Roger Vadim's Barbarella was released 58 years ago today. "In the 41st century, an astronaut partakes in sexy misadventures while seeking to stop an evil scientist who threatens to unleash a powerful weapon upon the galaxy." Such a 1968 movie.

A new Barbarella movie is in development for a while:

I just don't believe they can make a Barbarella movie today.

Not an actually good Barbarella movie, yeah.

Anyway, it will not function in 2026! Today, any sexual allusions are forbidden no-go´s, like extraterrestrial bugs... And the original is a complete sex-paraphase indeed and kind of former feminist liberation thru undressing.

And, second (very very close to first rank): There is not an grain of humor or self-irony today. Not at all. But even a complete loss of facility. Tragic. The ol´feminist thing: Beeing naked and free of conventions as an act of (female) encounter (see french erotic movement: Nothing in 2026.

I’ll only believe a new movie is coming out if it’s directed by Greta Gerwig, produced by Steven Spielberg, and stars Scarlett Johansson. 🤔

I think back in the mid 90s, Drew Barrymore wanted to produce and star in a remake.
