You might not think the director of Legally Blonde and Monster-In-Law would be the best fit for a remake of Barbarella, but apparently Robert Luketic is thinking about stepping into Robert Rodriguez’s shoes for the remake of the cult sci-fi classic Barbarella.
Rodriguez is said to have bowed out after producers insisted the movie was shot in Germany, while he wanted to make it in Austin, Texas, where his Troublemaker Studios is based. However it now seems Lukeitc has teamed up with the Dino De Laurentiis company and Universal to restart the remake.
While Rodriquez’s on-off girlfriend Rose MacGowan was previously attached to the Jan Fonda role, there’s no news yet on new casting for the movie.
