to see what an updated version would look like.
Let me guess ….. Barbs is a strong , independent woman who takes no s##t from any man , dresses like Catwoman on steroids and needs no-one .
Gotta be . 😁
Hollywood is out of ideas. Endless remakes, which are rarely better than the original except for special effects, are not a substitute for original scripts.

I hope Duran Duran is going to be there.
Another remake, yay.
The half asleep guys suddenly wake up 😀
Tough one, as much as I hate remakes, I like most of Edgar Wright’s films, depends on who edits it as well. Will be interesting to see.
Why ?

ya ! 🙂
The original was the worst movie I have ever seen in my 63 years. Why not spend your time and money on something new and original.
Just imagine the sex machines and CGi!!
The babies!!!!
They can get Jane to do a cameo!!!
I can see him doing something crazy with this
Kinda feels like an outdated op
A “remake” may be a disingenuous term. There’s plenty of comic book material to draw from.
Why are they reaching for another remake? How about here’s a thought how about something new & original?
10 years later she will complain about how “uncomfortable” she was making it.
Will she strip buck naked in the beginning of the movie?
Yay said no one. ANOTHER remake of a movie that does not need it.

How about someone make Vampirella or Modesty Blaise?
I think you mean ‘Edgar Wright’s Barbarella remake’.
Would have to be X rated
Music by Duran Duran?
Another remake!?
I don’t know if Barbarella is a movie that could get made today. At least one that resembles the original.
woke remake?
