Jane Fonda’s starring turn in 1968’s Barbarella helped catapult her to worldwide acclaim — but she’s not thinking about passing the mantle onto Sydney Sweeney, who is set to lead the upcoming remake.
“I try not to because I worry about what it’s going to be,” Fonda, 85, told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published on Friday, January 27. “I had an idea of how to do it that [original producer] Dino De Laurentiis, when he was still alive, wouldn’t listen to. But it could have been a truly feminist movie.”
The Grace and Frankie alum portrayed Barbarella in the original sci-fi flick, which was directed by her ex-husband Roger Vadim. The movie follows astronaut Barbarella as she attempts to thwart scientist Durand Durand’s (Milo O’Shea) nefarious plans of mass destruction. Barbarella quickly became a cult classic upon its release — and made Fonda a bona fide sex symbol of the decade.
“The ’70s were when I began to produce movies. It was a much easier time,” the two-time Oscar winner recalled of her career during a 2015 panel at Sundance Film Festival. “I took the easy road for a while. I would say that ended with Barbarella. I liked doing something that caused a certain generation of men to have their first erections. But then I became an activist.”
Fonda has since seen her acting as a way to draw attention to her activism, which includes her frequent D.C. “Fire Drill Friday” protests defending climate change.
“One feeds the other,” the 80 for Brady star told THR. “I recently thought, ‘Maybe I do want to quit acting.’ I mean, I’m 85. But then I realized my platform matters. It brings people in that might not come in normally. I was happy to turn 82 in jail [after my 2019 arrest after a protest]. Because I knew it would get

Instead, the “Book Club” star tore up her script for the week, and made her own itinerary instead, touring museums and galleries in Vienna, sans Lugner, according to the Irish Times.She then ranted that fossil fuel companies are “criminal,” after learning that oil and gas company OMV was a sponsor for the ball. “Until yesterday I thought I was going to the opera with this man, now I’ve learned that it’s a popular ball,” Fonda told The Irish Times at a news conference ahead of the event.

“Sunday scaries.”The 20-year-old actress has revealed that she cried “hysterically” and pulled out her hair over the hit Netflix series’ intense shooting schedule during a Q&A with director Tim Burton, Variety reported.

80 for Brady, which opened last week in theaters nationwide.The film is inspired by a true story of four octogenarian female football fans who travel to Houston for the 2017 Super Bowl to watch the New England Patriots play against the Atlanta Falcons.Since the film’s release, some critics have argued the film should have distinct appeal for LGBTQ viewers, primarily due to its quartet of leading ladies who are much beloved by the queer community — Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field — and the inclusion of Billy Porter, who plays a halftime show choreographer.Gus Kenworthy, who makes a cameo in the 98-minute film, says that initially the script called for a shot of him “making out” with his on-screen boyfriend, portrayed by M3GAN actor Brian Jordan Alvarez.The kiss was subsequently cut from the film.The 31-year-old actor said he and Alvarez performed several takes of the kiss, which occur after the pair engage in a back-and-forth lover’s spat. “They used the script for one take, but then we did it like four or five times where we would just ad-lib insults at each other and then make out,” Kenworthy told Variety. “Some of them got raunchy.”He said he hopes at least one of the deleted kisses makes it into the director’s cut.“Release the tapes!” he joked.

Universal’s M. Night Shyamalan R-rated thriller Knock at the Cabin opened its doors last night to $1.45 million in previews off showtimes that began at 5 p.m. That number is just under the preview figure of Shyamalan‘s Old, which did $1.5M before a $16.8M opening. Knock at the Cabin‘s previews makes sense as the tracking outlook for the movie is between $15M-$17M at 3,643 theaters. It also has the fuel from PLF and Dolby ticketing. The pic cost $20M before P&A.

Not to be too dismissive or glib, but filmmaker Paul Weitz (“About A Boy,” “In Good Company”) has seemed to find a new lane in recent years. Could you call that lane the “grandma lane” without seeming like a superficial dick? Hear me out, though, because Weitz, who made the film “Grandma” with Lily Tomlin in 2017—which is very good btw!— has been working with her a lot, and several narratives center on women in the ’60s and ’70s.
The four indelible stars of 80 for Brady — Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field — have a combined age of 335 years but are not the least bit inclined to act like it in this highly concocted but sassy, good-natured wish-fulfilment comedy. The film is as silly and contrived as all get-out and you can’t help feeling that, with a cast this good, it’s a shame that a script worthy of the actresses’ combined talents couldn’t have been found and put to much better use. Still, if you’re at all inclined to spend a couple of hours in the company of four ultra-talented ladies doing dopey and rambunctious things to worm their way into the Super Bowl to behold their sports hero Tom Brady in person, then this is your ticket.
