Sydney recently mentioned Barbarella in an interview British GQ, where she talked about the box office failure of Madame Web, a film also produced by Sony, and how she signs every project for more reasons than one. “For me that film was a building block, it allowed me to build a relationship with Sony. Without Madam Webb I would have had no connection with the decision-makers there. Everything I do in my career is not just for that story, but for strategic business decisions. Because I did this, I was able to sell to anyone except you. I was able to get Barbarella,” she said.
Sydney was last seen in the horror film Immaculate, directed by Michael Mohan and released in theaters on March 22.
