… also if it was a musical and featured singing human/alien genitalia that would help a whole lot.

Made by DeLaurentis+Rodriguez it could have been cool. – Rodriguez is good for edginess, DeLaurentis is good for stupid camp and epic fail. I think for best results it should be shot as a long bi pr0n movie and crudely edited down to fit 90 mins and an R rating, so there would be 2 versions, with the uncut version having an extra hour or so of orgy and humping.

When the original Barbarella came out it was a Spirit of the Age. What we now perceive as a campy soft-core porn was a decadent State of the Art film.

…While I agree that Megan Fox would be ideal as a Sex Symbol, our modern equivalent of Jane Fonda…
A Remake of This film seems like it would be pointless.

Is there a modern equivalent to the original material Barbarella was based on?

Barbarella worked as a movie Because of the time it was made. It would be Awesome if someone could recontextualize that into Today’s culture… but I doubt that will be the case.

You know who I would love to see in the role? Diora Baird. Now that’s hot.

Who said it was not ok to form an opinion based on a trailer?

You cannot judge the movie in its entirety since you haven’t seen the film. But there is never an issue about deciding on your level of anticipation or first impressions.

That’s what a trailer is for.

In reply to Tomi. I'll put my hand up here for blowing this out of proportion though

I’m not talking about the remake I’m talking about the simple act of judging a movie solely on its trailer.

I’m wondering why it’s ok to make fun of an old cheesy movie based on the trailer but it’s not ok to make fun of a new cheesy movie based on the trailer – without getting totally torn apart.

But whatever, this isn’t that important, I was just trying to defend John by pointing out what I perceived as some minor hypocrisy on the part of the readers.

A lack of faith in Rose McGowan? I guess they hadn’t seen Planet Terror. She would be fine in that role. Maybe they’ll guess Jessica Alba in the role. I mean let’s face it, I won’t be going to see this because of her amazing thespian acting skills. I would give an arm and a leg to see Jessica Alba naked (Lol). Maybe I’m be bias since I love Jessica Alba. Seriously, the only requirement for the film is for the woman to look sexy.

Because you seem to want to make this about John’s opinion on GI Joe and somehow parallel that to the news that they are remaking a film.

There is no comparison at all. This is its own story with its own considerations and has NO connection at all to GI Joe.

This movie hasn’t been remade yet. GI Joe has already been made.

In reply to Tomi. No disrespect intended, but how is there no comparison between people mocking Barbarella before they see it and people mocking GI Joe before they see it, both solely based on the trailer? And again, I'm not disagreeing that it's a hilarious trailer.

In reply to Tomi.

Big difference is that watching a trailer, you can suspect a movie would be an action film or a comedy.

This makes it look like it could be an ad for porn.

Again… NO comparison to GI Joe or John’s expectations for the film.
