'DRIVE' DIRECTOR REVIVES THE SEXY 'BARBARELLA'


Skyfall screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade are to script a new TV show based on iconic comic book character Barbarella.

This is so exciting! I mean, It could be horrendous, but with the amazing creative man-power supporting this project it could also be amazing!

The sci-fi heroine became popular in a series of comic books created by Jean-Claude Forest. Barbarella was played by Jane Fonda in a 1968 film of the same name.
 
Plans for a Barbarella TV series were first unveiled last June (2012). Nicolas Winding Refn, the filmmaker behind Drive will both executive produce and direct.

Refn said in a statement: "I'm extremely excited that Neal and Robert have signed on to develop and write Barbarella with me. I'm certain that the combination of our creative forces will produce a show that is as enthralling as it is sexy."
