Pamela Anderson in “Barb Wire” (1996)
The Anderson-led 1996 film Barb Wire, based on the Dark Horse Comics character of the same name, also starred Temuera Morrison, Victoria Rowell, Xander Berkeley, Udo Kier and Steve Railsback. The character debuted in 1993, and a new collection of every major Barb Wire comic, titled The Barb wite Compendium, will be published in February 2026.
While her performance as Barbara “Barb Wire” Kopetski earned Anderson a 1996 Golden Raspberry Award for Worst New Star, she had the last laugh as the film later became a cult favorite.
For Halloween 2024, Beyoncé sported a sexy black corset dress, channeling Anderson’s bounty hunter character, in visuals for her Cowboy Carter song “Bodyguard.”
The new series will revive the superheroic character with a to-be-announced actress. The original film took place in a free city amid a fictional Second American Civil War set in 2017. It remains to be seen when and where the series will be set.
Anderson and Brandon have a proven record as a producing dream team. After her then-agent who received the script for The Last Showgirl from its director Gia Coppola did not pass it along to Anderson, it was Brandon who brought it to her attention, she told PEOPLE in December 2024.
