Re: Angelina or Megan? Who's your Barbarella?

I agree with Bio about these two points for sure...NEITHER. And Fox has no skills.
But mostly neither for different reasons.
Barbarella was a stereotypical dumb blonde. No offense intended. The character is written that way.
I'll leave ALL comments about Jane Fonda out of this completely.
But the character loses everything if you have an actress not known for acting stupidly portray her.
Angelina is not capable of playing a Ditz. (Good for her)
And Megan Fox, well, I don't think she's a good enough actress to play anything.
I just don't see all the hype about her in the first place, but maybe that's just me.
If you ask me, you might as well cast Jessica Simpson as Barbarella. It'd ring more true. Or Julie K. Smith. ( , put that in for you classic B movie lovers)
Maybe McAdams, as Bio said...
As for the black queen...I kinda like the Demi suggestion by Krasch, but you could go with Julie Strain and tie the whole thing together with a Battle Queen 2010: return of Barbarella motif. (Again with the B movie reference ...might as well have Andy Sidaris direct)
I most likely won't see the movie if it gets made anyway.
