Sydney Sweeney, heroine and intergalactic traveller: "It will be worth it"

Sydney Sweeney will become an intergalactic heroine when she stars in the remake of the 1968 film 'Barbarella'. This, in turn, is based on the story of a French comic book of the same name. The actress, in statements to Empire, has given details about the state of production and made it clear that it is not by any means cancelled. She is optimistic and excited.

The 27-year-old is heavily involved in the development of the feature film. "I was in London in a meeting to talk about the script and the story. I can't say much, but it's all coming together in a really fun and big way. It's a long process. I don't think people realize how long some things can take, but the wait will be worth it," Sydney Sweeney told the publication.

The history of 'Barbarella'

The original 'Barbarella' film, released in 1968, was directed by Roger Vadim and starred the popular Jane Fonda. This actress, like Sweeney Sydney today, was one of the faces of the moment and her participation in the film was a clear draw for audiences

The comic, from which the feature film was inspired, was created by Frenchman Jean-Claude Forest in 1962. The story revolved around the adventures of Barbarella, a space adventurer who must confront an evil scientist who plans to destroy Earth. The comic has a slightly erotic tone for the time.

Nobody has ed Jane Fonda

In an interview with Vogue in February, Jane Fonda revealed that no one had ed her for the new version of 'Barbarella'. Nevertheless, the veteran actress applauded the new project and showed her respect for Sydney Sweeney, who will star in the current version: "I don't know her and I've never seen her in person, but I think she's great and I'm convinced she'll be a fantastic Barbarella."
