Rodriguez Casts Rose McGowan As Barbarella

The remake of cult classic “Barbarella”, which originally starred Jane Fonda as a sexy space vixen, may have found it’s star. Elle.com is reporting that director Robert Rodriguez has cast his current girlfriend Rose McGowan in the title role.

Another day, another remake of a classic. Rodriguez should at the very least try to make an effort to find the best possible actress for the role, or is that leash just too tight?

A highly reliable source tells ELLE.com exclusively that Rose McGowan is slipping into a fur bikini and major bouffant to take on the title role in the remake of Barbarella. Robert Rodriguez, who left his wife after falling for McGowan on the Grindhouse set, is directing and has cast his love in the part made famous by Jane Fonda. While the rumor mill placed everyone from Halle Berry to Kate Beckinsale and Nicole Kidman in the role of Queen of the Galaxy, it seems he’s found the perfect Barbarella in McGowan.
