Rose McGowan has finally come out of the woodwork to update us on the Barbarella situation.
She tells MTV that it was all just a pack of lies and that the studio never had any qualms about her starring in the film. Really? Hmmm. You can read the original article we wrote about Universal’s posturing over the film HERE.
Here’s what she said to the site…
[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,” McGowan said of the rumors. “Oftentimes these things have basis in truth but this didn’t. I have contracts to prove it.”
“Half of the sets have been built. The costumes are done,” the actress confessed, adding with a laugh that she’s “even got my spaceships. I’ve got part of a spaceship built for me!”
“[‘Barbarella’] wouldn’t be able to be finished before June which is when the next strike might happen,” McGowan said of delays in the face of a possible SAG strike. “It’s a longer shoot.”
Unless you have been living under a rock, you will know McGowan’s boyfriend Robert Rodriguez will helm the film – if it does actually ever get to film.
