Berry does Barbarella? | Movie News
The first person who comes to mind when thinking of a bikini-clad, sex-crazed space adventurer ridding the world of intergalactic villains one orgasm at a time should be…Halle Berry? According to these people (found courtesy of JoBlo.com pal and all around pimp daddy Paul from The Hollywood News), Berry "…has recently confirmed her continued status as a sex symbol by nabbing the lead-role in the Barbarella remake." Um, when exactly did she do that? Interview? Profile? Overheard drunken slur? if someone can find a reference for this supposed confirmation, that'd be aces. Anyhoo, what do you guys think of Berry stepping into Jane Fonda's space boots? She certainly has the "sexy" aspect of the character covered. Although considering Robert Rodriguez, who's directing the remake, is currently dating an actress (Rose McGowan) who I'm not entirely convinced isn't a sexpot space adventurer, you'd think she'd be a shoe-in for the role. Please, strike back at will.

Extra Tidbit: In the original BARBARELLA, the evil city of SoGo to which Barbsie travels is a reference to the Biblical Sodom and Gomorrah.

She was awful as Storm in the X-Movies (Storm's supposed to be a regal goddess...not a bitchy princess).
She was a disaster in Catwoman (how can anyone with THAT body in THAT costume be so unsexy?).
And now she's gonna be Barbar-freakin'-ella?
No, thanks.
I wonder, are the people who keep hiring her the same people who keep hiring hacks like Brett Ratner? And why don't they ever

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
I LOATHE Halle Berry. I have loathed her as an actress for many, many years. The only film I ever liked her in was THE LAST BOY SCOUT... because she was killed in a particularly brutal way. I wanted to literally sob when I heard she was being cast as Storm in X-MEN. She just disgusts me. If you buy that she really didn't

If you buy that she really didn't show her tits in SWORDFISH for a few extra hundred grand, you're an idiot.

"I'm not an racist but I don't like when people fuck with the source material. Barbarella ain't black. Sorry Berry."
It's interesting how some peopls say 'I'm not racist'...then go ahead and say something possibly offensive.
Anywho...
I don't know if Berry is 'Barberella'...(First Drew Barrymore, then Rose McGowan, then Halle Berry)...
Barberella has to be 'innocently

Barberella has to be 'innocently sexy' which I think Berry can pull off...
Unfortunately, Berry has been making wrong choices for films lately, but then again Rodriguez has been on a little roll lately with 'Sin City'...then 'Grindhouse' (which I hear is better than Tarantino's part)...
So, who knows?
I'm interested to see how this goes...
