I have no idea. I am the big idea guy, the high concept guy...I require the genius of others to bring my idea to fruition...and this is a GREAT casting idea. Just the thing she needs in her post 'Man Men' days.
I have a deep affection for the goofy original. John Phillip Law is one of my favorite actors since 'Golden Voyage of Sinbad' and Jane Fonda was one of those early childhood crushes. I would like to see Luc Besson make the new Barbarella because I would like to see something wacky and creative and INTERESTING like his 'FIFTH ELEMENT' was. Plus why shouldn't Christina be a bigger star? And Barberella HAS to be a cute redhead.
Only on the condition that the French remade it. They made the last one, and Barbarella is a French character. Further, the America of 2011 is not the America of 1968. The America of 2011 is the America that brought you Sarah Palin: The Feminist. An American Barbarella remake would scuttle her free-spirited sexual adventurousness in favor of her hooking up with one chiseled-chinned dude (probably Sam Worthington or Channing Tatum) whom she virginally bangs off panel at the very end of the film.
No.
Thanks.
That said, Hendricks is a fine casting choice, though I'd love to see her in a not-directed-by-Zack-Snyder Superman film, as Miss Lane.
But what if some avant gaurde filmmaker makes a Barbarella film with 60s sexual attitudes with the expressed purpose of making Sarah Palin's head explode? Would you be on board then?
I do really like your idea for Christina as Lois Lane though - an overachiever who takes reckless chances for stories because she is constantly fighting the perception that she only got her job because of her magnificent breasts - although she is not afraid to use them to open doors usually closed to noisy reporters. OOOOOO that is great. All the character motivation she needs. Superman - Super Tits - another win/win.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Oh, Hells, yeah!
We should start a grassroots movement -- CH for Barbarella!
How do you start a grassroots movement?

It's a genius casting idea! (although I don't know why my computer decided I needed to say it three times)
I don't think so. I'm not a big fan of remakes nor reboots (whith very few exceptions).
You were always going to be a tough sell anyways.
I'm a tough sell. But my guess is that they sold it easily to you because the new Barbarella might be a cute redhead.

Difficult (but not impossible) to make an interesting movie without an original story. And Luc Besson has made bad movies too.
Maybe but just maybe. I'd rather see them come up with some interesting idea/story!
You do remember this is HOLLYWOOD were are talking about here, right?
Good idea..no brilliant!
maybe not remade, but a maxim photoshoot perhaps... the original was so hippy and could never be made in a modern day...
but definitely with christina

@Matt, I couldn't have said it better.
