Sydney Sweeney set to star as one of the most iconic sex symbols in comic book history
(Sydney Sweeney is) slated to star in and executive produce an adaption of the erotic science fiction comic Barbarella.
What is that?
An obscure French comic series that has its roots in the sexual revolution of the early 1960s, Barbarella has now been picked up for an adaptation by Sony Pictures.
What is it?
Barbarella is a space adventurer who goes on wacky and sexually-charged adventures across the galaxy. Depicted typically in a skin-tight scarlet and latex suit, she’s had a history of controversy during attempts to bring the comics to America. Seen as too pornographic and erotic for 1970s America, the books were labeled as one of the first erotic comic series to hit shelves.
Was there a previous attempt at this?
There had been previous attempts to adapt Barbarella into cinema, with 1968 seeing Jane Fonda famously star as the character.
Yay, it is was very 60’s and campy.
Hopefully, they will stay TRUE to the source material.
But with so much woke/sjw’s in helly-weird, I sure hope they do not ruin yet another character/potential franchise.
