Jane and Honey Goldman would co-write the sci-fi remake.

A few fan-favorite creators might be joining Sony's Barbarella reboot. On Monday, reports revealed that Baby Driver and Last Night in Soho director Edgar Wright is in talks to helm Barbarella . The film, which is set to star and be executive produced by Sydney Sweeney , has been in development since 2022. According to the reports, Wright initially took a meeting with Sweeney when the project was first announced, but had only committed to developing it at that time.

What Is Barbarella About?Barbarella was created by Jean-Claude Forest to be serialized in V Magazine in 1962, and began to be collected in a standalone book years later. The comic followed the exploits of Barbarella, an astronaut from the 41st century who sets out to find and stop the evil scientist Durand Durand, whose Positronic Ray threatens to bring evil back into the galaxy. Barbarella was adapted into a 1968 film led by Jane Fonda, which has since become a cult classic.
