Psychedelic Sex in Space: Barbarella's Coming Back!

/media/news/21497/14.jpg

Hot on the heels of the commercial failure slash visual assault that was “Grindhouse”, Mexican-American director Robert Rodriguez is setting his cinematic sights on the bawdy psychedelic delights of “Barbarella.” The film will be a remake of the pseudo-erotic 1968 cult classic, which in turn was based on a 1962 French comic book created by illustrious illustrator Jean-Claude Forest. As described by Film Asylum:

Barbarella tells the story of a female mercenary who roams across the universe in a distant future, undertaking missions that require her physical fearlessness, ingenuity, and sensuality. In travels that span galaxies known and unknown, Barbarella will challenge tradition, startle the senses and take audiences on an epic adventure of discovery and wonder.
Ooh la la. Several key elements are in place, but here's to hoping Rodriguez does nothing to soil the memory of what some might call the greatest opening sequence ever filmed (in a crappy movie):
