- Cinematical says Rose McGowan is Still Barbarella.
- Also, Rogue Giving Femme-Centric Comic Book a Chance – ‘Hack/Slash’ on the Way.

Now how in the world are they going to remake Barbarella? I can’t imagine that anyone nowadays would make it like the original movie, and the thought of an “updated” version is just too terrible to comprehend!
