Rose McGowan Is Destroying Robert Rodriguez's Career
Filed under: Film Flickers > Rose McGowan
Fangurls went into a tizzy when the news broke that Robert Rodriguez cast his fiance, Rose McGowan, as the lead in his remake of Barbarella.
Now, the director's nepotism is biting him in the ass. Hard.
The NY Observer is reporting that Universal Studios has backed out of the film as a result of McGowan's casting. As a result, the film will be financed solely by independent backers.
Rodriguez denies that Rose's casting had anything to do with Universal losing interest in the film. Instead, he says it all had to do with money.
"Universal had initially signed on for $60 million,” says Robert. "But then when we were done with the script it wound up at closer to $82 million."
Rodriguez also counters that the folks at Universal were in fact thrilled with McGowan’s screen test, “blown over,” as he put it. “They said, ‘What are we looking at?’” Mr. Rodriguez said. “She looks fantastic in the role. … She was perfect for this part. She just has that daring look, a sort of classic sexiness that is also kind of futuristic.”
Sources close to the film paint a different story, though.
“It’s sort of embarrassing for everyone involved,” says an insider. “No one thinks Rose can carry the movie, but Robert won’t listen.”
Rodriguez is still trying to shop the movie - with McGowan attached - to other studios for additional backing.

AND………HER FACE!
Thats stupid..shes gorgeous and talented. I think she will carry the role out very well.
Not to be mean, but who really gives a shit!?!?
xoxo, Spliff
I think she's perfect for Barbarella!!! So Hot!!!
i think she's an awesome choice for the role. and i actually think she'd add to the "cult, b-movie" type following.
Sad how he left his Mexican wife and children for this pale goddess. Guess he wanted a trophy wife better than the one he had and that says a lot about him doesn't it?
Oddly I see her in the part. She looks like Barbarella. Are people forgeting what a total B-Movie Barbarella really was? Rose will totally pull it off. At least on the level of the original movie. It won't be Oscar material….
robert went from nothing to something and back to nothing.
I think she's absolutely perfect for it.. I love her. I think he would make it a better film if it was independent anyway so it will be a better fit.
no matter what we all know Rodriguez is a great Director and anyone can act in his films! He's a visionary!
shes a homewrecker.
Good! Then they'll all get shipped back to Mexico!!!
It's gonna kick ass because he is the best
Rodriguez's movies are shizz anyway. El Mariachi II is one of the most embarrasing bad movies I've ever seen.
I'm not interested in anything he puts out. I just have no respect for people who leave their wife and kids for some little infatuation that won't last.
Rose shouldn't want a man who would leave his wife and kids and he shouldn't want a woman who has slept with Marylin Manson. DISGUSTING!!
Their little fling will be over soon and he would have blown a long marriage with children all because he was smitten with some kitty cat.
OMG the article says the role would probably go to someone like Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry or Jessica Alba if done Universal's way..
THAT MAKES ME WANNA FUCKING VOMIT
thank god he is making the right choice.. don't let the big studios get in the way of your much more artistic and interesting take.. ugh Jessica Alba?? PLEASE
SHE'S A COCK SUCKING HUSBAND SNATCHER PUG FACE WHORE!!
HER FACE LOOKS LIKE SHE JUST FINISHED UP A 8 HOUR ORGY !!!
I agree…Rose McGowan doesn't have the chops to carry this film! While she may be great for that part, they need someone BIG to sign on to make it a film I’d want to see. Bring back Jane Fonda!!!!
Strange how he used the words "blown over". She's a B-list slut.
i actually think she would make a perfect futuristic vixen barbarella as well. AS LONG as she can whip her body into shape. jane fonda was prime when she played that role, rose will have to be as well. rose has always had some vixen or villainous type role & she does it very well.
It's not nepotism, it's favoritism. Nepotism implies a family connection. /English nazi (sorry, that's been driving me nuts)
LOL
perez you made me have another laugh
u say bullshit LOL
She looks way too old to play the part and her body is bad. That dress looks terrible on her because she's flabby and thick waisted. How's that song go? When a Man Loves a Woman……..
The original film was a BAG OF SHIT and I dont know why people pretend otherwise. Why bother with a re-make? She looks like a Las Vegas stripper in this pic. Great for sex but not the Cinema! Some people are TV standard & not meant for MOVIES. It will BOMB at the box office. Films about female "comic" characters always do! Roddy should know this…
He should cast Scarlett Johanson as Barbarella and Rose can be something else.
He could get Dixie Carter to play Barbarella for a lot less.
she took him from his wife & kids and now his job….what's next? she's gross!
Ugh. The original film was so "bad", why would anybody want to do a remake of it??
Bad in a good way in that it was campy & so awful its a classic.
Re-doing it is just a waste of money.
why is that spic dresssed like tim mcgraw????????
this is total shit,,,,,,,
Rose is awesome!@@
she would be perfect for that film,,
Why so much hate for this chick,,
she is sci/fi and horror to a T
this chick should be in a ton more flicks@@
I would love to see her in a remake of Cherry 2000
that would be the shit!!
