    Barbarella- The TV Series

    Looks it may be an Amazon original program.

    EXCLUSIVE: I have learned that Gaumont International Television’s Barbarella has been set up at Amazon Studios, which has taken in the pilot script penned by feature writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (Skyfall).

    EXCLUSIVE: I have learned that Gaumont International Television’s Barbarella has been set up at Amazon Studios, which has taken in the pilot script penned by feature writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade (Skyfall). I hear search is underway for a showrunner in anticipation of a pilot pickup. Barbarella is based on the character created by Jean-Claude Forest in a graphic novel and made famous in the 1968 sci-fi movie staring Jane Fonda as a sexpot tasked with finding and stopping an evil weapons inventor. The project, which has been in the works at GIT for a year and a half, is executive produced by Nicolas Refn (Valhalla Rising), who had been attached to direct, and Martha De Laurentiis, whose late husband Dino produced the 1968 movie. GIT has two other series – Hannibal on NBC and Hemlock Grove on Netflix — with a third, Narco, eyeing a green light at Netflix. Amazon Studios has five drama and comedy pilots in the works following the launch of its first original series, comedies Alpha House and Betas. Purvis and Wade are repped by UTA and Casarotto and Neil Meyer

    This might be cool. Depends on the tone I guess.

      I love the film. Don't know how a modern version could be successful with today's audiences.

        Yeah, if it embraces the quirkiness, I'd be all over it.

          totally... given that the production company has Bryan Fuller on staff, I would actually have been interested to see how he would have handled it. I know not everyone was a Pushing Daisies fan, but I could see Barbarella working with that kind of tone or colourful visual flair. I would just hate to see it all Dark and Gloomy looking

          BTW... I need not remind you what extra use you have with the Diabolik head in this case right? Although that means figuring out a Barbarella custom.

            Absolutely right, Sam. Give me bright colors and production design. Maybe source the original comic for more inspiration. Could be a lot of fun, but again, I think what I consider entertaining is a lot different than what is currently marketable.
