Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez break up

The duo ended their love affair because of his intended Jane Fonda space flick Barbarella remake, ENQUIRER reports.

McGowan was to star in Barbarella, Red Sonja, a Robert E. Howard barbarian remake and Woman in Chains! a W-I-P (women in prison) flick.

According to the New York Post's Page Six, Barbarella was behind the breakup.

Rodriguez couldn't attract financing for the French femme sci-fi flick after the Grindhouse double feature tanked at the box office.

"Instead, the moguls were saying, 'We need a bigger star, a bigger name', “ a source told the paper.

Jessica Alba's name was a possible replacement.
