HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 28, 2000 -- It's official: Drew Barrymore's latest film project, a retelling of the '60s classic Barbarella, has now received funding from Fox and Warner Bros.

Representatives for the project, attempting to describe the storyline, call the upcoming film a cross between "sci-fi and Woody Allen sex comedies."
