Rose McGowan talks about the Barbarella remake. “The original doesn’t have a lot to go on plot-wise. It’s one thing to do a remake of something that could have been much better storywise even if it was fantastic visually. It’s another thing to remake something flawless. That way if yours isn’t that good at least yours is better than that one.”
