Kate Beckinsale is favourite to land the role of Barbarella in a remake of the 1968 film.

Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the guys behind Casino Royale, will update the Jane Fonda classic for veteran producers Dino and Martha De Laurentiis.

De Laurentiis recently 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."
