Sydney Sweeney Teases Her BABARELLA Movie and What She's Excited About
Last week, it was announced that Sydney Sweeney was going to star in and produce a new film adaptation of Barbarella. The film is based on Jean-Claude Forest’s French comic book series and the classic 1968 movie which starred Jane Fonda.
The story is set in the 41st century, and the president of Earth sends space adventurer Barbarella on a mission to retrieve a scientist. She crash lands on a planet and explores its strange customs after a man rescues her from captivity. She has to stop the evil scientist Durand Durand, whose Positronic Ray threatens to bring evil back into the galaxy.
During a recent interview at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event, Sweeney talked about the film and teased what she was excited about saying:
“There’s so many things. I mean, Jane Fonda, she created such an incredible, iconic character. And I want to, hopefully, just fill those shoes and give more to a whole new generation – her outfits, sci-fi, the fun of the story. So I’m looking forward to it.”
I can’t help but be curious about what this film will end up being. The original was pretty risque, but it was rated PG. I imagine this new one is going to go for that R-rating. But, we’ll have to wait and see.
What do you think about this new Barbarella film project?
