Robert Rodriguez tells the IESB that Barbarella might be headed back to Universal within a week.
Just last week The New York Observer broke the news that Universal had ditched their plans for Robert Rodriguezs Barbarella. According to the paper it all had to do with the casting of Rose McGowan but Robert has denied the reports claiming that it had to do with the skyrocketing budget.
During last Fridays Spike TVs Scream Awards Rodriguez told IESB that, we will know in a week about Barbarella and it might go back to Universal.
Did Rodriguez and Universal come to an agreement? According to the director, it was always about the budget and not about the casting of his new girlfriend Rose McGowan. Robert has said that the budget is currently at 82 million but that the studio is willing to do it for 60 million.
I hope thats the case for Robert because talking with multiple studio execs in Hollywood, all the major studios are most likely to pass on a Barbarella starring Rose McGowan at the level budget that he is looking for.
Lets see if this week brings news for the troubled sci-fi project.
