Exclusive: 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 and Honey Goldman 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, the Goldman 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. Jane 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.
