Jessica to become "Barbarella"

Jessica Alba is to play Barbarella in a remake of the classic sci-fi movie.

The Sin City and Fantastic Four star will take on the erotic role made famous by Jane Fonda in 1968.

Jessica, 27, landed the part after director Robert Rodriguez split from his actress girlfriend, Rose McGowan.

He had been planning to remake the film with Rose in the leading role, but studio bosses refused to finance the £50million scheme because Rose wasn't a big enough name.

An insider said: "Now Rose is out of the picture, Jessica is perfect - she's gorgeous and can be a badass on screen."

I am now officially excited. She better be doing the credit sequence properly and none of this body double malarkey either...

I am too though after seeing Grindhouse and Sin City, I'd be more excited if the director was not Robert Rodriguez.

To be fair he also did a movie that I thought wasn't bad called The Faculty.
