When it was announced that Robert Rodriguez would direct a remake of BARBARELLA, it was speculated (and essentially confirmed right here at JoBlo) that his GRINDHOUSE warrior-stripper and new squeeze Rose McGowan would portray the sex-seeking intergalactic adventuress of the title.

As she tells MTV, she’s still unequivocally slipping into the skintight suit: “Oftentimes these things have basis in truth but this didn’t. I have contracts to prove it.“
She also says that things are moving along nicely: “Half of the sets have been built. The costumes are done.” But a potential actors strike (not again!) in June has kept things from getting to the shooting stage. See what else she has to say on the project RIGHT HERE

The cheeky 1968 erotic sci-fi flick starred Jane Fonda as a saucy space vixen dispatched to find a mad scientist, which involved getting naked at regular intervals along the way.