I love Rose in Planet Terror so I think she will kick ass as Barberella. Another thing half of the young people haven't even seen the original, so they don't know what they are talking about.
I love Rose! and I am very glad they hooked up,,
she is the queen of B flickery!!
more Rose please!
whatever. im a huge fan of both of them. she's perfect for the role.
I bet shes wearing high heels. Were she to take them off she'd probably be under five feet. Who wants a 5-foot Barbarella?
ahahahahahahahahaha!
That is HYSTERICAL!!! Get a clue Rose! (Or get an acting coach - your choice)
A "Barbarella" remake would be lucky to have Rose. It definetely seems like nepotism, but I'm sure she would do a great job.
ROSE IS A GOOD ACTRESS BUT DAMN UNSURE SHE CAN PULL THIS ONE OFF!!
Rose McGowan isn't destroying Robert Rodriguez' career. His films handle that quite nicely, all by themselves.
Re: Lucy –
ROFL!!!
WHO KNOWS??
Re: Rock –
"I bet shes wearing high heels. Were she to take them off she’d probably be under five feet. Who wants a 5-foot Barbarella?"
I think she's 5'1 or 5'2. She's a midget. No, maybe more like a troll.
HOmewrecker with a CAPITAL H. I used to like Rose McGowan when she was on "Charmed." She looked fresh, young and most importantly… real. Now, she looks more like a young Joan Rivers… not a good thing. Robert Rodriguez is based here in Austin, Texas… He is a talented guy who made a major mistake by forsaking his talented and powerful wife for a gold digger like Rose McGowan. (Does he NOT remember what happened to Ben Affleck when he was courting "Jenny From The Block"? His career went into a spiral. Rose McGowan's looks are gone. She looks more like a model for Botox Monthly. There's STILL time to call it off. He better not make a mistake like Paul McCartney did. GET AN IRON CLAD PRE-NUPTIAL AGREEMENT!!
from RC in South Austin, Texas
I think she is pretty, bessides people in everyday life leave their spouses, I think everyone should focus on the movie, which I think she will be awsome at!!!! That bitch Is FINE!!!!!
serves them both right, idiots!
although i don't agree with rodriquez leaving his wife and five kids, maybe something else was going on, maybe they had an empty marriage, who knows? all i know is i absolutely love rose mcgowan shes a badass bitch!
i also think marilyn manson has an excellent taste in women! Dita von tesse, rose mcgowan, evan rachal wood. Yaaa!
I have to comment on this and several other items in the same vein. In the course of my job I have reviewed over 20,000 divorce cases. 80% of ALL of these cases are due to infidelity, usually, but not exclusively of men. I don't recall anyone calling a MAN a home-wrecker, (Rose, Angelina, etc). I also have to laugh at the very term "home-wrecker", it's so very 1950's tabloid. It's take TWO to tango, no home was ever "wrecked" by one person alone. It's just more of the same old double standard, the woman is ALWAYS the "whore"! It's the 21st century, I think equality is due.
McGowan is a hack.
And it appears she has had some work done.
If only she could work on her fucked up personality/acting chops.
Too bad its not that easy. Shes a skank and anyone with a brain in the biz knows better.
That guy is a dumb ass. There are too many whores in Hollywood. Many of them are actually hotter and yonger than this bitch. What is he thinking? Ruining his career for her?!!!
Re: Legal Eagle – If skanks dont sleep with married me, then they cant be called home wreckers huh???
Fuck youre dumb
This just goes to show you that a little pussy goes a long way. Dude is stone-cold pussy-whipped!! I don't know if she can carry the film or not. But what I do know is that studios are already having problems with A list female actresses carrying a major movie. What makes you think they're going to greenlight a film starring rose McGowan?
God damn he is HOT. Ditch the bitch and make the switch.
Umm..what career? Wasn't Scream the last movie she was in, like 11 years ago?
It's funny how Robert Rodriguez says she would "look" good in the role and that she blew them away with her look. Not that she blew them away with her acting skills. She is a decent actress at best. All of her characters are portayed the same way.
I hope hes casting her for the role for the right reasons, not because she's sleeping with him.
LOSE THE BICTH AND MAKE SIN CITY 2
shit… RR is one of my favorite directors, with some of the biggest balls in mainstream cinematography. Rose isn't a bad actress, she was quite impressive in her roles with quentin and robert so i doubt the movie would be bad. It's just that i think she is kind of interested in RR for the money.. hell, she used fo fuck marylin manson. (sp?)
Pinche puta gringa panoche de pescado!..Stupid Roberto you've betrayed your mejicano roots por una pinche gringa que tiene panoche pordida! Eres un pendejo como Henry Cisneros quandro se fayo con esa puta gringa tanbiem…he lost his political career and you will fuck yours up too!
