Gatchaman
Anime News Network says here that "Nikkatsu Corporation, a subsidiary of Index Holdings, has announced that it has green-lit live-action adaptations of two 1970s anime series, 'Yatterman' and 'Ninja Science Team Gatchaman.'" That's "Battle of the Planets" for the uninitiated.
Barbarella
Variety reports that Neal Purvis and Robert Wade will write the script for the remake of "Barbarella." Rather than the Jane Fonda as sex kitten angle, the writers plan to make Barbarella a "free, modern gal who survives in a futuristic world through her intelligence, fighting skills and sexuality." Dino and Martha De Laurentiis bought the rights from Julien Forest, the son of Jean-Claude Forest who wrote the comic on which the film is based. De Laurentiis said: "Barbarella is the ultimate science-fiction adventure heroine: smart, strong funny and sexy. I'm excited to reintroduce Barbarella to a new generation of moviegoers."
