If they ever remake Barbarelle, she could play the part
Back in 2009 she sued a newspaper over that idea .
'' Actress Kate Beckinsale accepted £20,000 ($38,000) in libel damages at the U.K. High Court yesterday over a story in Britain's Daily Express newspaper that she was set to miss out on her dream role as Barbarella.
The 35-year-old star of films like Pearl Harbor, Underworld and Van Helsing was not in court for the settlement of her action against Express Newspapers, the Press Association news agency reported.
Her solicitor, Graham Atkins, told Mr. Justice Eady that the story in the Express last month was entirely false and had caused considerable embarrassment and harm.
Beckinsale was never in discussions about the film role and there was never a possibility she would be part of the project. It followed that she had not been passed over in favour of rival Hollywood actress Rose McGowan, as the story claimed.
The newspaper's counsel, Ian Helme, offered its sincere apology.''. Source the Globe and Mail
