Eyes Jane Goldman And Honey Ross To Co-Write With Edgar Wright In Talks To Direct

Following the success of her most recent Sony pic Anyone But You, the studio isn’t wasting any time staying in the Sydney Sweeney business as sources tell Deadline Jane Goldman and Honey Ross are in negotiations to pen a new Barbarella pic starring Sweeney with Edgar Wright In Talks to direct. The film is still in development given Sweeney’s busy schedule and Wright deep in prep on his The Running Man reboot with Glen Powell starring, so the project will not be next up for either talent.

Even with it being in development, Goldman and Ross being brought on to pen clearly shows the studio is not messing around in getting the film right as they see this as big franchise for all parties. Goldman has helped launch such successful franchises like the rebooted X-Men movies starring James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as well as Matthew Vaughn’s The Kingsmen: Secret Service.

A Sweeney Barbarella was announced a year and a half ago (October 2022 to be exact) and it sounds like it's still quite a way from actually happening. 2026 is possible I guess.

Sweeney is perfect casting for Barbarella. If it happens I will definitely see it.
