Joe Gazzam has been hired to write the new version of the classic 1960's movie BARBARELLA. The film originally had Robert Rodriguez in the director's chair, but now it will be helmed by Robert Luketic, in a partnership with producer Dino De Laurentiis.
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news, and adds that the new version, based around the iconic character, will not be campy, though it will keep the sexuality; there will be seductions, but the focus will be on the adventure.
The story centers on a female mercenary who roams the universe of a distant future, undertaking missions that require fearlessness, ingenuity and sensuality.
The film is currently not affiliated with any studio, but producer De Laurentiis will shop it around after the new screenplay is completed.