Barbarella is my favorite movie of all time and it shouldn't be remade at all but Rose will make a good Barbarella as far as looks go. I hope the acting is different than her usual same character.
that's what he gets for leaving his family for a melted candle face!
why doesn't he just think about the nasty butt shiy Manson did to her and how they probably fucked with animals …..Stupid pendejo Robert qe tienes? Sh'e a fuckin ripped open gringa that canprobabaly take that size 13 boot and leg all the up her ass an dout her mouth. OUE!TIENES PENDEJO! you think a nasty gringa will give you the image of a man ? pendejo!
fuck you perez u can't win the war on rose mcgowan ! give the girl a fucking break, shes so unique you like all the wannabee's and the fakes.
These stupid people deserve what they get. Who the Hell gets involved with a married guy with kids? Whores. He's no better and should've kept his dick in his pants. Those poor kids.
Re: kara – Oh please. She's a carved up slut. The've already lost the "war"-all by themselves.
WHORES…both of them…DIRTY EFFING WHORES…I'm glad his career will burn up in smoke just like his marriage for this homewrecking whore…hope her overused and abused pussy was worth it you weak shell of a man
I'm a Rose McGowan fan. I've loved her since I first saw her in Scream. She's a really good actress. She's also extremely attractive. For all you people saying she's a homewrecker, do your homework first. Robert and his wife were already separated. Plus it takes two to make the decision to be together. Funny how everyone always blames the woman when it's just as much if not more so the man's fault. He's the one who made five children with his wife and decided he wanted a younger, more attractive woman. I wish them all the best.
Re: kara – you probably hung by your tits as she and Manson plug you with a whale dick… she's a whore and a no where actress/ nasty stinky pussy bitch..you and her probably drip green cruddles from you holes
Re: Lola Rose –
a "WOMAN" doesn't go after a married man…seperated or not…seperated does NOT mean divorced. a WHORE does go after married men…see the difference?
is it just me or is everyone who reads this website totally out of the loop? rose starred in grindhouse, a major blockbuster hit, which was directed by robert rodriguez and has just been released on video! it's not as if she's getting the part because of "nepotism." she kicked major ass in her last role. it makes perfect sense that she would be cast it in his next film. it's ironic how obsessed ya'll are with hollywood, yet none of you (even perez) take any interest in what makes hollywood so fascinating- the directors.
I love rose, she is very talented and beautiful
That picture unsettled my tummy the last time you ran it. Not sure if it's the nauseating seafoam green "creation" draped over Ms. Mc.'s bone white flab, or her turned-inside-out lips and 50 year old face. She's past her prime, as much as I hate to say it. The sleepy eyes she used to have looked sexy on her, but now she looks like a bad plastic surgeon's version of a middle aged Asian lady. She looks so artificial that if she had a Madame Tussaud's wax dummy, no one would be able to tell the difference. Ugh, just ugh. Bitch is nasty. Can you imagine her as a stepmother to his kids?! They will probably be dumping sardine cans in her underwear drawer as soon as her back is turned. Get her, kids! Everyone is sick and tired of looking at this skank!
this won't faze him… dude is indy and brilliant… he can handle his shit without hollywood.
rose can barely open an envelope much less a movie on any budget. she is OLD NEWS! rodriguez is flat out pussy whipped and she has him by the balls. good for her for being that smart to manipulate that dumb ass into thinking she has anything to offer but herpes and an end to his career. ha! pathetic.
Rose totally carried the Planet Terror segment of Grindhouse, she was perfect for the part. Do you realize she actually had to wear a heavy prosthetic to make her prosthetic gun scenes realistic? Her and Rob look great together, they're both fucking HOT and talented!!!
BARBARELLA is one of the best movies ever. Why is anyone trying to redo it? Why can't directors be fucking original these days? I hope the movie never comes out. Do we really need to see another shitty remake of a movie? NO!!!!
Rose McGowan has no friends.
Rose McGowen has no mirrow.
Rose McGowen has no stylist.
Rose McGowen's friend there has no eyesight.
WHO THE HELL LET HER OUT OF THE HOUSE LOOKING LIKE THAT>>
LOOK AT THAT OUTFIT. Two pasties and a super maxi-pad would look better.
i've been watching movies starring rose since the early 90's. she isn't your typical mainstream actress & thats why she has a bit of a cult following. she's a bit of a crossover really, one of the original indie flick chicks that got recognition. the reason these 'A-list' actresses aren't doing well in movies these days is because we only know them as A-list because of the studios pushing them down our throats & good management/PR teams. is essence, manufactured A-list based on popularity not talent. ppl are growing wise to this & want to genuinely see some fresh legitimate people who have actual talent & are more human. think on that a bit, losers.
Are you kidding? GRINDHOUSE FAILED!!!! MORON!!! BOX OFFICE BUST!!! HELLO?!?! HOW DO YOU THINK SHE GOT THAT ROLE TOO!?!?! God - you are very sweet and naive. Love you for it though.
why should he stay with someone when he's in love with someone else. That sounds like prison,. He got divorced, so what!
And she's not a skank,, people aren't property. Maybe his wife gave him hell all these years and he was ripe for the picking.
Rose is a horrible actress. I used to watch Charmed, but had to stop once she came on. I'll never go to a movie with her as the star. All I can say is she must be giving Rodriguez some awfully good head.
