Here's just a tid-bit from the article.
"That's why it seems a strange choice for a remake. The classic "Doctor Who" style special effects filtered through French pop-art and sheer delirium is a big part of what makes the film work, in its weird way. And redoing that today would be hard, not to mention a hard sell. Perhaps the Luc Besson who made "The Fifth Element" could pull it off. But he's sworn off directing (if we are to believe the man himself).
According to NBC30, via Filmstalker, Producer Dino De Laurentiis is claiming that it won't be a remake as such. He's calling it "a completely new 'Barbarella,'" which sounds very much like a remake after all. And it will have copious amounts of "love, sex, adventure."
So, the questions before us are: Should this be done at all? Which director could do it? And which actress has the juice to blow out the mighty Orgasmotron?"
