SNgisho nokuqanjwa kwamagama enye yezindima ezibabazekayo emhlabeni we-cinema, leyo ye-protagonist yephrojekthi yesikhathi esizayo nguDino De Laurentiis. Lokhu ukubuyiswa kabusha kukaBarbarella (khumbula ukuthi wayesevele enesibopho senguqulo yokuqala ngaphezu kwezinye izihloko ezinjengezinganekwane njengeConan, iFlash Gordon noma isaga sikaHannibal), ifilimu elalisuselwa kumlingiswa wencwadi yamahlaya owaqophisa uJane Fonda futhi yaphenduka yaba inganekwane evusa inkanuko yamashumi ayisithupha. Manje, abalingisi ababili abazwakala kakhulu ekunikezeni impilo kuqhawekazi enguqulweni entsha yiScarlett Johansson noKirsten Dunst abaqhumayo, abakhona manje kudlalade lukaSpiderman 3.
Selokhu kwavela lo msebenzi, amahlebezi ngomlingisi ophethe ukulingisa kuwo awayekile ukuvela. Kuqala kwaqhamuka igama likaLindsay Lohan onhlanhlathayo, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kwaba nguDrew Barrymore futhi no-Angelina Jolie waphonswa endimeni leyo. I-penultimate yayiyimininingwane eyashicilelwa yi-Daily Press lapho kwaqinisekiswa khona ukuthi uKate Beckinsale, umlingisi ophambili we-Underworld, wayengowokuqala ohlwini ukuba ngumqaphi oqhumayo weBarbarella.
Kepha umlingisi uzikhiphile ngokuqinile kulo msebenzi, futhi ngemuva kwalokhu kulahlekelwa, umkhiqizi ubheke ezinye izinkanyezi ezimbili: uScarlett Johansson noKirsten Dunst. Kepha eyokuqala inesheduli engaphezulu kokuxinana nemali engafinyeleleki kanti eyesibili isivele isho ukuthi ayinandaba nomsebenzi ngoba kunenqwaba yenyama okufanele ifundiswe (ngubani ongayisho ngokubheka isithombe esingezansi) . Inketho yesithathu, futhi enamathuba amaningi, yileyo ka-Erica Durance (owaziwa kangcono ngokuba uLois Lane eSmallville, qaphela, ukuze ungadideki noKristin Kreuk onguLana Lang).
Ekugcineni sizobona ukuthi obani abalingisa kwifilimu entsha, kabani i-premiere ihlelelwe u-2009, walo mnakekeli wenyama wokuthula endaweni yonke owadala iFrance uJean-Claude Forest emuva ngonyaka we-1962. ngiyavuma ukudlala uBarbarella, ngiyethemba ukuthi akabukeki njengoRoger Vadim.
