Last summer's reports that executives at Universal weren't happy about director Robert Rodriguez wanting his girlfriend, Rose McGowan, as the next Barbarella are unfounded, says McGowan to MTV. Or perhaps Universal is more open to the idea now and this is all coming to light. Rose talked to the network on the "malicious" lies about her casting choice and budget issues being the reason why the remake of the cult classic is being held up.
"[The news that I was out] was really irritating because I know all the people over there and obviously it wasn't true. It was very malicious and there was no proof. Oftentimes these things have basis in truth but this didn't. I have contracts to prove it."
She also added that preproduction is still underway, the costumes are done and she's even got a spaceship set to prove it.
