Sci-Fi Film and Television Developments

Xena: Warrior Princess
10/16/08 – SCI FI Wire reported that Rob Tapert, former producer of TV's Xena: Warrior Princess, said pretty much everyone involved in the old show would love to see Xena (Lucy Lawless) pick up her chakram once again for a TV movie or some other kind of reunion project.  Tapert said he even had an idea in mind, but that matters are entirely out of his hands.  Xena ran from 1995-2001 and starred Lawless--aka Mrs. Rob Tapert--as the title heroine and Renee O'Connor as her plucky sidekick, Gabrielle. The show was both a mainstream and cult success during its time on the air, and to this day its stars and makers attend conventions worldwide.  Unfortunately, fans' hopes for a reunion movie have yet to be realized. "We've said long ago that we'd love to do something," Tapert said. "We have a fun, 300-style idea for it. ... I can't answer why nothing's happening."
