Vanessa Hessler for Barbarella!

With Robert Rodriguez bringing a true cult classic back into our modern world is something that I'm dying to see done right. Today's society can not stand SEX and it really is a shame when people who make sex films and films dealing with sexual matters that they can either not raise the money or the final product is dumbed down to appeal to very sect of American life. Films like Barbarella and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls were full a rampt sexual behavior and it was mind boggling to watch these films now and see what could be with today's abilities to light and special enhance people, wild sexual beings from the far reaches of the galaxy could be created and be shown to us to stimulate and get our minds wondering what could be. I apologize for getting a little out there but 'Sex Flicks' need a return and Robert Rodriguez could be the man for the job. Notice how when he wants to Rodriguez can shoot some of the sexiest clothed scenes in movie history. I give you exhibit A:

Exhibit B:


With those in mind I bring to your attention Barbarella. I MDB describes: After an in-flight anti-gravity striptease (masked by the film's opening titles), Barbarella (Jane Fonda), a 41st century astronaut, lands on the planet Lythion and sets out to find the evil Durand Durand in the city of Sogo, where a new sin is invented every hour. There, she encounters such objects as the Exessive Machine, a genuine sex organ on which an accomplished artist of the keyboard, in this case, Durand Durand himself, can drive a victim to death by pleasure, a lesbian queen who, in her dream chamber, can make her fantasies take form, and a group of ladies smoking a giant hookah which, via a poor victim struggling in its glass globe, dispenses Essence of Man. You can't help but be impressed by the special effects crew and the various ways that were found to tear off what few clothes our heroine seemed to possess. Based on the popular French comic strip.
The film is pure camp and the reason it has stood the test of time is due to Jane Fonda being the lead and having never looked better. With that I have begun the casting process myself for who should played the famed titular lead in the Re-Imagining. My first educated choice to replace Jane Fonda would have to be Vanessa Hessler, here is my visual proof.

Doesn't this woman just scram Barbarella, I could easily see her filling the shoes and the Orgasmatron nicely. She has done 'some' acting which is all you need in my book to qualify to star as a Hyper Sexual Space Vixen from the 41st century. More info to follow as I will be watching this production like a hawk. More visual campaigning for Vanessa Hessler and other candidates soon.
