Trailer for Barbarella Remake

This came up for me yesterday on YouTube. There’s been news and rumours about a remake of the 1968 film Barbarella, which starred Jane Fonda and was based on the French comic. This looks really cool, but I do wonder if they’re going to keep the plot of the original. This was her mission to track down the missing scientist Duran Duran. And speaking of whom, will they have on the soundtrack the cool sounds of Simon Le Bon and co. I also wonder if Luc Besson is directing, because the robot warriors in the clip look more than a little like the K-Tron from the Valerian film, also based on a French comic.
