Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the duo behind the screenplays for Casino Royale, Skyfall and more, have been tapped to pen Nicolas Winding Refn's TV series, "Barbarella." The pair may be best known for their work in the notoriously skingy James Bond series, but they’ve also written skinsational nude roles for Monet Mazur and Tuva Novotny in Stoned (2005).
Refn announced he was adapting the swingin' 1968 sci-fi classic Barbarella for television back in June, and it will be produced by Martha De Laurentiis, whose late father Dino produced the original movie.
Casting for the new Queen of the Galaxy has yet to be determined, but hopefully she’ll be just as game to shed her spacesuit as Jane Fonda was in the original!
