With Sydney Sweeney set to star in a Barbarella remake, original actor Jane Fonda is worried about the outcome. 'Because I worry about what it's going to be.'
Jane Fonda shares her concerns for Sydney Sweeney's upcoming Barbarella remake. Directed by Roger Vadim, Barbarella saw Fonda in the titular role, a space traveler on a mission from Earth's government to find the destructive Positronic Ray from evil scientist Durand Durand . Released in 1968, Barbarella was based on the French comics by Jean-Claude Forest, which caused a stir at the time by being described as pornographic.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, original star Jane Fonda shares her concerns over Sydney Sweeney's Barbarella remake. Fonda, a feminist pioneer in Hollywood, seems unenthusiastic at the prospect due to its sexist nature. Check out what Honda had to say below: "I try not to [think about it]... Because I worry about what it's going to be. I had an idea of how to do it that [original producer] Dino De Laurentiis, when he was still alive, wouldn't listen to... But it could have been a truly feminist movie."Why The Barbarella Film Was Controversial While Barbarella was received poorly by critics when it first premiered, over the years, it became a cult classic and had a heavy influence on pop culture.
Will The Sydney Sweeney Remake Change Barbarella's Problem? As there is no official writer or director attached to the project, it's difficult to predict if Sweeney, who is serving as executive producer, will be able to put a modern twist on Barbarella. Known for baring it all in various roles, such as Cassie on Euphoria and in The Voyeurs, Sweeney has been vocal about finding empowerment in those types of scenes.
On the other hand, a strong female lead does not need to be completely covered up to be empowering, as Sweeney could find a balance between maintaining Barbarella's iconic look and also bringing the character up to speed in today's day and age. As many popular science fiction franchises are known for their male figures, Sweeney has the opportunity to bring to life a new heroine to the genre.
