Just when we all thought we were going to be getting off on Kate Beckinsale revamping the sexy sci-fi tale BARBARELLA, Beckinsale puts an end to the rumors before we can even get the lube. The rumor of Beckinsale starring in the remake of BARBARELLA has been floating around the net for the better part of a week, but the ultra-sexy actress had this to say on the matters: “I just found out myself today,” the actress said last week from the set of the currently shooting WHITEOUT. “It’s thrilling! I’ve never heard anything about it before today. One of the [WHITEOUT] crewmembers told me.”
This project has seen a few babes being rumored for the lead, including Lindsay Lohan and Drew Barrymore. I guess we can add Beckinsale to the now growing list of hotties that will not be starring in the film.
Beckinsale did have a sense of humor about it though, as she told reporters that if she did take the role, the film would require a name change.
